TOUS LÉGER!
Luxembourg Museum, Paris
March 19 - July 20, 2025
Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between two major collections from the Côte d'Azur, the works of Niki de Saint Phalle, Arman, Yves Klein, Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse, and even César come to meet the plastic innovations of Fernand Léger, one of the pioneers of the avant-garde in the 20th century.
​
Alongside these main representatives of New Realism, works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein or later Keith Haring illustrate the artistic exchanges that existed very early between European creation and the American scene.
​
The exhibition, composed of nearly 100 works, addresses, in a playful and creative way, different thematic axes: the diversion of the object, the representation of the body and leisure, or the place of art in public space.

MUSEO IMMAGINARIO
SPARC, Spazio Arte Contemporanea
October 21 - December 01, 2023
Brigitte Aubignac’s exhibition "Museo Immaginario" stands as a firm declaration of intent that the museum is either imaginary or it is not, to the detriment of the traditional concept of the museum space, perhaps now outdated, which wants it to be a static entity. The exhibition presents around thirty works, including gouaches on paper and works on canvas, which showcase accumulations of sculptures from all styles and eras. In these apparent museum storerooms are placed works of the most disparate kinds, shrouded in dark atmospheres and lit by dim window lights. One of these figures, in particular, seems to establish a dialogue with the viewer: the dancer by Degas, sometimes portrayed in an eccentric profile position, others from behind, seems to be inseparably connected to Aubignac, an alter ego that allows her to contemplate this miscellaneous surreal world, prompting her to question herself about art’s capacity to reinvent itself.

September 20, 2022
Valentin Pavageau is a French digital artist born in 1990, currently based in Brussels. His work draws from both the fields of collage and illustration, focusing on psychedelic and surreal sceneries where the cut-out protagonists are often outscaled by their surroundings. His pieces are either painted with vivid color schemes, rich gradients, or hypnotic black and white patterns, using minimalist compositions to accentuate the strength of the depicted scenes.

The portrait is an artistic genre with ancient origins, essential in painting because of its rich history, and commemorative purpose. Visited and then revisited, the portrait genre is symptomatic of the aesthetic thought of an era and evolves during the various pictorial movements.
During the high peak of artistic creation, the Italian Renaissance. Many portraits focused on the desire to capture a person’s likeness so he or she could seem present even in absence. But likeness and evident artistic mediation are not mutually exclusive. Stylized portraits like those by Bronzino were also praised for being lifelike. Indeed, portraiture without art, without the intercession of style and adherence to beauty ideals, has been viewed since antiquity as a lesser achievement. While Vasari lauded Anguissola for being able to both imitate and invent, Michelangelo’s artistic invention prevailed; when critics recognized that Michelangelo’s sculptures of the Medici were not faithful to their models, the artist reportedly declared that in a century no one would remember that they looked any different.
Then, in a world dominated by digital images and the mass media, how does our psychology combine with the social functions of portraits? Perhaps because the portrait not only refers to the other but, above all, to ourselves. In its global use, the portrait reminds us of our own image and our personal issues intimately and realistically.
Through the portrait, the artists in this exhibition question our relationship to the body and to the notion of identity in a complex socio-cultural context that redefines the borders of art expression.
