Rebecca Brodskis paints exclusively figures, mainly portraits. With no context background setting, only the faces count. Her models are often strangers whom she has met and whose representation she modifies through her imagination.
While reduced details allow a sense of uncertainty to overcome the images, the looks are thoughtful or deliberate. She says: "A portrait is, above all, a reflection of the soul – I don't paint portraits, I paint people."

Niki de Saint Phalle's 1985 artwork titled "Death" is a striking sculpture that resembles the bigger sculpture that forms part of her renowned Tarot Garden in Tuscany, Italy. This piece represents the Death card from the tarot deck, a symbol often associated with transformation and new beginnings rather than literal demise.
The sculpture features a skeletal figure astride a horse, both adorned with the artist's signature vibrant mosaics and bold colors. Through this work, de Saint Phalle explores themes of mortality and rebirth, inviting viewers to reflect on the cyclical nature of life.

A Senegalese ceramicist Seyni Awa Camara creates many-headed, totemic works that evoke bestiaries and maternity scenes. The artist, known locally as the “Magicienne de la Terre,” or “Magician of the Earth” was introduced to traditional pottery techniques by her mother when she was a child.
As Camara grew older, she began producing not only the utilitarian ceramics used by her family, but also sculptures to sell in the market near her home. After the anthropologist Michèle Odéyé-Finzi began collecting her works in the 1980s, Camara began to receive increasing attention from the international art world.

Known for her intricate and evocative installations that explore themes of memory, human connection, and the passage of time, Chiharu Shiota’s works often bridge the boundaries between sculpture, performance, and conceptual art, creating immersive environments that invite viewers to reflect on their own experiences and emotions.
This work continues Shiota's exploration of themes such as connection and the intangible aspects of existence. While specific details about "In the Hand" are limited, it is consistent with her artistic focus on the interplay between the physical and the ephemeral.

Bedroom Paintings made between 1968 and 1983 reveal the full breadth of the series that Wesselmann considered so central to his oeuvre. Fragments of the human body, such as a hand or a breast, are juxtaposed with objects common to the bedroom — a light switch, flowers, the edges of pillows and curtains.
These compositions draw attention to the abstract properties of each depicted form, the interlocking positive and negative shapes evoking the technique of collage in areas of sharp delineation, bold colour, and softly rendered detail. Although “she” is not at the centre of the image, her presence is unmistakable, determining the complex shape of the canvas.

Prune Nourry is a French multidisciplinary artist known for her exploration of bioethical issues through sculpture, installations, performances, and video. Exhibition "Catharsis" delves into her personal journey through illness and recovery.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, Nourry drew inspiration from the mythological figure of the Amazon — legendary female warriors who, according to myth, amputated one breast to better wield their bows. This theme became central to her work for a certain period of time.

The Prix Solo Art Genève – F.P. Journe was awarded this year within Art Geneve to Richard Saltoun Gallery from among the 26 stands in the Solo section, celebrating artist Baya's creativity. Baya Mahieddine was a self-taught artist whose vibrant and imaginative works gained international acclaim.
Her art is characterized by vivid colors and intricate patterns, often depicting women, flora, and fauna, reflecting a unique blend of her cultural heritage and personal experiences. Baya repeatedly rejected attempts to label her style – naive, primitive, surreal, oriental, outsider – preferring to let her fantastically flamboyant images of female figures and nature speak for themselves.

Georges Hugnet was a multifaceted French artist, renowned for his contributions as a graphic artist, poet, writer, art historian, bookbinding designer, critic, and film director. He was an active participant in both the Dada and Surrealist movements, leaving a mark on 20th-century art.
Hugnet used the automatic technique of decalcomania, both on the endpapers of books and as an artistic practice in its own right. His diverse body of work continues to be studied and celebrated for its contribution to modern art and literature.

William Kentridge's "Quintet" sculpture, inspired by Dmitri Shostakovich beautifully intertwines art and music. The sculpture features five figures with exaggerated and stylized forms that convey movement and rhythm.

They capture the essence of Shostakovich's work, its emotional depth and complexity, inviting viewers to engage not just with the visual but also the auditory world of the music. The dynamic poses of the figures suggest they are in mid-performance, mirroring the tension and release found in compositions.
