Île/Mer/Froid is the collaborative artistic practice that Boris Geoffroy (born 1987, lives in Marseille, works in Salmiech, Aveyron) and Hugo Lemaire (born 1988, lives in Paris, works in Salmiech, Aveyron) have been engaged in since 2014, centered on a collective approach and the ecology of work.

Since 2021, the duo has been dedicated to working with ceramics, exploring the material’s expressive possibilities and the political implications of an artistic practice rooted in a millennia-old artisanal tradition.

The three artists featured in this exhibition express themselves through gestures and forms that, without any contradiction, play on both fluidity and rigor. From curved lines to straight lines, their visual languages convey confident gestures and sensations that are at times contrasting.
