WHAT
The US-born Paris-pased artist embraces the spirit of collaboration as a means to expand knowledge and skills. Influenced by Buddhist philosophy, and referencing ‘Pacem in terries’ (Peace on earth) published after the Geneva Conference on World Peace in 1967, the exhibition is his 3rd presentation at the gallery and the first in its present location. With a day bed, two chairs, some new paintings, a bunch of unisex clothes, and a curtain of floating pompons, the room stands like a physical rebus, with no focal point.

WHY
The imagery of the artist’s Buddhist paintings on textile draws inspiration from narratives of the Dhammapada, a collection of poetic sayings attributed to the Buddha. They are also reminiscent of the Tibetan tangkas (2) and of manuscript covers. As the artist says, ‘The more Buddhas the better.’
