Press Release

TEMPLON is proud to welcome abstract painter Claude Viallat in its New York space for the first time. A legendaryfigure of the last French avant-garde movement, Supports/Surfaces, Claude Viallat, now 88, is taking over theChelsea gallery with an installation of large-scale colorful tarpaulins, created between the 1970s and today

About the Artist

Claude Viallat was born in 1936 in Nimes, France, where he continues to live and work. He is one of the founders of the Supports/Surfaces movement in the 1970s, which called for art to renew itself through a deconstruction of traditional materials. Viallat started to work on industrial tarp, endlessly repeating the same abstract pattern, resembling a small bone, which became his signature. Stencilled repeatedly onto a range of supports, the pattern asks us to reflect on the meaning of the creative act and the status of the work of art.
