Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is delighted to announce Bjarne Melgaard’s exhibition "The Casual Pleasure of Disappointment" in the Paris Marais gallery. He first showed with the gallery in Paris Pantin in the group exhibition "Empire State. New York Art Now", where he created a room sized installation with paintings as well as sculptures in homage to Allen Jones.

The current exhibition is Melgaard’s first solo show at the gallery. Bjarne Melgaard’s expressive paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations have achieved a unique position within the international art world. His characteristic style and provocative themes have made him a controversial, but also highly regarded artist. As New York Times art critic Roberta Smith says, “he never met a taboo he didn’t like breaking”
