Press Release

Hélène Delprat’s first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth following the announcement of the gallery’s representationin collaboration with Christophe Gaillard Gallery will open in Paris. Organised with Olivier Renaud-Clément, theexhibition will include a selection of new large-scale paintings alongside sculpture, video and installation worksacross both floors of the space.

Over the past four decades, Delprat’s multifaceted practice has engaged the human condition as its focus, exploringlife and death in an oeuvre that spans various mediums. After finding success for her distinctively primitive style ofpainting between 1985 and 1995 following her Villa Medici residency in Rome, Delprat turned her focus to video,theater, interviews, installations and projects for radio, whilst continuing to paint. Since the late aughts, the artist’spainting practice has been shaped by an encyclopaedic research process that encompasses a remarkable archiveof sources. Delprat’s works, together, comprise a sprawling constellation of references to literature, film, radio,philosophy, internet databases, recorded national histories and canonical art history.
