Exposició "Damien Deroubaix. Passa la llum per amagats camins"

Damien Deroubaix is a key figure in painting in France. Born in 1972 and trained in Saint-Étienne and Karlsruhe, the artist has developed a body of work rooted in art history, underground culture, and cinema since the 2000s. Nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2009, his works are part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Mudam in Luxembourg, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. At the Modern Art Museum of Ceret, more than thirty works, including paintings, ceramics, and wood engravings, culminate the artist's residency in the city, which took place between 2025 and 2026. Damien Deroubaix benefited from the hospitality of a painter, the advice of a ceramist, and the use of Pierre Brune's studio in Castellàs (the former castle of the city). In this environment conducive to creation and friendship, the artist rediscovered Ceret with a renewed perspective, under the light of the Vallespir, and created new pieces, including ceramics presented to the public for the first time.
