Galerie Eric Mouchet

Contemporary and modern art gallery in Paris and Brussels, representing artists with forward-thinking and singular practices.

La Galerie Éric Mouchet représente essentiellement de jeunes artistes contemporains aux démarches prospectives, dont les sujets de recherche portent sur la géopolitique, la sociologie, l’écologie, les questions de société et de genre, sans limitation de média ou de forme (performance, installation, vidéo, photographie, dessin). La Galerie Éric Mouchet bénéficie également d’une expertise dans les a

vant-gardes historiques françaises et allemandes (Le Corbusier, Schwitters, Ella Bergmann-Michel et Robert Michel…), qui offre la possibilité de confrontations et d’interconnexions entre l’art du XXème siècle et l’art vivant d’aujourd’hui. Depuis 2022, la galerie a ouvert un nouvel espace à Bruxelles, en partenariat avec la Galerie Martin Kudlek (Cologne) et Patrick Heide Contemporary Art (Londres). Située avenue Van Volxem 333 à Forest, face au centre d’art contemporain WIELS et contiguë du Galila’s POC, espace de la collectionneuse Galila Barzilai Hollander, cette maison vernaculaire 1900 de 400 m2 offre trois étages d’expositions et un jardin qui accueillera la programmation belge des trois galeries associées.

[Brunch & guided tours - Volxem 2026] Volxem is back for a fourth edition! 💚
Join us on Saturday 6 June for brunch and guided tours — the perfect opportunity to discover our current exhibitions by Samir Mougas ( ) and Alexander Gorlizki — alongside 13 other art spaces for a day of exhibitions, performances, workshops, and guided walks through the Volxem neighbourhood.

➞ Brunch from 11 am to 4 pm
➞ Guided tours at 1 pm & 4 pm

Galerie Eric Mouchet is pleased to present the very first solo exhibition of French artist Samir Mougas in its Brussels space. Entitled ‘Hard Edge, Soft Core’, the exhibition brings together sculptures, ceramics and paintings, and marks a significant milestone in the artist’s career: it is the first time these different practices are shown simultaneously, revealing in full the coherence of a visual language that is both rich and singular.

‘There’s Never Nothing Happening Here’ introduces British artist Alexander Gorlizki to Brussels audiences in his first solo show at the gallery. Alexander Gorlizki’s paintings are the fruit of a fertile imagination shaped by his deep engagement with both Indian and Western iconography. His works — at once absurd and fascinating — draw on references as varied as embroidery and the art of topiary, the textile patterns of South-East Asia, the great masters of 20th-century photography, Victorian tool catalogues, and the pictorial tradition of the Indian miniature.

[On view - Artist Focus] Samir Mougas () and Galerie Eric Mouchet are delighted to present ‘Hard Edge, Soft Core’, his first solo exhibition at the gallery in Brussels until July 18, 2026.

➞ Brunch & guided tours: Saturday 6 June from 11 am to 6 pm

Samir Mougas (1980) lives and works in Paris, France. His sculptural practice explores a wide range of aesthetic experiments that oscillate between the use of invented forms and the use of borrowed forms. By appropriating a broad vocabulary that draws as much from biodiversity as from the visual arts or design, his works are conceived within a paradox: thwarting immediate visual appeal to open up a wide range of interpretive possibilities.

Samir Mougas uses assemblage, casting, modeling, resin, ceramics, paint, lacquered cast aluminum, and even automotive paint as tools for formal experimentation open to serendipity—all of which serve as pretexts for the artisanal, non-specialist creation of his works. His explorations blend forms and references that draw on mass cultural phenomena as much as specific technical objects, infusing his exhibitions with vitality.

His work has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions, including at the Nîmes Contemporary Art Center (2023), the La Chapelle des Calvairiennes Contemporary Art Center (2018), Dream Community (Taipei), Les Bains-Douches Contemporary Art Center (2013), the Centre Pompidou-Metz (2011), and 40mcube (2009); and group exhibitions such as the Visual Arts Center in Austin (2022), the Frac Normandie Caen (2021), the Villa Datris Foundation (2020), the FRAC Bretagne (Rennes, 2020), the Consello da Cultura Galega (Santiago de Compostela, 2019), La Criée (Rennes, 2018), the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Brussels, 2018), Printemps de Septembre (2018), Glassbox (2017), ZQM (Berlin, 2017), the Palais de Tokyo (2016), Confort Moderne (Poitiers, 2016), and the Saint-Étienne International Design Biennial (2015).

[Save the date] ‘Hard Edge, Soft Core’ - a new solo show by French artist Samir Mougas () • Galerie Eric Mouchet, Brussels

➞ Opening: Thursday 28 May from 3 to 9 pm
➞ Brunch & guided tours: Saturday 6 June from 11 am to 4 pm ( with )

Galerie Eric Mouchet is pleased to present the very first solo exhibition of French artist Samir Mougas in its Brussels space. Entitled ‘Hard Edge, Soft Core’, the exhibition brings together sculptures, ceramics and paintings, and marks a significant milestone in the artist’s career: it is the first time these different practices are shown simultaneously, revealing in full the coherence of a visual language that is both rich and singular.

