French Painting

French Painting, an exhibition of new works by Belgian artist Michaël Borremans, is presented at David Zwirner, Paris. This marks Borremans' ninth solo exhibition with the gallery and his first at the Paris location, as well as his first solo show in France in two decades.

Borremans' work is characterized by meticulously composed paintings that challenge immediate interpretation and the perceived stability of representation. His practice, which encompasses painting, drawing, film, and sculpture, explores a paradox between precision and uncertainty. The exhibition delves into timeless human concerns such as power, vulnerability, ambiguity, and identity, questioning the inherent instability of meaning.
