David Raffini's paintings very often begin with a story. Sleeping Loves is the story of a mythological figure lying on a beach at dusk, which the artist used to tell his daughters to put them to sleep, as thousands of parents do every night for their children all over the world. Except that few stories are inspired by the death of Caravaggio and Pasolini, and even fewer become large images painted on canvas.

The gallery
Galerie Papillon is recognized for its personal editorial line, its commitment to
the French art scene (C. Boch – Drawing Now Prize 2014; Berdaguer & Péjus – Ricard Prize 2007) and its sensitivity to drawing (G. Chotard – Drawing Lab 2018; F. Loutz – nominated Guerlain rize 2008).
Managed by Marion Papillon since 2007, the gallery brings together artists that have a commonsense of poetry and irony (E. Sahal – La Monnaie de Paris 2018; D. Trenet – Centre Pompidou 1997). The development of its team relies also on foreign artists (J. Pérez – Venice Biennale 2011; T. Woslka – Palais de Tokyo 2014).
Founded in 1989 by Claudine Papillon, the gallery also benefits from a historic work on artists that became iconic (E. Dietman, S. Polke, D. Roth).
By joining forces, Marion and Claudine Papillon give Galerie Papillon its identity: two generations with two complementary visions sharing the same values and a common goal; to promote artists and their work on the international art scene.
