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.
