Gene Beery
- Gene Beery
The exhibition is curated by Balthazar Lovay
The exhibition Gene Beery gathers over 40 paintings from 1960 up to his most recent works. This retrospective, the very first institutional survey on Gene Beery’s career, is accompanied by a monographic publication.
For more than 60 years, Gene Beery (*1937) has interrogated the moment of esthetic experience with humor and irony. What are the stakes of an encounter between a viewer and the work? What does the surface of the canvas promise to whoever looks at it? Beery positions himself with pictures to be read, whose phrases announce the arrival, the impossibility or the absurdity of such an experience. Behind the apparent lightness and sarcastic distance of his practice emerges a deep reflection on the existence of art and the role of the artist.
