Hélène DELPRAT

I HATE MY PAINTINGS [Je déteste mes peintures] 10 Oct 2020 - 9 Jan 2021 Paris / Main space A development seems expected: I hate my paintings because… I hate my paintings therefore… No. I hate my paintings, period.

"(PARENTHESIS); (corner to corner, in place)" 17 Oct - 23 Nov 2019 Paris / Main space, Paris / Front space «A clogged and formal place.

Maryan, Germaine Richier

26 Jan - 23 Feb 2019 Paris / Main space 'Beauty has no other origin than that of a wound, singular, different for each individual, hidden or visible, that everyone keeps within, that we preserve, and to which we withdraw when we want to leave the world for a temporary but profound solitude.

Instead of Pieces, a Play 17 May - 16 Jun 2018 Paris / Main space Rachel de Joode's work revolves around a tension between the flatness of the pixelated screen and the fleshiness of the porous body.

SEKTION 1 Dec 2017 - 13 Jan 2018 Paris / Main space For « SEKTION », his solo show at Galerie Christophe Gaillard, Fabian Knecht chose to gather four gestures.

Dave HARDY

Neck pillow 27 Apr - 3 Jun 2017 Paris / Main space Dave Hardy’s sculptures proceed from the abstract assembly of salvaged industrial materials (polyurethane foam, glass plates, metal bars) and heteroclite objects (pens, modeling clay, pretzels, coconuts…).

Thibault HAZELZET

Mars et la Méduse 18 Mar - 22 Apr 2017 Paris / Main space Thibault Hazelzet has, for a long time, been identified as a photographer. However, his work never seemed to record the world as it appears.

Pierre Yves BOHM

Sur vous, je crache de la peinture 28 Jan - 25 Feb 2017 Paris / Main space Pierre Yves Bohm creates a dialectical dialogue between shape and shapelessness. He juggles violent electric shock and slow, reflective labour. He « spits paint » and « squeezes the image like a lemon » in a burst revealing a vital tension just as much as an unremitting quest. Though not... Read more

Michelle LOPEZ

Chandelier 19 Mar - 7 May 2016 Paris / Main space In his essay on contemporary art, the philosopher Jean-Paul Curnier notes: « The question of freedom in art isn’t asked in formal terms, but rather in terms of complacency and a political alliance, or the lack thereof, to a dominant cultural mode, whichever it may be ». Refusing to comply... Read more

Julien des MONSTIERS

À l'ombre des météorites 9 Jan - 27 Feb 2016 Paris / Main space To take it all. Not leave anything out. To renew one’s spontaneity in the scope of pictural possibilities : classicism, expressionism, figurative, abstract, print painting, bad painting, all-over, matterism.

Territoires de l'Imaginaire 21 Nov - 19 Dec 2015 Paris / Main space What does the eye do when in contact with one of Kassia Knap's canvases ?
