Group show
La Maison des Arts, Brussels
From February 23 to May 5, 2024
For the group show Encore et Encore. Rituels d’artistes, Claude Viallat is exhibiting three works from February 23, 2024 at La Maison des Arts in Brussels. Ritual is understood here not in the religious sense, even if a metaphysical dimension may be associated with it, but in the repetition of actions invested with a particular meaning and inscribed in time.
Carré d’Art, Nîmes
From October 27, 2023 to February 11, 2024
The Carré d’Art in Nîmes is dedicating a solo show to Claude Viallat, Et pourtant si…, curated by Matthieu Leglise. This wide-ranging exhibition offers a glimpse of a ten-year period in the expansion of a practice that never ceases to extend its play of colour into unexpected forms.
Chapelle Sainte-Marie-Claude, Annonay
Through August 19, 2022
Provocative and sumptuous, rigorous and ironic, Claude Viallat’s painting shows the power of color through the repetition of a simple form. At La Chapelle, the artist display a selection of recent, unstructured canvases that respond to the architecture of the place by the audacity of their form and the flamboyance of the color.
Claude Viallat - Libertad de Colores
MACBA, Buenos Aires
From March 4 to June 12, 2022
This exhibition brings together the most representative works of his oeuvre, which, grouped by theme, pay homage to one of the most important contemporary colourists, whose abstract pictorial syntax is constantly being renewed while still identifiable among all the others through its serial imprints, its materiality, the nature of its support, its manufacture, the surface treatment and its presentation. A prolific and demanding artist, Claude Viallat, who was one of the founders of the Supports-Surfaces movement created in 1970, has been creating for more than 60 years a universe that explodes with colours, leaving traces of his universal poetry in space and time.
Claude Viallat - Eclectique
Bonisson Art Center, Aix-en-Provence
From February 26 to June 12, 2022
Claude Viallat’s work is based on the conviction that “the object of painting is painting itself”, in a movement of repetition and overcoming: “The notion of repetition, of series or repetitions, becomes a de facto necessity”. The absence of subject matter allows him to concentrate on forms and structures, on the relationship between colours, on pictorial matter, generating a unique work on colour.
Claude Viallat - Kitchissime
Fondation GGL Helenis, Montpellier
Through May 30, 2022
The exhibition sheds light on a selection of recent works, objects made of rope with a vernacular rusticity, but also on fabrics painted with repeated motif, which became his signature. An always-renewed shape while the artist plays on the diversity of the materials and appropriates the raw support for a sound and rhythmic colourism transcending the simplicity of the motif.
