Jean-Marie Fahy
(Irish-Swiss-Brazilian, b. 1992. Lives and works in Geneva)
Fahy's works evoke a subtle, introspective tension, exploring the vulnerabilities of identity and the silent pressures beneath daily life. Using soft, tactile materials like colored pencil on wood and fine textile work, Fahy renders bodily surfaces, landscapes, and fragments with a delicate intimacy. His gentle layering of color and form blurs the line between reality and imagination, inviting viewers to linger in spaces marked by ambiguity, desire, and emancipation. Fahy's practice reveals the quiet resistance hidden in moments of fragility and transformation.
