Sarkis — Au commencement le blanc
Past: January 9 → March 1, 2014
This exhibition brings together a selection of works on the theme of white. In a precise and accurate manner, Sarkis has treated the gallery as though he were a musical composer. By arranging his works like sounds, whose formal intonation he has fine-tuned through their positioning and the participation of the observer, Sarkis has created a score of great expression.

Carole Benzaken — Oui, l’homme est un arbre des champs
Past: November 14, 2013 → January 11, 2014
Carole Benzaken développe un travail pictural qui questionne le statut de l’image, sa représentation comme sa perception dans l’espace du tableau et hors du tableau. Elle ne cesse de brouiller les pistes en se renouvelant constamment par l’usage de nouveaux médias et de nouveaux dispositifs qui s’inscrivent aujourd’hui dans l’espace tridimensionnel.

Brook Andrew — Anatommie de la mémoire du corps : au delà de la Tasmanie
Past: November 7 → December 31, 2013
The book documented fifty-two Tasmanian Aboriginal skulls, all held as token trophies of the so-called “dying races” of Tasmania. Reflecting on Berry’s drawings and the racial judgment theories of that time, the artist has created fifty-two beautiful and enigmatic religious-style paintings of “saints” from disparate parts of the world who have in turn become exotic subjects.

Rosson Crow — Reconstruction
Past: September 7 → November 2, 2013
Rosson Crow has embarked on painting the complex history of the southern United States, where she hails from. With its Protestant evangelical traditions, its colonial past, the ancient institution of slavery, and its separatism during the Civil War, the American South has a highly collective identity that Rosson Crow assimilates into her painting.

Fiona Rae — Nouvelles Œuvres
Past: February 22 → April 25, 2013
In the set of works being shown for the first time, made between 2011 and 2013, Fiona Rae presents dynamic “screens” whose theatre of activity stimulates the viewer’s mental projections. This organised chaos offers us a profusion of visual choices, generating fantastic worlds, stimulating complex desires, playing on our bustling preoccupations and anxieties.

Seeing — Shirley Jaffe
Past: January 19 → March 2, 2013
Seeing, as its title implies, is an exhibition that invites the viewer to look attentively, and to observe that the signs are now separated by greater amplitudes on the surface of the canvas. The coloured system gains in clarity while the internal mechanics gain in complexity and the tension between the forms increases.

Devoid
Past: October 27 → December 28, 2012
With her disturbing shadow theatre installation, Mithu Sen sheds light on her darkest imaginings and confronts us with her personal world: a procession of finely cut-out forms — animals, objects, bits of dismembered, disjointed bodies and nightmarish visions.

Guillaume Bresson
Past: May 31 → July 21, 2012
The paintings by Guillaume Bresson combine formal harmony and narrative quirkiness, making the artist a worthy heir of the literary and cinematographic avant-gardes. The exhibition broadens processes and sources of creativity, emphasising friction between the representations and space-time.

Past: March 17 → May 16, 2012
For its first exhibition at Galerie Nathalie Obadia, MadeIn Company has put together an authentic conceptual programme announced by its manifesto-like title, “Sleeping Life Away”, which alerts visitors to the danger of collective anaesthesia in the age of mass consumption and the reign of communications (image over substance) in politics.

Past: September 10 → October 8, 2011
The practice of Cameron Jamie has a distinct place in the contemporary art scene. A new series of drawings in Indian ink alongside glazed ceramic sculptures will present a gallery of strange and elegiac, almost poignant figures that seem to question the nature of our human condition and our tragic destiny as social animals.

Youssef Nabil — You Never Left

In fact, this exhibition is a double first, since this artist known for his work combining photography and painting will also be presenting his first film, an 8 minute piece with the actors Fanny Ardant and Tahar Rahim set in an allegorical “other place” that is a metaphor of a lost Egypt.

Rina Banerjee — Imagining the other half of the world from here
Past: May 22 → July 13, 2011
Née en Inde, Rina Banerjee vit aujourd’hui à Manhattan. Le travail de cette artiste donne à voir l’ambiguïté de sa double appartenance aux mondes occidental et oriental, les métissages d’une esthétique qui tantôt se réfère à une pratique ancestrale tantôt emprunte à une imagerie Pop, héritière des avant-gardes américaines et européennes.

L’hiver ou le déluge
Past: April 16 → May 14, 2011
A proposition by Shanta Rao, Rada Boukova and Thomas Fontaine at the invitation of Galerie Nathalie Obadia.
These artists represent a wide range of practices and do not form a collective, preferring to come together on a temporary basis, a bit like those All Stars bands formed by musicians for an album or a tour.
