Ox: The Painter of Subtraction

Ox, born in 1963, is primarily known for his photographs that highlight the contextually rich impact of his posters pasted in public spaces, making him an essential figure in French urban art. This exhibition focuses on his lesser-known painting practice, which he describes as 'painting by subtraction,' where he removes layers rather than adding them. The show presents a series of works that explore the tension between presence and absence, using materials like torn posters and paint to create compositions that echo his street interventions. Curated at a Parisian gallery, the exhibition runs until a specific date in 2025, offering a new perspective on an artist typically associated with photography and street art.
