Pierre Dunoyer: the most arty exhibition of the moment

Here are some good reasons to go to the Museum of Modern Art in Paris to admire the retrospective in 14 paintings by the artist.

Pierre Dunoyer the most arty exhibition of the moment

Until March 13, 2023, Pierre Dunoyer is revealed in a singular and colorful exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris . After more than thirty years without having exhibited a series of this scale in the capital, this new hanging presents itself as an authentic retrospective where 14 paintings are orchestrated in a deliberately tight manner, in a strictly chronological order, going from 1978 to 2022.


The formalism of his beginnings, marked by large white backgrounds, was followed by a freer approach to the painted surface and a variety of tones. Its dominant red, blue or yellow, which sometimes give their titles to the works, are punctuated by broad touches of color, free and dynamic. The artist speaks of "paintings-objects" or "paintings of thought" whose simple and soothing presence "has no other ambition than to be there" . Abstraction and philosophy converse with spirit. We let ourselves be submerged in it. The experience is total.
