Galerie C
Mathieu Dufois , France
"Là où repose la lumière flottent les cendres"
Mathieu Dufois, Lambeaux, Dessin à la pierre noire, 42 x 76 cm, Pièce unique, 2024
Mathieu Dufois remains faithful to his theme, questioning the image and its interaction with a fragmentary, imprecise memory, where fiction fills the gaps. His interest in the off-screen and concealed elements leads him to explore blind spots and project their shadows onto the visible. His work navigates between temporalities and dimensions, revealing a floating (in)consciousness of memory. Drawing on an imaginary world nourished by collective and individual references, he restores, through fragments and plays of light, an action emerging from the shadows. This ever-changing approach to drawing transcends traditional categories and techniques to acquire a protean quality.
Solo show of Mathieu Dufois
From May 3rd to June 19th, 2025
The gallery
Galerie C is an independent contemporary art space in Neuchâtel (Switzerland), founded in 2011 by Christian Egger.
Galerie C advocates a humanistic and generous vision of art. It aspires to sincere exchanges with its audience and commits to its artists by closely collaborating with them — through off-site exhibitions, publications, or by accompanying them in institutional exhibitions. Galerie C celebrates encounters and dialogues through a variety of mediums and risks-taking, presenting authentic and singular universes established through approaches that it deems fundamentally essential. Manifest realities, dreamy lucidities, and visionary gazes unite to move the seasons and the spirit of Galerie C.
Nine years after its creation in Neuchâtel (Switzerland), Galerie C opened a second exhibition space in September 2020. Located in Paris, in the heart of the Marais district, and conceived in continuity with its large Swiss space (approximately 400m2 of exhibition space), this smaller-scale branch is envisioned as a project space. It represents, for the gallery team, a new way of presenting its artists, but also of curating exhibitions that resonate with the events of the Swiss space, contemporary art fairs, and institutional exhibitions of the represented artists.
The spaces of the Parisian gallery also allow for a dual program: exhibitions in Neuchâtel and Paris regularly resonate with each other. As an emissary of the historic gallery, this Parisian branch is, above all, a way to offer visibility to the artists of Galerie C within an internationally recognized art ecosystem.
