The author of a protean work, by turns mysterious and literal, León Ferrari's (1920-2013) formal rigor equals his subversive power, constantly seeking to warn about the process by which art embellishes and trivializes violence - a mechanism he called "amiable cruelty" (bondadosa crueldad).
In his practice, drawing and sculpture respond to and enrich each other. The techniques of montage and collage, the use of all types of materials allow him to denounce the violence of the Western liberal world in deliberately iconoclastic compositions.

Mission Recherche

Art Paris 2022 returns to its usual springtime slot from April 7 to 10, 2022. The 24th edition will bring together 140 galleries from some 20 countries at the Grand Palais Éphémère. Both regional and cosmopolitan, Art Paris is resolutely committed in 2022 to the environment and a new approach to art on living issues through two complementary themes. Since 2018, Art Paris has supported the French scene by associating the gaze of a curator with the selection of specific projects by French artists proposed by the participating galleries. After Hervé Mikaeloff in 2021, it is Alfred Pacquement's turn to give his view on the French scene.
