Galerie Alberta Pane is pleased to present Geometric secrets, a solo exhibition by the Italian-Austrian artist Esther Stocker, across its two Paris spaces from 29 May to 25 July 2026.

An internationally renowned artist, she has exhibited her work in major museums, galleries, and foundations, and has collaborated on several occasions with the worlds of fashion and design, extending her artistic practice across numerous media and fields of expression. The visual language she has developed is grounded in rigorous geometric structures that unfold through painting, sculpture, and installation— mediums that are deeply interconnected. Her installations function as three-dimensional projections of her paintings, conceived exclusively in black, grey, and white.

Heir to Geometric Abstraction, the Gruppo T, and the Op Art movement of the 1960s, Esther Stocker continues to explore optical vision and spatial perception through a contemporary and socially engaged approach influenced by new technologies.

At first glance, her works appear to embody a stable, almost relentless order. They are organized according to precise systems built from endlessly repeating modules that establish an apparently regular visual rhythm. Yet this order is never fixed. Subtle shifts, discreet ruptures, and anomalies disturb the composition and alter its reading.

As in sixteenth-century Mannerist architecture, the intrusion of accident into optical balance creates surprise and emotion, disrupting both order and flatness. By introducing imperfection into the heart of ordered constructions, the artist plays with the mechanisms of perception and reveals the fragility of the frameworks we consider stable.

For this exhibition, Esther Stocker presents new paintings and sculptures in which geometry becomes the very principle of a visual language capable of simultaneously structuring and destabilizing perception.
