Four Artists Explore the Paradox of the Point in New Exhibition at Galerie Robet Dantec

The exhibition "Nouveaux Pointillistes" at Galerie Robet Dantec in Paris runs until July 11, 2026, featuring four contemporary artists—Ugo Arsac, Rebecca Brueder, Bastien Faudon, and Jérémy Gouellou—who each use the point as a minimal unit that opens maximal expressive possibilities. Rebecca Brueder's works, such as "Éruption du Chiveloutch," require up to 400 hours of labor, producing soft smoke plumes that invite contemplation. Jérémy Gouellou employs expired film stock to blur figuration and abstraction, as in "L'Homme qui marche," where the point adds vibration and structure. Bastien Faudon adopts a quasi-scientific approach, creating fictive cartographies where coordinates generate imaginary territories. Ugo Arsac delegates the creative gesture to his robot Méchané, which reconstructs images point by point from immersive environment captures, yet the human spirit retains intentionality. The exhibition redefines pointillism not as a reproduction of post-impressionist tradition but as a contemporary tool for structure, rhythm, and materiality.
