Alexis Sergent at Appie Gallery

About the exhibition

Alexis Sergent's painting practice focuses on scenes from everyday life and on collective or intimate situations that defy full description. His figurative paintings bring together characters who share a space but remain separated by a glance, a gesture, or a moment of attention. These unresolved relationships create a sense of tension and stillness, leaving the image open.

Visual writing

Alexis Sergent approaches painting as a form of visual writing and works with fragments rather than fixed narratives. Color, surface, composition, and the relationships between the figures become ways to suggest stories without completing them. The exhibition invites visitors to inhabit these scenes, form their own interpretations, and find meaning in the gaps between image and reality.
