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.

Lacan, the exhibition. When Art Meets Psychoanalysis (group show)
Centre Pompidou-Metz
31 December 2023 – 27 May 2024
Work by Victor Man is included in Lacan, the exhibition. When Art Meets Psychoanalysis at the Centre Pompidou-Metz. The ideas of Jacques Lacan are, alongside the work of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze, essential for understanding our modernity. While homages and exhibitions have already been dedicated to these intellectual figures, the thought of Lacan has not been dealt with in museums to date, even though he was strongly attached to works of art.
