Peggy Franck (NL, 1978) works across painting, photography, and installation, exploring how gesture, light, and space can be folded into one another. Her large -format C-prints occupy a distinctive position between painting, photography, and installation. Produced from her own painterly interventions, they are not simply documents but independent works that layer gesture, light, and space into new compositions. Her work stems from a basic desire to make something visible from her inner world in dialogue with the world outside. She seeks directness and freedom in the working process, following impulses towards a moment where chaos and lightness persist, yet a fragile balance emerges. In this way, the photographs embody both act and space, capturing beauty in ambivalence and the energy of becoming.

Franck also presents a new series that continues her exploration of painting’s expanded field through found book pages sourced from architectural and interior design volumes. Over these printed surfaces, her fluid, intuitive brushstrokes move between concealment and revelation, transforming fragments of
the everyday into luminous, layered compositions. Each work becomes a site of encounter between image and material, the given and the improvised, affirming painting as an ever-expanding conversation between matter, light, and time.
