François Rouan's Retrospective at Galerie Daniel Templon
François Rouan, initially a rigorously abstract painter, early on addressed the question of the body within an all-over space. He considers his canvas weavings as a description of a duel, involving not one painting but two canvases woven into each other. On the occasion of a retrospective at Galerie Daniel Templon, Denis Hollier shows how the painter made figural space implode.
