Sans titre (objectif : société), 2023, pigments on burlap canvas, 195 x 420 cm, Courtesy of the artist and Michel Rein, Paris/Brussels
Fifth solo exhibition by Edgar Sarin at Galerie Michel Rein, Paris/Brussels. His work testifies to the formal search for a political and environmental harmony, in which humanity acts as the catalyst. Edgar Sarin has been recognized for his work on generative ruins and for his questioning of the exhibition space. He established, a few years ago, that it is necessary to consider the viewer from the moment they cease to be one; thus inscribing himself in a Mediterranean lineage of the conception of artwork. His work is elaborated through porosity with the environment. He advocates an approach that fosters learning about the world and materials—a reasoned form of creative gesture—which he develops in a plural and precise sculptural corpus. In 2016, Edgar Sarin received the Révélations EMERIGE 2016 prize, an event for which our gallery was a partner. In 2023, two major works by Edgar Sarin joined the collections of the Centre Pompidou (Paris). His works are part of prestigious collections such as the Musée Maillol (Paris), the Emerige Endowment Fund (Paris), the CCCOD (Tours), the Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium (Norway), or the Zuzeum Museum (Riga)… Edgar Sarin’s work has been exhibited at the Institut Français de Tokyo (Japan), the Fondation Carmignac (Porquerolles), the Grand Café (Saint-Nazaire), the Musée de l’Armée (Paris), the Chanot Contemporary Art Center (Clamart), the Collège des Bernardins (Paris), the Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré (CCCOD), as part of the Nuit Blanche 2018, and at Konrad Fischer Galerie (Berlin). Edgar Sarin is also a co-founder, along with Mateo Revillo and Ulysse Geissler, of the research group La Méditerranée, with which he organizes collective exhibitions.

The gallery
Founded in 1992 in Tours, Michel Rein is a contemporary art gallery that established itself in Paris in the heart of the Marais district in 2000 and in Brussels in the commune of Ixelles since 2013.
Michel Rein supports French or international artists of different generations, whether established or emerging. The gallery's artists poetically explore the issues of the contemporary world, with a focus on ecological, minority, or historical questions that lie at the core of our commitment.
Most of our artists have participated in major international events. Our gallery collaborates with international museums and private/public collections worldwide.
For thirty years, we have been participating in international art fairs (Art Basel, Paris+ by Art Basel, ARCO, Art Cologne, Art Brussels, Miart, Armory Show, Miami Art Basel Miami Beach), with 28 consecutive participations in FIAC.
