Peaux Fragiles (Fragile Skins) is a collective exhibition at Lee-Bauwens Gallery, Brussels, featuring fourteen artists from seven countries. The exhibition explores artistic practices that use paper as a central material, examining its relationship to ephemerality, traces, and vulnerability. Paper is presented not as a weak material, but as a skin of the world that carries the imprint of gestures and the memory of time, offering a quiet resistance in a world saturated with digital imagery and synthetic materials.
The works in the exhibition investigate themes of what does not last, including organic bodies, precarious architectures, and archives. Artists explore fragility as a condition and a philosophy of artistic gesture, highlighting how the fragile can evoke intimacy, mortality, and the living. Practices range from drawing, collage, and cutting to installation, with artists like Jean-Philippe Roubaud stretching drawing into architecture, Ode Bertrand creating white-on-white paper folds, and Aurélie Nemours presenting early sketches. Other artists, such as Chun Kwang Young, use ancient paper to create aggregations, while Simon Schubert folds paper to reveal architectural interiors, and Sophie Zénon layers historical images onto paper to explore memory.
