La peau du regard (skin of sight)
Group exhibition

From July 18 to September 5 , 2026

Galerie Nicolas Robert is pleased to present La peau du regard (Sight of Skin), a group exhibition featuring works by Mel Arsenault, Haley Bassett, Maude Corriveau, Claire Drummond, David Elliott, Andréanne Godin, Samuelle Grande, Tristram Lansdowne, Laurent Le Bel-Roux, Natia Lemay, Jérôme Nadeau, Simon Petepiece, Devon Pryce, Carl Trahan, and Justin Weiler.

Laura U. Marks describes the phenomenon of haptic visuality as one in which "the eyes themselves function like organs of touch." Standing before a work, this can mean feeling cool grass beneath you before you recognize it as a landscape, finding in the curve of a painted arm the touch of a beloved, or sensing the weight of a familiar gesture; a hand moving a brush across canvas, a body taking shape beneath it before you register it as a painting at all. This experience runs through the whole exhibition, where ceramic takes the imprint of bone, beading accumulates labour bead by bead, painting keeps the trace of the hand beneath the finished image, and casting keeps the pressure of a vanished weight.
