Exhibition

The Pop-Up Gallery arrives for the first time at Hybrid Art Fair 2026 as a living bridge between cultures and sensibilities, transforming its space into a stage where painting, sculpture and reflection engage in dialogue without hierarchies. In this edition, we are invited to discover three artists who, through matter and gesture, explore the human condition:

Thierry Berlier has consolidated a language in which oil paint takes on a physical and carnal presence. His works, applied with energy and a palette knife, are populated by candid figures, moons and spirals that emerge from ultramarine blue backgrounds. It is a style of painting that looks us straight in the eye, brimming with vitality and interpretative freedom.

Brazilian ceramicist Gabriela Simionato uses clay as a material of memory and resistance. Inspired by the contrast between the city and the earth, her pieces explore profound social issues, transforming craftsmanship into a powerful discourse on our roots and inequalities.

David Bartlett's work functions as a "Mandala-like vehicle" for contemplative pause. Influenced by humanistic Buddhism and compassion, his abstract painting uses geometry and colour harmony to remind us that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

A project that focuses on the unique dialogue between artwork and viewer, creating a network of artistic exchange that transcends borders.
