Bilingual Exhibition Catalogue Alexandre Hollan, Royal Château de Chambord (April 7th - Sept. 1st, 2013).

From his first solo exhibition in 1978, he elected to work from nature, on two subjects exclusively: trees and the still lifes he prefers to term “silent lifes”.

These two sides of his work are paralleled by research into movement (the trees) and immobility (the still lifes), as well as two directions in contemporary art: Rothko, dedicated to color, and Morandi, whom Hollan has called his artistic “father”.
