We are excited to invite you to the exhbition Paint Things by Raphaël-Bachir Osman, who spent 6 months in New York City in 2023 thanks to a studio grant by Atelier Mondial.

In Paint Things, Raphaël-Bachir Osman presents a new body of work developed from modest, found materials — fragments of fabric and small, almost pocket-sized wooden formats. Embracing the unpredictability of textile, his paintings shift between precision and diffusion, allowing the material itself to guide the image. Blending everyday scenes, studio moments, and art historical references, these works unfold like a fragmented visual diary. Moving between figuration and abstraction, Raphaël-Bachir Osman captures fleeting impressions — light, memory, and atmosphere — through a practice rooted in observation and transformation. This new series invites viewers into an intimate world of wandering images, where the ordinary becomes quietly poetic.

Opening: Friday, May 8th from 5pm to 9pm.
The exhibition will be open as follows: May 9th to May 17th, Wed-Sun 11am-5pm
