The title “IDIOS” refers to the Greek root idios, meaning “one’s own,” “particular,” or “singular.” By choosing this word, the exhibition highlights the affirmation of four strong artistic approaches, each irreducible to the others, while also emphasizing how these singularities interact within the same space.

Each of the artists—Aurélie Gravas, Manon Bara, Xavier Noiret-Thomé, and Joke Hansen—develops a distinct universe, driven by their own unique sensibility, materiality, and vision. Their works, deeply rooted in their individuality, bear witness to this idiosyncratic dimension: a relationship to the body, color, figure, and gesture that can only belong to them.

“IDIOS” thus becomes a guiding thread: not an imposed theme, but an acknowledgment of the inalienable nature of each practice. The exhibition brings these four singular voices together not to unify them, but to amplify their differences. By juxtaposing these contrasting artistic identities, she highlights the richness of their differences, the fruitful tensions that arise between them, and the way in which their visual languages, while remaining autonomous, can nevertheless intersect and illuminate one another.

This title thus invites the public to embrace these works in their radical singularity, to enter into the intimacy of each approach, and, in doing so, to appreciate the power of that which defies all norms: the profoundly personal expression of the act of creation.
