For his first exhibition in a Parisian museum, Laurent Pariente displayed a group of previously unseen works: a construction, a selection of engraved metal panels, and self-portraits engraved on aluminium or drawn on paper with lead pencil.

Since the late 1980s, Laurent Pariente has developed a body of work that involves painting, sculpture and architecture, from his first engraved zinc panels, which inaugurated the artist’s relationship with the wall, to the chalk-covered structures he produces today. His temporary constructions are built to fit the place hosting them and can never be seen in their entirety. Made of high walls with passages in-between, these structures proliferate and divide the space they are made for, thus encouraging the visitor to look at it with new eyes.
