French artist Loïc Le Groumellec and American artist Will Cotton present their second exhibition at Galerie Daniel Templon, starting April 29, 2010. For their previous exhibitions, Galerie Daniel Templon entrusted Communic’Art with the creation of two monographs.

Loïc Le Groumellec is showing his latest work at Galerie Daniel Templon: a monumental black and white triptych, and, for the first time, a new series of paintings in which he introduced colour.

Born in 1957, Loïc Le Groumellec made his name with his iterative minimalist paintings whose shadowy shapes cast by megaliths and houses constitute a language of their own, almost an obsession. He has been ceaselessly exploring these themes for the past thirty years, creating a body of work almost series-like in nature and that speaks to us of a quest for utter perfection. The exhibition takes place between April 29th and May 29th, 2010. 

The monograph on Loïc Le Groumellec created by Communic’Art for Galerie Templon and was published in 2008. Introduction by Itzhak Glodberg, bilingual edition French/English, hardcover, 230 x 294 mm, 64 pages, price : 20€ TTC, ISBN : 978-2-917515-04-4.

Will Cotton comes back at Galerie Templon with a new exhibition that examines the lacanian theme of desire and lack : landscapes made of icre cream and candyfloss, the most ephemeral of sweets.

Playfully alluding to 18th century French painters such as Fragonard and Boucher, Will Cotton’s paintings are utopian evocations. Bountiful landscapes are inhabited by creatures bedecked in confectionery diadems, a cross between angel, goddess and pin-up. Their scantily covered bodies, inviting yet inaccessible, are ‘posed’ within an ambiguous universe where the boundary between earth and sky has disappeared. The exhibition takes place between April 29th and June 19th, 2010. 

The monograph on Will Cotton created by Communic’Art for Galerie Templon and was published in 2004. Text by Ann Hindry, bilingual edition French/English, biography et bibliography, hardcover, 294 x 230 mm, 68 pages, price : 20€ TTC, ISBN : 978-2-9523914-0-8.
