Summer Salon d'Art

Collective Summer Exhibition

26 June - 5 September 2025

Summer Salon d’Art takes inspiration from one of the most influential traditions in art history: the Paris Salon. Founded in the 17th century by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the Salon became the central stage for artists in France, known for its famously dense, floor-to-ceiling displays and open invitation to both academic and independent voices. It was not only a public celebration of art but a site of debate, discovery, and evolution.

Building on that legacy, Summer Salon d’Art also draws from the Royal Academy of Arts’ annual Summer Exhibition in London, a contemporary continuation of the salon spirit. Democratic in its selection and vibrant in its presentation, it offers a space where emerging and established talents exhibit side by side.

At Galerie Renaissance, we present our own version of this tradition. A contemporary twist on the salon format, showcasing 27 artists from Geneva, across Switzerland, and beyond. With a diverse and energetic array of paintings, drawings, and prints, this exhibition juxtaposes classical forms with contemporary expressions, creating a lively dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation.

But Summer Salon d’Art is more than a curatorial homage. In a time when geopolitical divides, cultural polarization, and global uncertainty continue to shape our reality, this exhibition offers a counterpoint. It is a celebration of unity through creativity. A gathering of artistic voices that demonstrates how we can live, think, and create alongside one another, in difference and in harmony.

Let this show be a reminder that art transcends borders. And in its shared language, we find connection. Here, in this salon of our time, we invite you to engage with a community of creators and explore the richness of contemporary expression, together.

Invisible Resonance

Eilena Braye

30 April - 6 June 2025

In Invisible Resonances, Eilena Braye delves into the intricate, unseen symphony that animates human life. Each work reflects the silent dialogues happening at the cellular level—biochemical signals that direct survival, adaptation, and movement—mirroring the human patterns of gestures, glances, and unspoken bonds.

Drawing inspiration from biology and everyday interaction, Braye’s process is a conversation between intuition and experimentation. Beginning with a scientific observation, she allows spontaneity to guide the development of each piece, layering colours and textures in a dance between control and discovery. The result is a collection that captures the profound interconnectedness of life, where science and art merge to reveal the invisible.

Invisible Resonances invites viewers to pause and reflect on the quiet forces that shape who we are, offering a visual meditation on the nature of connection, both universal and deeply personal.
