Fran莽ois Rouan. On imprint
From the start of his career in the 1960s, Fran莽ois Rouan was associated with the Supports/Surfaces movement, although he was not officially affiliated to it. He has followed a singular path, deconstructing the traditional structure of painting to open up new research areas. From the 1980s onwards, he extended his practice to new media, first photography, then video. The museum of Fine Arts of Lyon has chosen to explore his work through the theme of the imprint, a constant theme in his work from the very beginning to the present day. Imprint understood both in its most literal form and in the conceptual exploration of the notions of recollection and quotation.
