DUMONTEIL Contemporary Paris is pleased to present Just Another Myth, the first solo exhibition of Basile Boon with the gallery.
The exhibition offers an immersive journey where each piece seems to have emerged from an imaginary civilization. Through frescoes and sculpted objects, Basile Boon invites viewers to embark on a bold exploration of fragments of forgotten histories and symbols drawn from dreams and fantasies. The atmosphere evokes a world in constant reconstruction, where ancient references intersect with mythological figures like Cybeles, Dionysus, and Diana, in an ordered and poetic chaos.
The upper section of the exhibition, rich in detail and movement, reflects this creative effervescence, a sensory agitation that sweeps the observer into a visual and spiritual tumult. In the lower section, the artist shifts the tone, inviting a quieter, more meditative experience. His sacred objects impose a deep serenity, a quest for transcendence. Here, the artifacts appear to come from a lost civilization, objects collected from another world and presented to be contemplated in the present moment. This passage invites the viewer to an inner connection, almost sacred, with the artwork.
