Art at SUMERSON

Throughout the year, our Paris office at 22 rue de la Paix opens its walls to contemporary artists. Each exhibition is an invitation to look differently, a value we share with the artists we host.

From Chaos to Light

Nour Aouissaoui

Painter & Architect — Paris

The Exhibition

From Chaos to Light brings together paintings from Nour Aouissaoui's 2025–2026 series. Built up through successive layers of paint, gesture, texture and erasure, each canvas starts from chaos, not as disorder to be eliminated but as a state of possibility, and lets light emerge as a sign of renewal.

The series explores transformation and resilience: what remains, what disappears, and what can emerge from disorder.

The Artist

Nour Aouissaoui is a Tunisian contemporary artist and architect based in Paris. Born in Oman and raised between Oman and Dubai, she has also lived in Mauritius and Sicily, a journey across the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean that has shaped her sensitivity to landscape, architecture, materiality and light.

Trained as an architect, she is completing a PhD in Architecture at Paris-Malaquais on the poetic and sensory dimensions of space. Her paintings emerge from an architecturally informed process of layering, accumulation, erasure and transformation, where matter becomes memory and colour becomes emotion.

Past Exhibitions

Abstraction 1, photograph by Claude Duboille

3 July – 25 October 2026

Impressions picturales

Claude Duboille

Photographer — Montpellier

The Exhibition

Reflections of trees in a pond, lichen on stone, a beach at low tide under the setting sun, the vineyards of Occitanie in autumn. Claude Duboille photographs what we pass by without stopping, and searches each image for the moment when photography comes close to painting.

Twenty-three prints were hung in the corridors, lounge, meeting room and offices of our Paris office. Proceeds from the sales went to IFIS (Institut Français d'Information sur la Santé).

The Artist

Claude Duboille lives and works in Montpellier. Photography has been a lifelong passion, practised freely, outside of any commission.

In the 1980s, Claude Duboille set up a small darkroom to develop and enlarge black-and-white silver prints. A love of painting and regular visits to the Rencontres d'Arles shaped this eye; the arrival of digital photography opened the way to colour, now at the heart of the work.

The series explore the abstractions that nature composes on its own: shifting reflections on water, mineral textures, lines and vibrations of light. Landscapes of the Occitanie coast and vineyards, skies and passers-by complete this research. Exhibited since 2015 in Occitanie and Picardy, including a solo show at the Abbey of Caunes-Minervois in 2024.
