QG GALLERY is proud to present a solo REDISCOVERY booth of paintings from the 1970's to 2008 by François Ristori.
François Ristori (1936-2015) was a french painter and part of a generation of artists, with B.M.P.T, André Cadere, Claude Rutault, amongst others, who reimagined painting in the 1960's and 1970's.
The start of his career was very active; even though he wasn't invited at the Paris Biennale in 1969, Daniel Buren and Niele Toroni decided to give him their space. In 1971, Yvon Lambert gave him his first solo show, followed by the restropective show "Activité d'un bilan" where he was shown with On Kawara, Brice Marden, Robert Ryman,... He then exhibited a monumental work on the front façade of the BOZAR in Brussels (1976, see picture below), another work in the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1977), and at 'Coin du Miroir" (1979), now known as le Consortium de Dijon.
Using the same shape and colours throughout his career, his protocol "traces-formes" was applied on very diverse mediums: canvas, paper, cardboard, foam, windows, and even a street in Paris in front of the Galerie Yvon Lambert where he was shown until 1985.
After which he started showing with Galerie Arnaud Lefebvre (duo show with Olivier Mosset in 2005) and more recently with Galerie Shilla, Seoul, in 2017, and Galerie Joy de Rouvre, Geneva, 2020.
His works are held in the public collections of : Collection Lambert in Avignon, Centre National des Arts Plastiques, FRAC Bourgogne, FRAC Poitou-Charentes, FRAC Picardie, Centre Pompidou, Musée Fabre, MAMCO Genève, Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, amongst others...
