BRAFA 2025 welcomes TEMPLON: Featuring a solo show of François Rouan
BRAFA proudly welcomes TEMPLON gallery to its 70th-anniversary edition!
Since its founding in 1966 by Daniel Templon, the gallery has been at the forefront of the art world, presenting iconic conceptual and minimal artists like Martin Barré, Christian Boltanski, Donald Judd, and Richard Serra. TEMPLON has also introduced the French public to major American figures like Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
Today, with spaces in Paris, Brussels, and New York, the gallery continues its mission of fostering dialogue between generations, blending established greats with mid-career innovators and emerging talents.
Tune in as Raphaël Sachsenberg, director TEMPLON Brussels, unveils their presentation for BRAFA 2025: a solo exhibition by François Rouan (*1943), a pivotal figure in French contemporary art. Rouan’s groundbreaking “braided” paintings, first developed in 1965, deconstruct traditional notions of composition, intertwining painting and collage in unprecedented ways. His later ventures into photography and film further expanded the language of contemporary art, making him a pioneer in redefining visual storytelling.
Rouan’s works, deeply rooted in the Supports/Surfaces movement yet independent of it, invite viewers to reconsider the fabric of painting itself, challenging conventions and embracing innovation.

ABOUT
The gallery was founded in 1966 by Daniel Templon, who was then only 21. Daniel Templon first gained recognition by exhibiting conceptual and minimal artists such as Martin Barré, Christian Boltanski, Donald Judd, Joseph Kosuth, Richard Serra. In the seventies and eighties, Daniel Templon was one of the pioneers of the contemporary art and introduced many important American artists to the French public: Dan Flavin, Ellsworth Kelly, Willem de Kooning, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol. The gallery quickly became one of the references in contemporary art in France. Today TEMPLON represents a group of international artists. The program promotes a dialogue between generations: established artists, international mid-career artists, and the experiences of younger artists. TEMPLON is involved in the production of its artists and is committed to a strong editorial policy with the publication of exhibition catalogues. It has four spaces: two exhibition spaces in Paris, one in Brussels, Belgium and one in New York. The gallery participates in art fairs worldwide, including FIAC since 1974 and ART BASEL since 1978.
