Jean-Michel Alberola (b. 1953) is at once one of the best-known and most mysterious French artists of his generation. Political, poetic, committed and profound, Jean-Michel Alberola's oeuvre, standing between conceptualism, abstraction and figuration, is a panorama that allows him to act artistically on reality, feelings and the state of the world, through paintings, neon lights, films, texts, objects, installations, sculptures, murals, publications and tracts. With about 300 works, this large-scale solo show at Palais de Tokyo is the first in Paris since his retrospective at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris, almost 20 years ago.

Curator: Katell Jaffrès

A monographic book published by Palais de Tokyo is accompanying this show.
