Tainted Love

For her solo exhibition at KOMMET, Bérénice Nouvel plans to occupy multiple layers of the space. The large window will be dressed with "anti-glare" adhesive vinyl decorated with heart-shaped motifs, reminiscent of finger drawings on a fogged-up window. These hearts will offer various perspectives on the mural in the background, depicting a romantic sunset tinged with pink and blue. During the opening, a fanzine containing texts written by the artist will be distributed to visitors. These texts will explore the different aspects of Bérénice Nouvel's artistic practice, from her summer jobs in advertising painting to her work on canvas. The exhibition aims to explore human relationships and emotional bonds from the perspective of young emerging artists. These relationships will include love, connections with painting, and integration into the art world where these artists strive to make their mark.
