What do you see? by Juliette Lepage Boisdron

Juliette’s ink drawings on rice paper introduce a lyrical and mythical dimension to the exhibition. Her figures - at once women and goddesses - emerge from the delicate grain of the paper like apparitions. They carry with them an ancestral weight, rendered with a hand so light it threatens to dissolve. There’s a ceremonial quality to her work: devotional, but never dogmatic. Her choice of medium reinforces the exhibition’s embrace of the fragile, the impermanent, and the poetic. Each piece is a breath held between past and present, body and spirit. 

Juliette Lepage Boisdron (b. 1971, Paris) is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, and art jewelry. Her poetic and culturally rich practice is deeply informed by a nomadic life spanning North China, the U.S.S.R., the Arab Emirates, sub-Saharan Africa, India, Portugal, and Singapore.

With a Master’s degree in Art History from Sorbonne University, Juliette has worked as a gallery director, artist agent, and contributor to the Fondation Cartier. She trained in traditional jewelry-making in Lisbon and studied Chinese painting at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore.

Now based between Basel, Paris, and Lisbon, Juliette is a member of DOCK Basel, VISARTE, SGBK, Le Cercle de l’Art (Paris), and Klimt02. Her work has been widely exhibited in Europe, America, and Asia, and is represented by galleries in Basel and the U.S. Her pieces are held in private collections worldwide.

This artwork was part of SMALL DISTURBANCES exhibition in June 2025. 

What is it that unsettles us, not with a crash but with a murmur? What do we overlook that, once seen, cannot be unseen? The show is less about grand gestures and more about the gravitational pull of the unnoticed - the broken thread, the flawed line, the offbeat rhythm that exposes a deeper pattern beneath.

This show embodies the idea that change rarely arrives as thunder - it begins with a quiet shift in the air, a subtle redirection of focus. The artists in this exhibition do not shout. They nudge, whisper, tease, and provoke. They understand that the small is never just small. It is the seed of something much larger.
