Exhibitions

As Art Paris focuses on Switzerland this year, we will of course show works by Gottfried Honegger and Hans-Jörg Glattfelder, but also by André Stempfel. We will give an echo of our current exhibition at the gallery, and a reminder from the past exhibition of Henri Prosi. We will show a sculpture by Gottfried Honegger with its drawing and its model. Hans Jörg Glattfelder let us come beautiful collages on paper specially realized for the event. André Stempfel, will be present with works slipping from the wall or discovering their blue spots underwear.

Galerie Lahumière’s new show, Approaches to Color, features four artists of differing generations: Gottfried Honegger (1917–2016), Hans-Jörg Glattfelder (1939–), Sigurd Rompza (1945–) and Nicholas Bodde (1962–). All live in Germany or Switzerland, and all practice a rational, geometric abstraction also known as art concret.

Bringing a fresh eye to Henri Prosi’s studio, we have decided to show his works from the 1970s and ‘80s. There is a striking liveliness to his explorations of broken lines, of cut-out and collaged canvases that are sometimes stretched, sometimes not. And yet structure is also there—the cut-outs are clean and, once collaged onto the canvas, organize the cluster of lines. This set of works vibrates, drawing and awakening the eye, which is then tempted to dwell longer in order to grasp what is dancing in front of it. Prosi was an energetic, vibrant character, always in movement.
