David Zwirner is pleased to present Studio Conversations, an exhibition curated by Anaël Pigeat that takes the form of dialogues between three artists chosen to reflect the current Parisian scene and three artists who have inspired them since their earliest work. Admiration, appropriation, inspiration ... How does one artist view another’s work? What dialogues and playful interactions can emerge between them? The encounters that took place between these painters, ranging from conversation to collaboration, gave rise to exchanges and reflections, friction to resonance.
Christine Safa (b. 1994) discussed abstraction, color, and form with Suzan Frecon (b. 1941), who influenced her early artistic development. Nino Kapanadze (b. 1990) and Mamma Andersson (b. 1962) explored their shared passion for frescoes and simple forms, creating visually and spiritually resonant works. Jean Claracq (b. 1991) collaborated with Marcel Dzama (b. 1974) in Brooklyn, blending their styles through drawings inspired by Georges Méliès’s Le voyage dans la lune (1902).
