Pour la prochaine édition de BRAFA, Templon consacre à François Rouan une exposition personnelle. Une référence de la scène française contemporaine, il est associé dès ses débuts, sans y être affilié, au mouvement Supports/Surfaces pour ensuite développer une trajectoire singulière. Peu à peu, il ajoute à sa peinture un travail approfondi de recherche sur les collages, aboutissant en 1965 à ses premiers tressages. Une pratique qu’il élargie ensuite de l’exploration dans les années 1980 de nouveaux mediums, photographiques et filmiques. Rouan a contribué à déconstruire la structure traditionnelle du tableau. Il est aujourd’hui considéré comme pionnier dans l’exploration de nouvelles pistes dans le champ de la peinture contemporaine en France...

Established in 1964, the gallery specialises in Impressionist, modern and contemporary art as well as Camille Pissarro and his descendants. The family business offers well-known internationally established artists that can be found in important museums worldwide. Stern Pissarro Gallery is thrilled to present an intimate oil painting by the celebrated American Pop artist Tom Wesselmann. Part of his iconic Bedroom Paintings series, this 1972 work is highly collectible. With the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris currently showcasing a solo exhibition of Wesselmann's oeuvre, the inclusion of a piece of this calibre at BRAFA feels especially timely...

A l’occasion de la 70e édition de BRAFA en janvier 2025, la Galerie FLAK, basée à Paris présentera une collection exceptionnelle d’une vingtaine de sculptures Mumuye, un peuple vivant au nord-est du Nigeria près de la frontière avec le Cameroun. La découverte tardive de l’art Mumuye en Europe à la fin des années 1960 a constitué un choc. Apparaissait soudain aux yeux du public occidental un art d’une modernité et d’une inventivité fascinantes. L’élancement tout en mouvement du corps humain, le jeu des pleins et des vides et les ruptures de rythmes dans la statuaire Mumuye lui ont valu d’être rapprochée de l’oeuvre d’artistes majeurs du XXe siècle tels qu’Henry Moore ou Alberto Giacometti...

Galerie Marc Maison is thrilled to present a stand centered around the theme 'Egyptomania'. In collaboration with decorator Michael Coorengel, this stand will be a true homage to the fascination with ancient Egypt. The walls will be adorned with real stone carved in low relief, featuring characteristic motifs from ancient Egyptian art. These forms, specially designed for the occasion, are to be digitally crafted in 3D and meticulously sculpted to bring 'Egyptomania' to life at BRAFA 2025. The highlight of the exhibition will a majestic 'Ramses' bed designed by cabinetmaker Louis Malard in the 19th century and presented at the the 1889 Paris Exposition. The passion for ancient Egypt, known as 'Egyptomania', dates back to antiquity itself...

In celebration of the 70th edition of BRAFA, the Dei Bardi Art Gallery will showcase an exhibition that explores the intricate interplay between European visual culture and the “Other” during the medieval period and Renaissance. This compelling presentation, held at Brussels Expo, will feature a carefully curated selection of artworks from the 13th to the 16th centuries, illuminating the profound cultural exchanges that have shaped identity and fostered appreciation for diversity throughout history.

The exhibition traces the evolution of racial representations, from early medieval depictions of Black Africans to the complex interpretations of interconnected identities in the early modern era. It examines how these diverse cultural encounters influenced European visual identity and contributed to contemporary conversations about identity and representation...

The galerie will pay tribute to the great Belgian sculptor Jean-Pierre Ghysels, who passed away this summer, on July 23, 2024. Colete Ghysels, his wife, will be visiting the stand to share her intimate knowledge and vision of the artist's work. Born in Uccle in 1932, Jean Pierre Ghysels is one of the great sculptors of Belgian lyrical abstraction, whose works have left their mark on the contemporary artistic landscape. A pupil of the famous sculptor Ossip Zadkine, Jean-Pierre Ghysels developed a unique artistic language, characterized by harmonious volumes and sensual, contrasting materials in an expressive abstraction. He has taken part in prestigious international exhibitions...
