Galerie Applicat-Prazan has entrusted Communic’Art with the creation of a catalogue for Atlan’s exhibition which will be presented in preview at the Fiac, from October 23 to 26, 2008 and then at the galerie from October 31st until December 13th.

During the same period, an exhibition of Atlan’s Dation will take place at the Centre Georges Pompidou.

After Soulages, Estève, Schneider, Geer van Velde and recently Poliakoff, galerie Applicat-Prazan continues a cycle of solo exhibitions by presenting Atlan’s work which will surely make date, not only for its quality but also for the number of works exhibited: 34 paintings selected for their exceptional aesthetical qualities.

An autodidact and unclassifiable artist, Atlan started painting late. Neither figurative, nor completely abstract, his work has an extreme singularity and has influenced painters who were close to him. This influence is often not very decipherable and as Michel Ragon shed some lights : “To Atlan no one resembles”.
