Perrotin Tokyo is pleased to announce What the Day Hides, The Night Shows — the first solo exhibition in Japan by French artist Lionel Estève. The exhibition presents two types of works - drawings on fabrics and sculptures made of stone - and explores the notions of landscape and pareidolia. The following are excerpts from an essay authored by curator Akiko Miki on the occasion of this exhibition.

Perrotin is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by Thilo Heinzmann in our Shanghai gallery featuring a selection of recent pigment paintings, which visually challenge the viewers and conceptually question the nature and raison d’etre of this ancient art form in our contemporary society.

Perrotin Shanghai is pleased to present Lee Bae’s solo exhibition Souffle d’Encre. The artworks on view comprise Lee Bae’s recent large drawings from the Brushstroke series, along with three sculptures that may signal a future direction of Lee’s artistic practice.

Perrotin is pleased to present our first exhibition with artist Nikki Maloof. Opening on March 3, Skunk Hour, will present a new series of paintings and drawings where imagined interiors and animals become proxies for the human experience. For Nikki Maloof, painting is a way to convey the experience of existing in the world—the light, the dark, and all the shadows in between. Her language is figuration: she started out with portraits of individual animals, progressing onto still lifes and, most recently, domestic interiors and landscapes populated with a mix of creatures—human and non-human; alive, dead, and inanimate.
