Giorgio Griffa and Yann Chateigné Tytelman

Giorgio Griffa discusses his exhibition, Empatia (12 September—26 October 2024) with curator Yann Chateigné Tytelman in this new video.

"I choose a format, I choose a mark, and then this arbitrary beginning is followed by a series of necessary acts dictated by my attempt to understand what actions the canvas asks of me. That the work requires of me. What is the passage that the painting requires?”

Curated by Yann Chateigné Tytelman, this new presentation with the artist connects two groups of works created over 50 years apart, demonstrating the Italian painter’s great coherence, relentless creativity, and ongoing ability for renewal.
