VICTOR MAN
Eyelids, Towards Evening (solo show)
Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin
4 November 2022 – 2 February 2023
Opening: 3 November 2022
offline 
Bringing together a selection of nineteen portraits and self-portraits, Victor Man’s solo exhibition Eyelids, Towards Evening focuses, for the first time, on those painting genres that have taken on a profound relevance within his artistic practice over the last decade.
Bathed in a mostly penumbral light, Man’s figures are caught in contemplation, absorbed in their thoughts, or portrayed in states of abandon and tender closeness. They seem to inhabit a profoundly human time and space yet, simultaneously, withdraw from the present world. This coexistence of familiarity and distance, of observational likeliness and dreamlike suspension, is the space where these works welcome the viewer.
Eyelids, Towards Evening is curated by Eugenio Re Rebaudengo, and opens on 3 November 2022.

VICTOR MAN
The Lines of Life (solo show)
Städel Museum, Frankfurt
14 October 2023 – 4 February 2024
The Städel Museum presents The Lines of Life, a solo exhibition of intimate and time-transcending works by Victor Man. Compositions from the last ten years will be on view, dedicated to the painter’s artistic focus: self-portraits and portraits. In deep dark green, blue, and black, Man creates works as sensitive as they are enigmatic, dominated by an existentialist, sombre and introspective tone. His oeuvre reveals numerous art historical references whilst maintaining a unique position in contemporary painting.
