Touchon’s current exhibition explores the boundaries between art and poetry through intimate paper collages and paintings composed of bits of lettering and the spaces between them.
Touchon’s non-objective poetic abstractions free words and letters from their service as carriers of meaning and let their forms communicate from a dignified silence in the primal language of visual art. Stripped of literary meaning, these works rely on composition, rhythm and visual movement to convey what is ambiguous and intuitive. Many of these works are constructed from distressed street posters and bill boards found in places such as Mexico City, Paris, and Berlin.

Frontier is a retrospective selection of paintings by the German-based, Californian-born artist Mark Harrington. The exhibition focuses on paintings from 1999 to the present: from the artist’s years in the far north of Norway, during the late ’90s, to recent works produced in the Alps and at his current studio in the Bavarian foothills.
In their format, color and textural horizontality, Harrington’s paintings focus on space and light. No narrative. No symbolism. No reference. No representation. They may be analogous to aspects of the world and our experience, but they are not evocative of conditions outside themselves.
