“La Couleur en fugue” at the Fondation Louis Vuitton
For this unusual exhibition, the Louis Vuitton Foundation brought together 5 international artists: Sam Gilliam, Katharina Grosse, Steven Parrino, Megan Rooney and Niele Toroni. Baptized “La Couleur en fugue”, it tests the creativity of these painters, who come from different countries, of different origins and generations, but who share the same creative desire.
Armed with brushes and pots of paint in every color of the rainbow, the artists in the exhibition redefined the limits of painting. Here, there are no paintings, canvases or other sheets. We discover amazing, super unusual works.
Walls, floor, ceiling, wood, fabrics and other surfaces… These contemporary artists have appropriated their entire environment! We thus discover several dozen works, including the Drapes by Sam Gilliam and the misshaped canvases by Steven Parrino.
Head upstairs to the Fondation Louis Vuitton to discover this dazzling exhibition for all art lovers.
