Philippe Gronon's First Solo Exhibition at Galerie Maubert Explores Photography and Painting
Galerie Maubert in Paris is hosting Philippe Gronon's inaugural solo exhibition titled 'Manipulations' from February 19 to April 4, 2026. The show presents the artist's work focusing on ordinary objects like desks, blackboards, and lithographic stones, photographed at actual size with documentary precision. Gronon's practice examines the relationship between photography and painting, particularly through his 'Versos' series depicting the backs of paintings. The exhibition highlights his decades-long exploration of how everyday items reveal human activity through their wear and markings.
