Meet the Artists
Saturday, 19 December 2026, 2–5 pm
An opportunity to discover more about the exhibited works and their creation.
Le Salon Vert is delighted to welcome Irene Venetsanou and Chloé Lamy with their joint exhibition PASSAGE. The two artists presented their exhibition proposal as part of our initiative to open the gallery periodically to independent creative projects and exhibitions. Their works will now be on view during the festive season and across the turn of the year. Irene Venetsanou creates ceramic sculptures whose organic forms are inspired by nature. Chloé Lamy produces delicate thread collages on paper. Both artists work with materials they transform and reassemble, allowing room for the unexpected. PASSAGE explores transformation and transitions, the movement from one state to another. The artists’ works enter into dialogue, revealing unexpected connections and evoking vulnerability, resilience and the invisible threads that bind us together. The exhibition takes place at a time of reflection and new beginnings. During the Advent season, Chloé Lamy will also offer two workshops, inviting visitors to explore their own creativity.
The Artists
Irene Venetsanou
Born in Athens, Irene Venetsanou lived and worked in London before settling in Geneva.
Her ceramic sculptures are shaped by the organic forms of nature, memories of her origins and impressions gathered during her travels. She is particularly drawn to the irregularities, fractures and transformations inherent in natural forms.
Clay allows her to explore the cycle of creation, destruction and rebirth. In dialogue with the material, her sculptures evolve throughout the creative process. The unexpected and the imperfect are not flaws but essential elements of her artistic practice.
Chloé Lamy
Born in Aubenas, France, Chloé Lamy lives and works in Haute-Savoie. Her background in textile design continues to influence her artistic practice.
Through her thread collages on paper, she explores connections, ruptures and transformation. Threads are cut and reassembled, freed from the constraints of weaving to create delicate, layered compositions in which the fragility of fibers meets the strength of the gesture.
Workshops with Chloé Lamy
As part of the exhibition, Chloé Lamy invites visitors to take part in two different workshops, offering an opportunity to discover her artistic practice and explore their own creativity.
