This year we will focus on what's happening at the Gallery, offering a look back at our recent, current and upcoming exhibitions.

'Crossed Geometries III', the final installment of our trilogy dedicated to our contemporary artists, will allow you to find on the stand some works from this exhibition, notably those of Charles Bézie, Jean-Gabriel Coignet, Jean-Michel Gasquet, Yves Popet, or André Stempfel.

'Georges Folmer, an abstraction 1950-70', our current exhibition, has provided an opportunity to rediscover his work with the publication of a monograph written by Lydia Harambourg by El Viso Editions. A section of the stand will be dedicated to this exhibition.

Finally, we will organize a face-to-face display of the works of Auguste Herbin (1882-1960) and Jean-François Dubreuil on our stand, announcing a Jean-François Dubreuil exhibition at the gallery in May, on the occasion of the release of a monograph of the artist by Editions du Regard, accompanied by a text by Jean-Marc Huitorel, art critic and exhibition curator.

Jean-François Dubreuil, born in Tours in 1946, is one of the artists who have built the contemporary image of the Gallery. He develops his paintings from existing structures, offered by daily or weekly newspapers, with his own way of assigning colors, notably red for advertising and black for photos.

Auguste Herbin, one of the gallery's leading artists, creator of a system based on geometric shapes and colors—what he calls his "plastic alphabet"—often helps decipher the titles he gave to his works. Jean-François Dubreuil encountered Auguste Herbin's work in 1975; this discovery reinforced his idea of ​​producing paintings based on a pre-defined system.

His taste for geometric abstraction and his affinity for the graphic and pictorial treatment of writing led him to bring together, around a cooperative gallery, 'La galerie 30', a fairly large group of colleagues who exhibited in his apartment during the 1970s and 80s. It was towards the end of the 1980s that we met Jean-François Dubreuil, who then introduced us to several of his colleagues and friends, such as Charles Bézie and Henri Prosi. In 2016, at one of the Art Paris sessions, he received the Aurélie Nemours Prize for his lifetime achievement.
