Galerie Taménaga celebrates Jean-Pierre Cassigneul
On the occasion of Jean-Pierre Cassigneul’s 90th birthday, Galerie Taménaga unveils an exceptional exhibition celebrating the artist, whose singular universe has endured through the decades with unwavering sensitivity and grace. Entitled Carnets Intimes, the exhibition invites visitors on a contemplative journey through the painter’s memories, tracing over sixty years of a deeply personal exploration of beauty, poised delicately between reality and imagination. Bringing together more than forty paintings — from the 1960s to the present day — the exhibition reveals a body of work shaped by the pursuit of a serene, almost suspended world. Enclosed gardens, opulent bouquets, sun-drenched houses, tranquil lakesides and languid summer shores compose an intimate, near-secret geography that Cassigneul traverses tirelessly. His landscapes, often untouched by the clamour of the world, evoke sanctuaries for the soul. At the very heart of this oeuvre are women. The women of Cassigneul imbued with quiet grace and timeless elegance. Through their recurring presence, they lend his work its most poignant depth. Tall figures crowned with hats, wrapped in silks of muted sheen, they appear to emerge from another era, from a realm gently out of reach. Their thoughts drift afar, across inner waters that painting can only ever graze. Through this exhibition, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul is revealed in all his facets: painter of beauty, poet of colour, chronicler of a steadfast dream. With undiminished delicacy, he continues his silent dialogue with the world. A world he gently whispers to us through each canvas, far from the noise, where beauty remains, both fragile and sovereign.

ABOUT
Founded in 1969 by Kiyoshi Taménaga in Tokyo, the Galerie Taménaga successively opened up two additional venues in Osaka and in Paris in 1971. The Galerie Taménaga would become the first Japanese art gallery specialised in the Western masters. In this respect it has in its collection many masterpieces by the Impressionists and the Modern artists like Bonnard, Chagall, Derain, Dufy, Picasso, Redon, Renoir, Utrillo, Van Dongen and so forth. The prosperity of the gallery is intrinsically linked to a family history and transmission. Thus, Kiyotsugu Taménaga joined the gallery in 1990. Like his father, he inherited a great sensitivity and curiosity, and decided equally to devote himself more widely to the discovery of and supporting contemporary artists who are recognised today: Chen Jiang-Hong, Takehiko Sugawara, Kyosuke Tchinaï, Tamihito Yoshikawa, and as well the American Tom Christopher or the Spaniard Lorenzo Fernandez. With an active presence at prestigious international fairs, Galerie Taménaga regularly exhibits the great masters of modern art in its three spaces and actively participates in the discovery of new talents. The gallery is now one of the major defenders of the Asian art scene. In this year 2021, the gallery is pleased to announce the inauguration of a new space located in the traditional city of Kyoto. This opening will also coincide with the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of its Parisian gallery, located on the prestigious Avenue Matignon.
