Jeanne Fredac | Farben des Angeborenen und Nuancen des Gelernten | Galerie Sievi | 06.09.-25.10.2025

Jeanne Fredac was a French multidisciplinary artist who lived in Berlin since the mid-2000s. Her explorations of architecture, urbanism and the passage of time led her to a comprehensive reflection on our environment. Jeanne Fredac’s art actively addressed contemporary issues and emphasised the urgency of redefining our perception of ourselves and nature. She explored a representation of humans and nature that expressed both their deep connection and their inherent opposition. She wanted to rethink the dynamics between the innate and the learned. It was the constant search for balance and universality that guided her work and imbued her art with an emancipatory social function. These works built a bridge between art and science, between reality and perception, between figuration and abstraction, between nature and culture. In recent years, Jeanne Fredac had participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the European Month of Photography 2014 and 2018 (Berlin, DE), the Biennale de Cachan 2021 (FR), in Prague (CZ) with the NSPU and the Verein Berliner Künstler. She was nominated for the Bridges 2022 Painting Art Prize at the Verein Berliner Künstler gallery (Berlin, Germany). In addition, the artist was awarded a scholarship and three exhibitions (EUNIC, Goethe Institut, Cervantes Institut, Institut français) in Naples (Italy) in 2017.

Jeanne Fredac was born in Tier in 1970 and grew up in Paris, where she studied history, natural sciences and material structure at the Sorbonne University from 1989 to 1992. From 1993 onwards, she worked as an iconographer, designer and film exposure technician for a publishing house. Her path took her via Naples to Berlin. This enabled her to encounter and engage with different media and forms of artistic expression, societies and world views. The artist died in Berlin in August 2025 after a serious illness.
