Individual works
Hadrien Dussoix et Didier Guillon s’amusent is a dialogue of autonomous works, the result of their respective inspiration. Thus, Hadrien Dussoix’s iconic collection of cathedral paintings contrasts with Didier Guillon’s latest Trumps.
Since 2013, Hadrien Dussoix produces a series of cathedrals, tribute to the Renaissance period. He illustrates the most traditional settings with unexpected supports like using street art’s codes. Very quickly acclaimed by his peers, his large scale paintings get the status of art works recognized for their depth, volumes and contrasts emanating from them. For this exclusive exhibition, Hadrien unveils two paintings from this renowned collection.
Didier Guillon on his side tags former US president Donald Trump in an impressive masks series inspired by “Moaïs”. Seven “Trumps” painted on New York Times pages. A tribute to the American newspaper for its ability to manage information and “fake news” from which emanates an intriguing and meditative appeal. A fantastic echo of Hadrien Dussoix’s cathedrals.
And Didier Guillon to perpetutate his quest by giving life to TMTT. Four capital letters for Tell Me The Truth, four letters for two sculpted, openwork, colourful chairs. Two responsible works looking like no other.

Live Performance & four-handed works
“Let’s look at colours as a connoisseur, but let’s also live them with spontaneity and a certain innocence. These Michel Pastoureau words could have been those of Hadrien and Didier.
Around a huge canvas, imagination and spontaneity mingle. Magic happens, creative energies entangle. The two artists have in mind a clear goal : to produce a patterned textile which could enhance few chairs outdated design. To achieve this, a 24 hours live performance. No room for a second attempt, here spontaneity governs creativity.
From this parenthesis comes out an assembly of works and decorative objects. Chairs and cushions dressed in an unique fabric.
