Bigaignon
Bernard Joubert's exhibition, entitled "Le Fixe et le Variable" (The Fixed and the Variable), features historic works produced in the 1970s and shown for the very first time in a dialogue between photography and painting.
Born in Paris in 1946, Bernard Joubert is a visual artist known for his minimalist paintings, whose first solo exhibition was held in 1974 at the renowned Yvon Lambert gallery in Paris. From the outset, the artist painted on loose canvases, usually tracing lines of colour directly with a tube of paint. From 1973 onwards, he left the canvas behind and began to paint a series of ribbons. For almost ten years, these coloured lines painted on cotton ribbons would delineate geometric surfaces, without these surfaces being closed. It is these ribbons that will punctuate the scenography of our space, alongside a series of silver prints produced in New York, Paris, Venice and Brussels between 1974 and 1977 and exhibited for the very first time.
Bigaignon is a photosensitive contemporary art gallery. With a strong international focus, the gallery supports and defends the unique vision of its artists, whether they be emerging, mid-career or established worldwide, in their quest to propose a new visual vocabulary, challenge the photographic medium and explore the full extent of its possibilities. As such, the gallery represents Catherine Balet, Renato D’Agostin, Harold Feinstein, Vittoria Gerardi, Ralph Gibson, Yannig Hedel, Fernando Marante, Sabine Mirlesse, Rémi Noël and Thomas Paquet.
The gallery offers its collectors and visitors a first-hand online experience with its Viewing Room which features unique, rare, and exclusive works, as well as special previews of forthcoming exhibitions.
As a way to support emerging artists, the gallery also invites once a year a photographer it does not directly represent but whose work deserves to be brought to light.
Located in the thriving Marais in Paris, France (at 18 rue du Bourg-Tibourg, Paris 4), the gallery’s magnificent space, its first-of-a-kind curated (book)store and with its open reserve offer a compelling experience to its visitors, book lovers and collectors.
