Nicolas Buffe, studiolo
(the vestibule) until January 20th, 2008 at the Maison Rouge



The work of Nicolas Buffe (born in Paris in 1978) refers directly to the grotesque, these wall paintings of the sixteenth century, as well as a personal imaging, often associated with popular culture and his childhood.

For this exhibition at the red house (la maison rouge), Nicolas Buffe will perform a wall drawing in black ink specifically designed for the vestibule. Studiolo refers to rooms of the same name, which during the Renaissance were cleverly ornamented spaces to stimulate the thinking of those who worked there. Like the Duke Federico da Montefeltro's studiolo containing profane and Christians characters according to the humanist taste, Nicolas Buffe draw a studiolo where classical and popular references mix with elegance and irony.
