Fernando Cometto and Marie-Pierre Pfenniger

The Mines of Art Gallery presented a colourful pair of artists in a unique exhibition:
Fernando Cometto and Marie-Pierre Pfenniger.

Fernando Cometto, Dia de campo

Fernando Cometto, Dia de campo

Of Argentinian origin, FERNANDO COMETTO uses colour and an illusive approach to his work. Naive, you say? How do you put a label on art that is so compact, one that evokes thoughts of Paul Klee and Antonio Ségui? Yet there is a certain kind of reverie in his work that finds a dreamlike resonance with the human soul. It is innocent, often tormented, and connects with our inner child. Through a journey of self discovery, Fernando Cometto brings us a painting that bridges the gap between his different I’s: these parts of himself scattered across Latin America, Spain, and France.

Responding to the imagination of the painter, the ceramist MARIE-PIERRE PFENNIGER, graduate of the School of Applied Arts in Vevey, exhibits her small world between the gallery walls. Clothed in black and white, she presents a small, lustrous city: houses and towers become stems for faience goblets, reminiscent of the terrestrial sphere. Their stretched out shape and graphic aspect give them the air of a child’s drawing. Cities and villages upside-down, everything appears in disorder while being perfectly in place.
