Perrotin is pleased to present Panchronic Gardens, Julian Charrière’s first solo exhibition since joining the gallery. The artist will showcase new sculptures alongside signature works, such as the video work And Beneath It All Flows Liquid Fire, depicting the coexistence of opposing elements like water and fire in a burning fountain, and Panchronic Garden, and immersive installation evoking our intricate history of mining the lithosphere and the vast Carboniferous forests that covered the planet some 300 millions years ago.
Combining installation, sculpture, film, and photography, Charrière’s projects often involve fieldwork in liminal spaces, from industrial extraction sites to volcanic calderas, from remote ice fields to nuclear testing grounds.
The gallery is delighted to present Dans La Lumière, JR's fourth exhibition at Perrotin Paris and his thirteenth with Perrotin.The exhibition presents a series of recent artworks inspired by the CHIROPTERA project - a unique ballet performance devised by JR, Damien Jalet, and Thomas Bangalter - created specially for the Opéra de Paris in November 2023.
On this occasion, JR has invited Thomas Bangalter to present a sound installation in Saint-Claude from June 7 to 15.
Perrotin is delighted to present Emma Webster’s first solo exhibition in Paris, The Engine of Beasts. In her third show with Perrotin, Webster stages paintings alongside sculptures, so viewers may follow the representation of a beast in all its states. The guiding theme of the exhibition: The word Engine’s Latin etymon, ingenium, meaning skill or ruse, also signifies the ability to move easily from one medium to another, like a life-form striving to adapt, evolve, and survive. Between the transfiguration and fictive landscapes that serve as a barrier between the characters and the viewers, Webster reveals her interest in sentience, a combination of sentiment, sensation, and conscience.
“Hypercycle,” curated by art historian Matthieu Poirier, is a series of exhibitions at several sites across three continents from 2024 to 2026, with three chapters, each tracing a part of the artist’s career.
Lynn Chadwick (1914–2003) was one of the most significant sculptors of the twentieth century, alongside Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, and Louise Bourgeois. The first chapter begins on October 12, 2024 in Paris, at the Centre des monuments nationaux–Hôtel de Sully and Perrotin. It brings together sixty key works produced between 1947 and 1962, a time when the artist defined his unique approach and achieved international recognition. Lynn Chadwick’s sculptures are held in some 150 public collections worldwide, and this is the first time such an extensive selection of his work has been shown in France since his exhibition at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris in 1957.
The second chapter covers his mature period, from 1963 to 1979, and will take place in New York in 2025. The third chapter, focused on his late work, from 1980 to 1996, will be held in Asia in 2026.
A monograph is forthcoming in 2025, providing a full overview of Chadwick’s career and offering various perspectives on his work.
Perrotin is thrilled to present Exonaut Horizon, the second solo exhibition by French artist Jean-Marie Appriou at the gallery, and his first in its Paris location. Drawing inspiration from ancient cultures such as Egyptian and Greek mythology, Appriou pushes the boundaries of traditional sculptural techniques by blending diverse materials like aluminum, bronze, marble, glass, and lava. His process begins using clay in his studio, where each piece is meticulously modeled to scale, leaving the artist’s fingerprints as a lasting imprint of his hands-on approach. Spanning works of varying scales—from smaller pieces to monumental sculptures—the exhibition crystallizes technical and conceptual research for more than a decade. The gallery transforms into an immersive mise-en-scène, inviting visitors to step into Appriou’s enigmatic universe.
