Kicking Off the New Cultural Season, Perrotin Presents Three Exhibitions
Perrotin’s new season promises to be as busy as it is exceptional, with three solo exhibitions by Koak, Nick Goss and Katherina Olschbaur.
American artist Koak presents her first major exhibition in Europe. Named Lake Margrethe, after a lake in Michigan, the artist has brought together her most intimate works, in which she evokes family ties and precious, nostalgic childhood memories. The characters, often feminine ones, captivate with their striking expressiveness and these infinite lines that skillfully and elegantly connect intimacy and universality. Koak’s art, with its bewitching arabesques and vivid colors, is vibrant, intense and striking.
Nick Goss, on the other hand, has a very different style, with darker themes and more washed-out colors. It’s a different, yet equally fascinating intimacy that we discover in the British artist’s landscapes. The exhibition follows a genealogical guideline on the theme of insularity, at the crossroads of inspirations, incessant artistic references and the multiple mediums that Goss delights in mixing.
But color is back in the spotlight with Sweet Expulsion by Katherina Olschbaur, the artist’s second exhibition with the gallery. Inspired by mythology, each painting seems to tell a story, or several, in a mix of vivid, contrasting colors, allegorical figures and abstract settings.
During the joint preview of these three remarkable exhibitions and the fabulous cocktail party imagined by Chef Guillaume Sanchez, in partnership with The Steidz and Perrier-Jouët, we met José Levy, Leanne Sacramone and Patrick Jouin, Laurent Grasso, Mathilde Denize, Olivia Voisin, Jean-Michel Crovesi and Pierre Lungheretti, Elsa Janssen, Solenne Blanc, Agathe Rousselle, Sarah Andelman, Thais Klapish, Jonathan Lambert, Xavier Veilhan, Bérengère Kriev, Claudine Colin, Catherine Baba.
