Exhibitions

On one side, the paint gathers, raw, colour pulled straight from the knife. On the other, the grain of the flash fixes naked bodies in a black and white that forgives nothing. Two materials, two speeds, two ways of saying the same thing: animality, the wild and the raw in human beings.

The works advance towards one another and, at the centre, they bite. Out of this collision comes the crocodile: the only large predator to have crossed the ages without changing shape, it embodies a permanence our era, given over entirely to speed and obsolescence, has lost.

CROCO does not set two worlds side by side: it fuses them into a single organism, tender and ferocious at once, where eroticism returns to instinct and colour becomes wound again.

Works are available for purchase ahead of the opening. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis and confirmed in writing.

A boutique fair of around thirty galleries in the Belle Époque theatre hall of the Hotel Reine Victoria. The collaborative CROCO works, photographs on brushed aluminium worked over in oil, were hung with Tiphaine Koltes’s paintings in the space supported by F.P.Journe.

The first stop of the CROCO works in 2026. Collaborative pieces by Tiphaine Koltes and Jeremy Spierer were shown alongside her paintings on the stand of F.P.Journe, partner of the MAZE fairs, in the festival tent at the heart of Gstaad.
