Robert Blanchon (1965-1999) died at a moment of increasing exhibition opportunities and growing critical acclaim, leaving unachieved and for years unviewed, most of his oeuvre. But he was feverishly productive in his condensed life span and left behind a body of work with unusually lucid themes, possibly foreseeing that, only after his death, his works would finally be seen together. It is important to note that he spent his entire creative life with AIDS.
Please join Visual AIDS tonight to remember World AIDS Day at the opening of:
