Christian Bonnefoi Solo Exhibition
by Maison Hermès 8th Floor
Location: Maison Hermes 8th Floor
Date: 13 Dec 2013 - 28 Feb 2014

One of representative artists in France, Christian Bonnefoi will hold the solo exhibition. Born in 1948, he started working as an art historian but after seeing the sculpture 'Dos' in 'Henri Matisse' exhibition at Grand Palais, he decided to be the artist. Starting at Centre Georges Pompidou, he has held large scale solo exhibitions in France.

Inspired by material aspect of painting, he uses permeable materials. His work is affected by art movement 'Support / Surface' in 1960s which is dismantling supporter and reorganizing it. This stoic work is also linked to minimalism and he pursues a question for traditional painting in physical and philosophical way.

The exhibition is his first solo one in Japan in small scale retrospective and his representative series of works will be on view.
