Simon Hantai 1963 - 1968

Simon Hantaï, Paintings from 1963 to 1968, pays tribute to the artist’s early explorations of the folding method.

Through the series Manteaux de la Vierge (1960-1964), Catamurons (1963-1965), Panses (1964-1967) and Meuns (1966-1968),

Hantaï pushes the boundaries of painting, continuously exploring the possibilities offered by folding the canvas before applying colour.

This technique, which he refined throughout his career, lies at the heart of his artistic approach and resulted in  works of remarkable visual and emotional power.

By redefining the role of gesture, chance and mastery, Simon Hantaï paved the way for a new conception of painting, where the canvas becomes a field of visual and tactile experimentation. This exhibition offers an immersive journey into the practice of an artist who freed painting from its traditional confines to explore unprecedented possibilities.
