Nicolas Daubanes

Zusatztext

French artist Nicolas Daubanes (born 1983) explores power structures and the will to resist them. His works - large-format, sometimes monumental drawings with iron powder on magnetic panels, and installations - reflect on the reasons for, and consequences of violence, social injustice, oppression and war. His historical research focuses primarily on recent as well as contemporary French and German history, the Resistance during the Second World War, and the fate of prisoners and deportees. This book, entitled Le feu intérieur - referring to both smouldering fires within societies and the inner fire that compels artists, scientists, politicians and citizens to resist - presents Daubanes work and themes via extensive visual material and well-researched essays. - Catalogue to accompany the first major exhibition of his work in Germany Committed art exploring the courage to disobey, liberation and democracy with arthistorical references and collaboration with those impacted Exhibition: Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, September 26, 2026 to January 17, 2027
