The "Marie Roti Exhibition: Commemorating 120 Years Since the Death of her Great-Grandfather Paul Cézanne" will be held at Shibuya Hikarie. This exhibition introduces the innovative world of French contemporary artist Marie Roti, who is the great-granddaughter of Paul Cézanne, the father of modern painting. Her works are filled with vibrant life force, blending precise depiction with dynamic expression. Through portraits, still lifes, and other diverse motifs approached in new ways, her art continues to offer unpredictable surprises to viewers.

The World of Marie Roti, an Unpredictable Painter

Marie Roti graduated from the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in France, which boasts over 350 years of history, and has since held numerous exhibitions worldwide. Concurrently, she dedicated over 30 years to teaching art at public schools in Paris, nurturing the next generation of expressive artists. While paying homage to the great roots and traditions of her great-grandfather, Paul Cézanne, she transcends his lineage. With her overwhelming sensitivity and expressive power, she powerfully depicts contemporary societal issues and the essence of human nature. The myriad messages embedded in her works stimulate our imagination and offer new perspectives on the world.

Original Works Including New Pieces on Display and Sale

This exhibition will feature and offer for sale a collection of original paintings that reflect Marie Roti's diverse worldview, including new works recently unveiled in Paris in May 2026. As opportunities to experience her art in Japan are still limited, this is a rare chance to closely encounter the artist's present moment. We invite you to fully immerse yourself in the energetic and innovative world of her creations at the venue.
