PIERRE & GILLES AT GALERIE TEMPLON
For their first exhibition at Galerie Daniel Templon, the masters of camp and kitsch Pierre & Gilles unveil a series of previously unseen works on the theme of the hero. The exhibition features a gallery of portraits, from heroic figures of antique mythology such as Achilles and Prometheus to superheroes of popular culture and fiction. We also encounter a number of contemporary heroes, such as a young rebel from the Arab Spring and a happy couple, sporting the artists’ features, celebrating a same-sex marriage. These hand-painted photographs are peopled by their friends and family, anonymous and famous (including Zahia Dehar, Arielle Dombasle, Isabelle Huppert and Marc Jacobs), who appear in sophisticated life-size sets the artists build in their studio. Coinciding with the exhibition, Le Mobilier National is presenting a carte blanche by Pierre & Gilles iincluding a painting inspired by Marie-Antoinette’s furniture and starring Zahia Dehar (until 27 Sep).
