A Unique Artistic Experience

Georges Mathieu, a pioneer of lyrical abstraction, was an artist of speed and instinctive gesture, creating canvases in just minutes before captivated audiences. His style, marked by rapid strokes and overflowing energy, left a major mark on 20th-century art.

Graffiti shares this same spontaneity and expressiveness. As early as the 1980s, while the contemporary art world turned away from Mathieu, American and European graffiti artists appropriated his visual language, drawn to the freedom of his line and the power of his gesture.

The "Graffiti X Georges Mathieu" exhibition takes us back to the roots by juxtaposing these two artistic worlds. The featured artists create live and reinterpret the master’s works, offering the public a vibrant and immersive experience. You’ll be able to witness the transformation of the space, observe the techniques of these graffiti artists, and understand how Mathieu’s legacy continues to influence today’s urban art.
