Solo Exhibition – Simon Buret
The Ephemerals
Nil Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Simon Buret on the occasion of Art Brussels 2026.
Entitled The Ephemerals, the exhibition brings together around twenty new works, ranging from large-scale pieces to more intimate formats, created on canvas, cardboard, and paper.
Through this body of work, Simon Buret explores a vision of the living as something that constantly exceeds its own limits. The living may fade or allow itself to be traversed, yet it continuously overflows the contours imposed upon it.
Bodies appear porous, inhabited and shaped by their surroundings. The setting is no longer a backdrop; it breathes with them, flows through their lines, and permeates their silences. The language of line and mark serves as a reminder that we are merely a link — a suspension within an infinite whole.
This line, stretched through ink, acrylic, and oil, connects fragments of a multipolar world, poised between the visible and the invisible. Volume itself becomes a temporary tension in space — a presence, a passage.
Within this shifting material of dream, memory, and spirit, interior and exterior continuously merge. Boundaries dissolve between the material and perceptual worlds. Everything communicates. Everything transforms.
Each being becomes a particle within the living — a drop in an ever-evolving whole.
With The Ephemerals, Simon Buret presents a body of work that is both sensitive and metaphysical, where the fragility of forms reveals the permanence of invisible flows.

Bodies are porous, inhabited by what surrounds them. The setting is no longer a backdrop; it breathes with them, flows through their lines, and permeates their silences. The language of line and mark serves as a reminder that we are merely a link, a suspension point within an infinite whole.
This line, suspended by a thread of ink, acrylic, or oil, connects only fragments of a multipolar world, poised between the visible and the invisible.
A volume is nothing more than a temporary tension in space. A presence, a passage.
Within this shifting material of dream, memory, and spirit, interior and exterior constantly merge.
Boundaries dissolve between the material and the perceptual world.
Everything communicates. Everything transforms.
Each being is but a drop within the ocean of the living.
