Nicole Joye: Scènes de l’Inattendu at ZET Galeria

Nicole Joye, a Tunisian-French artist born in 1957, presents three series of works rooted in her photographic series *Scènes de l’inattendu* at ZET Galeria de Arte in Lisbon. Her practice bridges photography and painting, with each piece emerging from the interplay between the painter’s gesture and the camera lens. The exhibition features photographs, abstract paintings, and painted-over photographs, where Joye explores the possibilities of color and form as they intertwine and overlap.

Visitors can expect a contemplative experience as they move through the gallery space, observing how Joye layers visual elements to create unexpected compositions. The works invite close looking, revealing the artist’s process of building and merging shapes across different media. The exhibition runs from early June through early September, offering a summer-long opportunity to engage with contemporary art in the heart of Lisbon’s historic Baixa district.
