Beyond Appearances - Portrait and Gestures in Infinity
This solo exhibition by Frédérique Samama invites the viewer to explore the depth of the human soul through a series of captivating portraits. Each work reveals much more than the surface of faces: it captures fragments of stories, experiences and universal emotions. Frédérique Samama focuses on the expressive details of looks, hands and mouths, revealing the moments of fragility, strength and introspection that define our humanity. These details, meticulously drawn in black chalk, stand out against painted backgrounds, evoking the passage of time and memory.
The exhibition transcends simple physical representation and highlights the invisible: the relationship between what we show and what we hide. The viewer is invited to delve into this duality, to let themselves be carried away by the stories that emerge from anonymous yet familiar faces. Far from conventions, Samama's portraits become mirrors, referring us to our own quest for identity and meaning in a constantly changing world.
An intimate and introspective journey, Beyond Appearances is an invitation to go beyond first glances to discover the depth of being.
