Derouillon | Paris Internationale

Derouillon

Galerie Derouillon was founded in Paris in 2013 by Benjamin Derouillon and is dedicated to discovering and supporting emerging contemporary artists. Since its inception, Galerie Derouillon has put the emphasis on providing young artists a long term support in every stage of production, exhibition and dissemination of our artists’ practice.
The main focus is on international emerging artists, creating a community and bonds with historical and more established artists through curated group shows. Collaboration is an important feature in the ecosystem of the gallery as we dedicate ourselves in creating relationships between artists, galleries and institutions by producing books, exhibitions as well as working closely with public and private institutions.

For its third participation in Paris Internationale, Galerie Derouillon presents works by Alex Foxton (English, b.1980) and Mathilde Albouy (French, b.1997). Both artists explore questions of gender, legacy and representation, examining how identity is constructed, performed, and perceived.

Mathilde Albouy

Playing on formal and conceptual paradoxes, Mathilde Albouy’s sculptural work invites the viewer to a game whose rules are not clearly defined. We don’t know whether the encounter with her sculptures is courtship or predation, confronting us with a dangerous seduction. Nourished by feminist science fiction, Mathilde uses the fictions generated by her pieces as political tools to question an established, binary reality. By hijacking scales and materials, sharp or toxic objects become individuals in their own right, revealing how the beauty of objects conveys patterns of oppression.

Alex Foxton

Alex Foxton’s painting takes traditional images of masculinity, deconstructs their archetypes and reveals their complexity and ambiguity. Foxton explores the personal history and humanity of the heroes and mythical figures inhabiting western culture, painting a new narrative in the hollow of known history. The figures depicted are stretched, torn between a calm face and an expressive body, underlining the tension of each character. Alex tries to get rid of the dominant gaze shaping these figures, to reveal an embodied vision and let a desire for these bodies come to life.
