Paolo Canevari‘s portfolio of abstract etchings Monuments of Memory will be exhibited in Paris in the group show Sans Titre, curated by Marie Madec and on view from March 31 through April 30, 2016.

The series, published by Le Livre Art Publishing, presents a departure from Canevari’s previous works, instead turning towards the abstract as a response to what he refers to as “visual pollution” created by an excess of information. The twenty works present dramatic juxtapositions of varying jet-black geometric forms against a white background, creating an absence of distraction and referencing ancient religious symbolism. Described in an interview by Shirin Neshat with Canevari as “…directly conceptualizing the idea of void absence as if you are forcing your viewer to conjure what is missing”, they serve as a depiction of the power of imagination. Each work of art was produced at the noted printing house Harlan & Weaver.