Born in 1980, Samir Mougas has spent over twenty years developing a sculptural practice driven by an insatiable curiosity for everyday objects and technological imaginaries. His work draws from a deliberately eclectic visual repertoire — electronic music, science fiction, car tuning, industrial design — to produce works that resist easy categorisation. Each series reflects a constant appetite for shifting techniques and registers, from industrial foundry to glazed ceramics, from moulding to acrylic painting, resin and AI-assisted image generation.

[Meet the curator] Last days to (re)discover ‘Ham Sāya Kouh Hā (On the Mountain Side, in the Shadow)’ curated by Emile Drousie () at Galerie Eric Mouchet Brussels.

➞ Av. van Volxem 333, 1190 Forest (Brussels)
➞ Friday 15 and Saturday 16 May, from 11am to 7pm.

Émile Drousie (born in 1997; lives and works in Paris) is an independent curator who focuses on mediating contemporary art scenes from Central and South Asia and their diasporas. He is particularly attuned to the intimate nature of subversion, the interplay between power and the everyday life, personal and domestic geographies, as well as the poetics of the political. He pays close attention to the circulation of artworks and the concepts they convey through their transnational translations. A graduate of Sciences Po, Paris, he also studied Persian at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO), Paris. ‘Ham Sāya Kouh Hā’ is his first curatorial project and the result of a long-term research. He wishes to thank Galerie Eric Mouchet as well as all the artists, art professionals, and researchers he has collaborated with over the years for their trust and their essential contributions to the realization of this exhibition.

[Fair — Paper Positions Berlin] Trio show by Ella Bergmann-Michel, Christine Crozat (), and Kubra Kahdemi (.khademi) — Booth 55 • From April 30 to May 3, 2026

Galerie Eric Mouchet is thrilled to announce its first participation at Paper Positions Berlin (). To mark the 10th anniversary of the Berlin art fair, we are showcasing three female artists who each work, or have worked, with the medium of paper in a distinctive way.

Ella Bergmann-Michel (1895–1971) developed her personal style in a very short time and moved with her art through the realms of Dada, Constructivism and Purism. Over a period of 50 years, she left behind a wonderful body of work on paper.

Christine Crozat (b. 1952) is a Franco-Swiss artist. A central element of her work is drawing, often on tracing paper (calque), which she regards as a ‘place of transition’ between sketch and completion. She works with a scalpel to cut out shapes and isolate details, which she removes from their original context to give them a new poetic meaning.

Kubra Kahdemi (b. 1989) is a Hazara artist from Afghanistan. Due to her Persian roots, she very often works in gouache, sometimes using gold leaf, and almost always on paper. In her series, the artist once again highlights the inequality of opportunity between women and men in patriarchal societies. In her mother country, a rigidly patriarchal society applies religious laws and social taboos accusing women of crimes such as cheating, falling in love with a man who is not their assigned man, or simply for the free expression of their femininity.

[On view - Paris] ‘Printemps Paramétrique’ by Pierre Gaignard () • Galerie Eric Mouchet, Paris

➞ Until June 13, 2026

‘All of Pierre Gaignard’s work explores the relationship between past and present through systems that blend craftsmanship, mechanical devices, and digital tools. Using artificial intelligence, he deconstructs and recomposes hidden forms, which he then reveals through light, sound, or matter — engaging both his own body and that of the viewer in the process. The titles of his works also play a fundamental role. They emerge from a rhythmic intuition, a musicality intrinsic to language. In Griza:j Hypermat’, the title’s pulse is defined by its phonetics; in latent_breath_(), the punctuation is inspired by Python code, symbolically marking the beginning of a new creative cycle. For him, language is a territory of experimentation — one whose evolution, syntax, and punctuation he probes and diverts until they acquire a plastic and sonic dimension.

In Griza:j Hypermat’, the artist draws inspiration from lithophany, a nineteenth-century technique consisting in molding images in translucent porcelain, visible only when backlit. Pierre Gaignard offers a contemporary reinterpretation through 3D printing, transforming industrial neon covers into sculpted surfaces. Between disappearance and persistence, the hybrid images he creates — derived from AI-generated models of historical botanical forms — evoke grotesque decorations, a theme I have also had the pleasure of exploring alongside him. These images, at once fragile and powerful, become figures of knowledge — dialectical images in the Benjaminian sense — capturing the tension between past and present, between memory and invention, where a single detail suddenly illuminates a new reading of reality.’ Isabella Vitale ()

[Focus - Art Brussels] Last day to visit Booth 5B-41 with a solo show by Belgian artist Eva L’Hoest (), from 11 am to 6 pm ()

‘Palmless Manœuvres’ begins with an almost imperceptible shift: the moment when human agency begins to delegate not only gesture, but meaning itself, to the machine. A tipping point that does not manifest as rupture, but as a slow, almost eventless dispossession - a fatigue of attention, a silent redistribution of roles between bodies and the systems that surround them. Gesture does not disappear; it migrates into computational devices that precede and accompany us […]

Between palma (the palm, once a sign of destiny) and manœuvre (the operative hand), the exhibition traces a transformation: what orients us is no longer read in the lines of the skin, but in the opaque strata of calculation. In these computational spaces where gesture tends to dissolve, Eva L’Hoest’s work operates from within, engaging the intimacy of matter: melting, sculpting, transmuting—forming a body where something begins to slip away.
