Overview
François Morellet at the Oniris gallery in June 2003
François Morellet at the Oniris gallery in June 2003

In spring 2026, the Oniris gallery will present a solo exhibition dedicated to François Morellet, a major figure in geometric abstraction who passed away in 2016 and with whom the gallery opened its program in 1986.

This tribute exhibition offers an opportunity to rediscover the artist’s visual ingenuity through a selection of exceptional works—silkscreen prints, engravings, and rare editions. The collection highlights the fundamental principles of his work: a strong geometric rigor, often set against random procedures that introduce shifts, rhythm, and the unexpected into the composition.

 

“Multiples d'exception, exceptions multiples” (Exceptional multiples, multiple exceptions), the title of the exhibition presented at the Oniris gallery, is constructed like a palindrome in French, a play on language and symmetry particularly dear to François Morellet.

 

In 2026, the centenary of François Morellet's birth will be marked by an extensive program of exhibitions and events entitled “100 x Morellet,” initiated by the Centre Pompidou in collaboration with Studio Morellet and numerous French and international institutions. This collective project aims to reexamine the artist's legacy, his dialogue with architecture and public space, and the lasting influence of his work on contemporary generations.

 

To be discovered at the Oniris Gallery from Wednesday, April 29 to Saturday, July 4, 2026 [extended].
