Daniel & Florence Guerlian

This group exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou offered a focused exploration of contemporary drawing through works by various artists, including Kcho, connected by the centrality of the medium within their practices.

Based on the Daniel and Florence Guerlain Collection — one of the most significant collections dedicated to contemporary drawing — the exhibition reaffirmed the relevance of drawing as a fundamental artistic practice.

For Kcho, drawing represents the origin of his creative process: the first gesture of an idea that often evolves into large-scale sculptures and installations. The work that entered the Pompidou collection is not only a piece in its own right, but also the conceptual starting point for one of his sculptural works.
