Pierre Dunoyer
September 13th - October 26th, 2017

Vers le tableau explores Pierre Dunoyer's deep-rooted interest in abstraction. Based on the concept of the tableau (which he differentiates from painting), Dunoyer's philosophical approach to art making seeks to produce works capable of turning seeing into thinking.  The tableau, an object of thought, exists to tantalize the viewer and to question the purpose of its own existence.

... through art, sublimation is completed in a way that
​my brain, my spirit, is totally satisfied
