Co-presented by K11 Art Foundation and the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau, ??????????? ???????? – ????????????? ?????????? ?? ??????? ??????? presents the major pictorial evolutions of Mathieu’s oeuvre to the public with significant oil paintings by the French painter spanning the 1950s to 1990s loaned from important private collectors. Curated by Catherine Kwai, ??????????? ???????? begins with Mathieu’s early works which emphasise calligraphic gesture and speed extending into the paintings from the “cosmic shift” period starting from 1984. His potent intrinsic energy for boundless abstraction is exemplified in the exhibition by the six-metre-wide canvases that Mathieu specially created for his Grand Palais Retrospective in 1978. Marking the artist’s centenary in 2021, this exhibition celebrates Mathieu’s fierce and poetic expressivity as well as his bold visionary spirit while introducing this French pioneer of free abstraction to a new audience.
