In November 2021, as part of the joint events occurring for Art Carouge, Salon Vert will host an exhibition of work by the Genevan painter Xavier Cardinaux entitled “Jardins” (Gardens). The exhibition will present recent work including a series of large oil paintings on canvas as well as several drawings done in pencil on paper.

All of his paintings involve or simply evoke landscapes, expanses of greenery, sometimes so abstract they become delicate patterns. In his own words, “The soul is a garden and my project as a painter takes place in that garden, with nature – my own and chaos – as the materials, with cultures and styles as the soil. The process is more important than the goal but being aware of the joy of touch remains essential, because I work freely, without real “utility”, any specific shape or trendy concept as such eliminated.”
