Mâcon 2025 Exhibition - [Du mardi 20 mai au samedi 31 mai 2025]
The City of Mâcon wished to pay tribute to the Mâcon-born painter Jean-Paul Perrenx. It has dedicated its two temporary exhibition rooms to a retrospective of his works. This is an opportunity to discover, or rediscover, through numerous pieces, drawings, and canvases, the world of a multifaceted artist with a unique style, not without humor. Playing with colors, shapes, and materials, his work, at once mysterious and disconcerting, resembles a play of mirrors, anamorphoses, a labyrinth of echoes that resonate across more than five decades.
From the first drawings made in the 60s to the very latest canvases, recurring themes appear in the painter's journey, crystallizing into a surge of unheard-of visions, a desire for incessant creation.
A magician of color, Jean-Paul Perrenx offers us a dreamlike and dizzying world that unfolds in permanent rebirths.
