Overexposure

Fremin Gallery is pleased to present Overexposure, a summer group exhibition featuring Emilie Arnoux, Jonas Leriche, Aurelien Couput, Benoit Lupi, Marliem Kulsdom, Antoine Rose, Lina Condes and  Creola Carla Cristofari

Opening reception on July 16th at 6pm.

Overexposure, a term associated with the world of photography, brings together artists whose work explores the effects of light, surface, texture  and saturation across painting, photography and mixed media. 

In photographic terms, overexposure occurs when too much light enters the image, dissolving details and transforming perception. In this exhibition, that idea expands into a broad visual and material language. Color becomes heightened, surfaces become tactile, and images shift between clarity and distortion.

In this exhibition, each of the featured artists approaches exposure through a distinct technical process. 

Arnoux’s sunlit bodies, pools, and coastal scenes translate heat, water, and leisure into bright and vivid compositions. Leriche merges photography, digital construction, gold leaf and relief surfaces to allow cracks, texture and imperfections to catch light as part of the image. Couput starts his work with sketches, removing figures and narrative to bring forward landscape and atmosphere through expressive paintings atop intentionally exposed surfaces. Lupi uses acrylic and gold leaf to create luminous horizons which shift gently with light. Kulsdom constructs layered compositions where neon tones, natural forms, and traces of revision emphasize the existing tension between the digital and physical reality. Rose's aerial bird's-eye view photographs provide a profound sense of weightlessness from the sky. Condes' "Splash Symphony" sculptures transcend the movement of jumping into the water, capturing a unique and powerful energy. Cristofari works with a palette knife, acrylic, structural paste, and color to create impasto surfaces where classic images are translated into movement, texture, and new intensity.

Together, these artists’ practices form a conversation around the image pushed beyond simple representation. Overexposure considers how light can reveal, obscure, intensify, and transform the information we receive. Through radiant color, and altered references, this exhibition invites you to fall deep into the sensation of viewing reflective materials and layered surfaces.
