Iván Navarro — Where is the Next War?
Closing
Ends in 9 days: April 25 → June 1
Chilean conceptual artist Iván Navarro uses light as his raw material, turning objects into electric sculptures and transforming the exhibition space by means of visual interplay. His work appropriates the icons of modernism as it deplores the risk of formalism that has been emptied of all forms of engagement.

Jan Fabre — Gisants — Hommage à E.C. Crosby et K.Z. Lorenz
Past: February 28 → April 20
Jan Fabre turns his attention to the secular tradition of displaying death. If funerary sculptures invite us to meditate on the vanity of existence, the settings created by the artist question humanity’s ties with nature as well as its own nature.

Philippe Cognée
Past: January 10 → February 23
Philippe Cognée has spent twenty years exploring the possibilities of thinning away the image. He has developed a very specific technique based on a combination of photography and the visual effect created by melting wax painting on canvas. Urban architecture, aerial views, supermarkets are just a few of the themes that capture his imagination.

Past: June 9 → July 21, 2012
After a five-year absence from France, young Berlin-based painter Ulrich Lamsfuss returns to Galerie Daniel Templon with a new series of hyperreal paintings: off-beat and unsettling, they challenge concepts of originality. For this exhibition, the artist has chosen to construct a journey with the portrait as its theme.

Julião Sarmento — Quelques Jeux Interdits
Past: January 7 → February 18, 2012
Julião Sarmento combines fragments of photographs and texts with his graphic images executed in graphite. Human silhouettes, architectural images and words are subjected to the same process of obliteration, effected by means of a cinematographic approach to framing the subjects, an unfinished gesture or a thick layer of acrylic paint that swallows them up.

Chiharu Shiota — Infinity
Past: January 7 → February 18, 2012
Chiharu Shiota combines performance, body art and installations in a process that places the body at the centre of her sculptural work. Her artistic language was influenced by pioneering artists Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Ana Mendieta, both in terms of physical experimentation and the focus on the unconscious, and the choice of delicate materials.

Norbert Bisky — Decompression
Past: November 5 → December 31, 2011
Young German painter Norbert Bisky is unveiling a series of spectacular works for his first show at Galerie Templon. The exhibition features a blend of eroticism and violence. Norbert Bisky’s figurative style of painting, conjuring up the socialist realism he experienced as a child in GDR, is striking in its use of shimmering colours and its apocalyptic visions.

He An
Past: November 5 → December 24, 2011
He An’s neon and LED sculptures are made up of characters stolen from the neon signs that light up his native city of Wuhan. Using these salvaged ideograms, often time — and weather — damaged, the artist recreates the names of people who are dear to him. For example, we see the name of his father and of a Japanese erotic actress.

Gérard Garouste returns to Galerie Templon to show a new collection of his works inspired by Goethe’s Faust. Gérard Garouste has long been fascinated with the influence of Christianity on our culture, and has chosen to explore the myth of Faust as presented by Goethe in 1808: a man arguing with God and the Devil about his fate.

Jan Fabre — Chimères et Portrait d’un artiste en évasion
Past: April 14 → May 21, 2011
Galerie Templon will devote its two spaces to show two artistic projects by Jan Fabre: rue Beaubourg and Impasse Beaubourg. “Jan Fabre is a gangster alchemist who is obsessed by everything that changes. His works always focus on the interaction between (…) the bodily and the spiritual” — Paul Demets.

James Casebere — House
Past: February 26 → April 9, 2011
Peut-être le plus ambitieux projet de James Casebere à ce jour, House est un ensemble de photographies en couleur recréant une banlieue idéale. Cet espace imaginaire est le fruit des impressions de l’artiste liées au Dutchess County aux Etats-Unis. Il a fallu deux années de travail pour achever la maquette gigantesque photographiée en studio…

Oda Jaune — Once in a Blue Moon
Past: November 6 → December 31, 2010
Les tableaux de l’artiste livrent des scènes inquiétantes où se mêlent douceur et violence. Elles témoignent d’une absence totale d’inhibition et réclament du spectateur le même abandon. « Je peux peut-être soulager la peur du spectateur, j’essaie d’extraire ce qui est bon, beau ou même drôle de ces motifs encombrés de peur ».

After the success of his still lifes show last year, the young Berlin-based artist René Wirths returns to the Impasse Beaubourg with a new project that examines lives. Butterflies, portraits, children’s drawings and other symbols of the frailty of existence are all executed in stark profile with an uncanny level of realism.
