Against the Current of Established Fashions

The self-taught artist Frédéric Clot developed a unique way of drawing and painting, mainly in black and white, against the current of established fashions, between figuration and abstraction. In his paintings, etchings, and drawings, he has often evoked enigmatic places. His oil paintings trace exemplarily how he formed his artistic expression and today depict scenarios that indeed seem to fully correspond with our time: they remind us of something borrowed from the images of our digital age and mass communication.

This richly illustrated monograph is the first to encompass the Swiss artist's entire oeuvre to date. It offers an overview of more than 20 years of artistic creation and is complemented by essays by the art historian Karine Tissot, the cultural journalist Arnaud Robert, and the London art critic JJ Charlesworth.
