Gerhard Hofland is proud to present Reigns, an exhibition with new paintings by the French artist Damien Cadio (1975, Mont Saint-Aigan, FR). Reigns is the second solo-exhibition by Cadio in the gallery and follows À la Solidarité from 2017.
The paintings of Damien Cadio are as much about their images as they are about painting itself. In the exhibition Reigns the artist follows his desire to paint flowers, through which he retraces historical notions of beauty lost throughout modernism, and questions the idea of the still-life as an obsolete genre.
