Peter Doig
29 May 2008 through 7 September 2008
Through 7 September 2008 Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris presents a mid-career retrospective of Peter Doig. This major exhibition of paintings and works on paper provides an in-depth exploration of the themes and motifs that have driven Peter Doig's work for over two decades. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring texts by Judith Nesbitt and Dr. Richard Shiff. Organized by Tate, where it originated, the exhibition travels to Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt from 9 October 2008 to 4 January 2009.
Eugène Leroy: Paintings and Drawings
“Creating a figure and imparting life to it…this level of art belongs most properly to painting.” Human form was the inspiration and focus of Eugène Leroy's struggle to reconcile the relationship between image, the materiality of painting, and the potential of light. Emerging bright and luminous from thick layers of paint, sometimes barely discernible amidst the peaks and crevices of color, Leroy’s nudes appear to be sculpted from the paint itself, encapsulating the sensuality of the human.
Whereas the figures in Eugène Leroy’s paintings appear to emerge through thick and luminous layers of paint, the works on paper emit a kind of airy, shimmering light. Outlines blur and blend with one another, drawn lines merging to create a particular atmosphere not unlike that found in the oil paintings—though without the dense and lush surfaces so common in the oils.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue. Please contact the gallery for more information.
