Seven Paintings – Seven Encounters invites visitors to discover painting through a series of unique experiences. Seven major works from the Mudam Collection will be exhibited one at a time for a few weeks each, inhabiting the exhibition space alone. This cycle of presentations, including works that for the most part have never been shown at the museum, will transform the gallery into a space for silent contemplation and direct engagement.

In this suspended context, time and space seem redefined, opening the way to new ways of exhibiting, as well as of seeing and experiencing the works. Through this cycle, seven individual artistic practices will be revealed successively, each resonating differently with the history of painting. From Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism, from social engagement to formal experimentation, Seven Paintings – Seven Encounters will highlight diversity in pictorial creation.

Experience this exhibition through the lens of one of the curators of the show.
