Solo exhibition

Stéphane Bordarier

Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris

Jul 21, 2026 – Jan 4, 2027 Trocadéro

Monochrome paintings made by laying pigment onto canvas coated in warm hide glue while it sets, including works from the Noires series.

Bordarier builds each canvas by sizing it with warm hide glue, then applying pigment only while the glue is still setting; the moment it fixes decides the work’s color and form.

His Noires mix two tones directly on the canvas, giving a chromatic depth that shifts with light and viewpoint. Five paintings entered the museum’s collection in 2026 through a gift from the artist and are shown with loans from his studio; after nearly thirty years with Galerie Jean Fournier, he is now represented by Galerie Dina Vierny.
