JD Malat Gallery Dubai is presenting The Unsaid Remains Remembered, the debut solo exhibition in the Middle East by Paris-based artist Sophie-Yen Bretez. The show introduces a bold new body of work that blends poetic themes of memory, silence and transformation with striking large-scale canvases.
Bretez has attracted attention in Europe for her emotionally charged style, combining surrealist figuration with narrative depth. For her Dubai debut, she shifts her practice into new territory, moving beyond the human figure to focus on landscapes, domestic objects and natural motifs. Windows, tables, clocks and fruit appear as symbolic thresholds, each holding layers of memory and experience.
