J'AI UN TERRIBLE DÉSIR DE PEINDRE, DE PEINDRE, DE PEINDRE
MADELEINE DINÈS 3 Apr - 3 May 2025 From her early teens, Madeleine Dinès (1906-1996) felt a deep desire to paint.

From... Read more -
OMBRES ET LUMIÈRES
MARIE BRACQUEMOND avec une oeuvre de Thu-Van Tran 6 Feb - 8 Mar 2025 Marie Bracquemond (1840-1916) was a French Impressionist painter. Born in Argenton-en-Landunvez, she developed an early interest in art and trained under Ingres, from whom she later moved away, preferring a freer, more intuitive approach. She married the painter and engraver Félix Bracquemond in 1869, whose influence proved ambivalent: while he... Read more -

RÉSURGENCES
JACQUELINE LAMBA | ISABELLE DAËRON 9 Nov - 16 Dec 2023 When I first encountered Jacqueline Lamba's work, I was captivated by the vitality of her drawings, as if the presence of living water in these landscapes transformed the environment. In conversation with Pauline Pavec and Quentin Derouet, I learned that some of the drawings were created not far from Paris,... Read more -
MARCHANDE DE TAPIS
FLORA MOSCOVICI 20 Sep - 15 Oct 2023 I've always felt an uneasy chill when I've heard someone use the expression 'avoir de beaux restes', to refer to a particular person - usually a woman. Often they even added the word 'encore': 'elle a encore de beaux restes'. It gave me the impression of talking about a dish... Read more -
M/M
ROBERT MALAVAL | OLIVIER MOSSET 24 Nov 2022 - 18 Feb 2023 Pauline Pavec gallery has taken up the challenge of bringing together two non-conformist artists whose acidic reinterpretation of pictorial modernism has had a profound impact on the history of French painting since the 1960s, by inviting Olivier Mosset, a proponent of monochrome and ground zero, to respond in an original...

UN ARC-EN-CIEL EN PLEINE NUIT
JACQUELINE LAMBA 29 Mar - 14 May 2022 Art, poetry, is the precipitation of beauty into emotion. (Jacqueline Lamba) Shapes come and go, are born, disappear and sometimes re-emerge, after years or centuries, only to vanish again, inevitably. We are constantly navigating between discovery and rediscovery, innovation and renovation, if we can separate these two notions. Faced with... Read more -
TIENS, MAIS C'EST UN ALIMENT BLANC
ROBERT MALAVAL 10 Feb - 12 Mar 2022 Tiens, mais c’est un aliment blanc. It seems to be the title of the latest work in Robert Malaval's l'Aliment blanc series. But it's also what one of my doctors told me a few years ago. Madam, you suffered from white food. Have you never heard of white food? Yes,... Read more -
SET UP NO SET UP
MATHILDE DENIZE 3 Dec 2021 - 22 Jan 2022 Alice Dusapin: Having been to your studio almost every day last year, I remember that we talked about everything except what was there, your work. Probably so as not to overplay anything, to come back to it at the right moment, now? Where do you start? Mathilde Denize: We could... Read more -
CADERE | RISTORI 1970
ANDRÉ CADERE | FRANÇOIS RISTORI 25 Sep - 20 Nov 2021 Systems of painting François Ristori (1936-2015) and André Cadere (1934-1978) belong to a very specific generation of French artists - all of them painters - who, from the late 1960s onwards, set about challenging the practice of painting in the broadest sense. This ranged from the systematic deconstruction of the... Read more -
FILLIOU (P)AVEC LEBELLE
ROBERT FILLIOU | GUILLAUME LEBELLE 13 Mar - 19 Jun 2021 Exhibiting with Robert Filliou I knew some of his quotations at the Beaux-Arts, before discovering his pieces. He was seen as a lighthouse artist (in the sense that he shone a light on an area that was in the shadows), a bit like one of the untouchables: an extraordinary and... Read more -
ODORE L'ART, L'ODEUR ET LE SACRÉ
COMMISSARIAT SANDRA BARRÉ 13 Jan - 20 Feb 2021 In 1919, Marcel Duchamp gave his friend and patron Walter Arensberg Air de Paris enclosed in a light bulb. With this gesture, this ready-made in which what we inhale is determined and elevated to the status of art, the French artist, the father of contemporary art, opened the way to... Read more -

ADAM BOGEY | HERMAN DE VRIES 16 Sep - 7 Nov 2020 At a time when distance is the order of the day, when the earth and the skies sum up a bruised planetary environment, at a time when the harsh health crises that humanity has always endured are being updated, it seemed essential to return to this 'essential', which has suddenly...

BLUE PRINT
MATHILDE DENIZE 5 - 28 Sep 2019 We could dare to extract mysticism from ordinary life. It would be like a ritual, standing in front of Mathilde Denize's objects where there is no truth to be sought, and imagining oneself taking on the role of an archaeologist probing the present and trying to detect fragments, witnesses of...

RENDEMENT
HUGO CAPRON 21 Jun - 13 Jul 2019 Galerie Pauline Pavec is delighted to present 'Rendement', Hugo Capron's first solo exhibition in its Nord Marais space.

RONDE DES COEURS
KARINE ROUGIER | JACQUES PRÉVERT 23 May - 15 Jun 2019 They enter in numbers, dice to be thrown for paths into the void, feet in a swarm on the ground, naked bodies thrown into the light from who knows where, a wordless rush under muffled skies. They dance in a circle, to the song of amplified movements and breaths -... Read more -

JOKER
ROBERT MALAVAL 21 Feb - 24 Mar 2019 'The only line I can find for myself is a zigzag line.' R.M Silkworm farmer, mauve socialite, black meteor, Robert Malaval was one of those elusive comets leaving a complex trail of paintings, drawings, writings, sculptures, sound recordings, performances, installations and urban utopias. Robert Malaval was the Joker. Embracing everything,... Read more -
L'ÉCHAPPÉE BELLE
ERIN LAWLOR | BRAM VAN VELDE 24 May - 24 Jun 2018 Skin Standing in his workshop, we look at his latest work. One gouache in particular struck me. An obvious structure emerges, and you start to go through it from top to bottom. Then suddenly you realise that there is another way of reading it. So you abandon the first and... Read more -
ROSE, RENONCE À TON NOM
QUENTIN DEROUET 23 Mar - 28 Apr 2018 For the exhibition Rose, renonce à ton nom (Rose, give up your name), Quentin Derouet draws and writes the single line of a wordless, archaic and essential poem. Far from a lyrical gesture, it is a gentle, loving melody that is played out here. Nothing is hidden, everything is offered... Read more -

Dawn is a meeting, a convergence of these two moments, a birth and a fading away simultaneously, a few... Read more
