The Cultural Affairs Bureau launched the exhibition “Plis & Replis 3 – Works by Noël Dolla” on Friday at Tap Seac Gallery, showcasing 32 works by French artist Noël Dolla.
As part of Le French May Festival 2016, the exhibition is organized by the bureau and co-organized by the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, the Alliance Française de Macau and the Bernard Ceysson Gallery.
In the early 1960s, Dolla participated in the process that led the new phase of the avant-garde art movement, said IC in a statement. Breaking with the traditional form of the picture, his works were then made of mundane materials, discarding the usual materials and structures, using abstract painting to represent his reflections and studies on the essence of painting.
The exhibition, which features Dolla’s works over 40 years of his creative career, also comprises photographs of a wide array of other works exhibited by the artist around the world. It is hoped that this will introduce to the public the painter’s diversity of works and creative ideals. The exhibition also aims to share the vitality and creative thinking of the French artist, said the statement.
