Frescoes

August 22 to September 7, 2025

Opening: Friday August 22, 6pm

Fred-André Holzer, a Moutier-born painter who studied with Coghuf and settled in Paris, died in 2017. His wife Suzon was his inspiration throughout his life. She passed away in July 2024. This exhibition is a tribute to a couple who lived for art. Inspired by numerous trips to Italy and work on various buildings, the painter explored the art of fresco. He employed this technique, dating back to antiquity, which involves painting on a plaster of lime and sand that is still damp. As it dries in the air, the color is integrated into the mortar to form a single material. As a support for this process, he mainly used recycled tiles. Fred-André Holzer's main subject was his wife, a dancer, who inspired a study of the body in movement.
