Galerie Christophe Gaillard is delighted to welcome Pablo Tomek’s third solo exhibition, featuring a collection of new paintings and sculptures.
«The current exhibition and its title are a three- or even four-stage narrative of an abstract painting that carries within it the possibility of endless contamination. It shows us a number of evolutions - or diversions - that Pablo Tomek has experimented with over the past six months, each of which seems to tell us a great deal about the artist’s way of conceiving and celebrating painting, of systematically making and unmaking it.»
Extract from the essay written for the exhibition by Vittorio Parisi, 2023

Born in 1988 in Paris, France, Tomek embraces the aesthetic features of the urban landscape, highlighting graffiti, spray-paint markings made by public service workers, and the remnants of pasted posters.
Pablo Tomek has previously exhibited internationally, and in 2021, he had a solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France. He is also known for his numerous collaborations with Off-White and Virgil Abloh, invol- ving clothing design and scenography. In the same year, 2021, he gained recognition for his work on the walls of the new Samaritaine department store in Paris. He is participating in both parts of the «La morsure des ter- mites» exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in 2023, curated by Hugo Vitrani.
