Overview

Summer has arrived at Galerie Duret for its final exhibition of the season.


The group show "Summer Breeze" brings together the works of Simone Christen, Laurence Perratzi, Ronald Mugabe, and Anna Kruhelska. Four artists, four distinct worlds, yet one shared sensation: that of lightness, luminosity, and movement — like warm air on the skin, a breeze drifting across space and time.

 

Simone Christen explores fluid abstraction through vibrant compositions of color and transparency. Her work evokes natural flows and shifting atmospheres, engaging in a quiet dialogue with our inner sensibilities — like a landscape we feel more than see.

Laurence Perratzi, moving between sculpture and motion, presents elongated, almost dancing figures. Her subtly tense human forms recall the vital energy of summer: a time of impulse, of liberated bodies, of expansive gestures. Her work captures that suspended moment — at once fragile and powerful.

 

Ronald Mugabe brings a vibrant, narrative dimension with portraits imbued with strength, dignity, and identity. His use of texture, gaze, and color speaks to human warmth as much as solar heat. He offers a vision of the world that is both grounded and poetic, deeply contemporary.

 

Anna Kruhelska, for her part, works with architectural form and volume with geometric precision. Her pieces play with fullness and emptiness, projected shadows and clean lines — evoking sunlit urban landscapes or fragments of minimalist dreams.

 

"Summer Breeze" is an invitation to slow down, to feel, to be moved by aesthetic emotion the way one is touched by a soft, warm wind. A sensory celebration of summer — between abstraction and figuration, matter and light.
