Mathilde Denize's Costume Paintings at Perrotin Tokyo
French artist Mathilde Denize (b. 1986, Sarcelles, France) presents her solo exhibition 'Time e Light' at Perrotin Tokyo, following 'Sound of Figures' (2025) at Perrotin New York. The show features her signature 'costume paintings'—works that blend painting, performance, and textile art using scraps, cuts, and remnants. Denize's practice references pioneers Carolee Schneemann and Sonia Delaunay, exploring form, color, and the body through layered materials like veil, brocade, and velvet. The exhibition runs at Perrotin Tokyo, with a concurrent installation 'Where Stories Linger' at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, photographed by Yuya Frukawa.
