Nicolas Buffe was born in Paris in 1978. He studied at the National School of Fine Arts (Ensba) and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts-Appliqués et des Métiers d’Arts in Paris, and currently works and lives between France and Japan. His installation for the "Roof Gardens" exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, which buried an entire room in grotesque patterns and motifs, created a huge sensation. Buffe uses marker pens to create wall drawings featuring his signature patterns that blend intellectual references with pop culture, chalk-on-blackboard pieces and cardboard monuments that share a certain ephemeral quality.

This exhibition, held in the gallery's new underground space, features a palace-like installation of Buffe's grotesque patterns and motifs that will cover the walls.
