Soloshow

Ceysson & Bénétière is delighted to present, for the first time in its Paris space, a monographic exhibition dedicated to Jean-Luc Verna. With Soloshow, the multidisciplinary artist unveils a selection of recent works that reveal his singular universe. This unprecedented presentation offers an opportunity to grasp the richness and complexity of a practice that fully engages space and the codes of representation. "May it resist. As long as drawing resists. As long as it resists the taste of a particular era; resists fashions and trends. As long as it resists conformist taste; resists the comfort of its own know-how, the onanistic satisfaction of its craftsmanship. As long as it surprises itself. As long as it speaks to different people, to people as different from one another as possible. As long as it continues to irritate and keep troublemakers at a distance. "To please everyone is to please no one," Wilde said. Stay Wilde, stay wild." —S. J. Ballion, 2026 "The secrets that I do not know I cannot understand them A wanted series printed over Words are his defenses The battle bracelets do not fit My favorite gladiator a fanatic hero piously Has to be a faker He is a dangerous creator A master in his mortal cave I am a savage violator A valet innocent and vain" —Nico, 1974, Innocent and Vain
