PARIS — Galerie Perrotin Paris is home to a dynamic show titled “Post-Op, Perceptual Gone Painterly. 1958 – 2014.”
“The title is ambiguous,” curator Matthieu Poirier tells Blouin ARTINFO. “’Post-Op’ means ‘post-optical’, but also ‘postoperative.' He says the works he brought together try to define a little-known pictorial movement, which “reminds us that the painting itself is an object, you can feel the action of the artist, you can feel his hand. Sometimes it is very young, and very complex and meditative and repetitive.”
The paintings, wall drawings and other works on paper by more than twenty artists have been borrowed from collections or produced specifically for the exhibition.
We asked artists, Michael Scott, Florian Quistrebert and Tillman Kaiser to lead us through their creative process and mindset.
“Post-Op, Perceptual Gone Painterly. 1958 – 2014” is on display at Galerie Perrotin Paris through April 19.
