March 13, 2011

From October 12, 2010 to March 13, 2011, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain will present MŒBIUS-TRANSE-FORME, the first important solo exhibition in Paris devoted to the work of Jean Giraud, alias Moebius. A legend in the world of comic strip art, a master of draftsmanship, an inventor of extraordinary forms, Moebius has continuously moved beyond the conventions of his discipline. The theme of metamorphosis, which runs throughout the artist’s entire career, will be the central focus of this major exhibition of his work. Replete with shifting landscapes and characters that are continuously changing, the drawings of Moebius explore the limits of the unconscious, revealing an imaginary and fantastical world. Through the often sudden and disturbing transformation of a character, Moebius opens up the possibility that the forms in our environment may not be as stable as they seem.
