"And immediately, I had the feeling that Ronan Barrot's paintings were one of the most convincing and distraught manifestations of what, in all art, goes back to its silent emergence."
Éric Vuillard, 2020.
From that first exhibition in Nice in 2006 to the present day, fourteen years have passed, and Ronan Barrot's work has grown. Attached and faithful to the city of Nice, he is showing his affection for it with a solo exhibition inaugurating the 21Contemporary gallery. In return, the gallery has chosen to present the painter's work from the widest possible angle, close to that of a retrospective. The gallery's approach is to highlight a wide range of works, whose variety of themes, palettes and dimensions allows the public to get a closer look at the remarkable work of Ronan Barrot, "a painter, entirely a painter" as Olivier Cena said of him in Téléram in 2009, contemporary and at the same time a member of the family of great classical painters such as Courbet, Géricault and Goya.
