Discovering a collector's apartment!

Hatchikian Galerie has taken over the L'Alternatif space in Paris-La Défense for a group exhibition: “The apartment of a collector”, conceived as a plunge into the heart of the collection process, its aesthetic pleasure and its heritage dimension.

A space dedicated to art, in all its forms

This exhibition exclusively unveils a selection of works by highly sought-after artists. In this dream apartment, design and contemporary art coexist in a natural and perfect harmony. The intimate space thus recreated vibrates with the richness of the creations signed by designers such as Hans Von Klier, Verner Panton, Florence Knoll, Joseph-André Motte, Philippe Starck, Jeff Koons… From the living room to the office via the boudoir and the dining room to eat, the walls make figuration with works by artists Gérard Schlosser, Jacques Monory, Bernard Rancillac, Robert Combas… Well represented in the group exhibition, the movement of narrative figuration, appeared mainly in painting at the beginning of the years 1960 in France. It was born in a context of a return to figuration and in opposition to abstraction and the contemporary movements of new realism and pop art.

An unprecedented event

To inaugurate this major exhibition, Robert Combas accompanied by his sidekick Lucas Mancione with whom he forms the rock group Les Sans Pattes will give an exceptional performance concert! Born in Lyon in 1957, Robert Combas lives and works in the Paris region. At the dawn of the 80s, he brought a new figurative painting. Present on the artistic scene since 1979, he is the creator of a movement that Ben called “free figuration”. The “Free Figuration” which in the 80s desecrated art and claimed for painting what the punk movement claimed for music: anyone can be an artist. Street art against the establishment. Pursuing this provocative attitude in his personal work, Robert Combas faces all artistic challenges: painting, sculpture, music, cinema are part of his work and allow him to develop his imagination on all media. Robert Combas, exorcises the dramas of history by interpreting them in his poetic and humorous writing, he deciphers the world, embellishes it or darkens it as he pleases, he takes us on an incredible colorful and musical adventure.

The pleasure of the collection

The purpose of this exhibition is to immerse visitors in the fantastic world of a passionate collector, both esthete, scout and patron. Attracted by all forms of creation, this collector is as interested in great contemporary artists as in renowned designers such as Hans Von Klier, Verner Panton, Florence Knoll, Joseph-André Motte, Philippe Starck… “The apartment of a collector ”features more than 40 works.
