Exhibition Thaddaeus Ropac

Thaddaeus Ropac will host 'Roman Campagna', an exhibition of new paintings and charcoal drawings by artist Adrian Ghenie at its Paris Marais location. The body of work explores the incongruity of contemporary figures within historical Roman settings, drawing inspiration from the Appian Way and the House of the Faun in Pompeii. The exhibition features large-scale charcoal drawings on the first floor that detail Ghenie's process of constructing his distorted, grotesque figures.

  • Artists: Adrian Ghenie, Francis Bacon, William S. Burroughs, Vincent van Gogh
  • People: Patrick Javault
  • Galleries: Thaddaeus Ropac
