Tarek Lakhrissi with the mentorship of Ugo Rondinone, 2024“With his striking, colorful, and particularly captivating works, Ugo Rondinone manages to capture our attention and carry us into fascinating meditations on the cycle of life, Nature, and the World, suspended between enchantment and melancholy. Tarek Lakhrissi shares with his mentor the same ability to draw the eye through seductive forms that are far more complex or elusive than they first appear. Like Rondinone, he explores all media within a vast labyrinth of propositions. Above all, they share an eminently poetic vision of the world and a keen sense of installation and space.” —Thibaut Wychowanok, Artistic Director of Reiffers Initiatives
« who is afraid of red,blue, and yellow? » is the fourth exhibition of the Reiffers Initiatives Mentorship Program. On this occasion, artist Ugo Rondinone—celebrated worldwide, from the Château de Versailles to MoMA PS1 in New York—chose to mentor French artist Tarek Lakhrissi, until their joint exhibition, which opened during Art Basel Paris in October 2024.
The exhibition “who is afraid of red, blue and yellow?” was conceived by the two artists as a comprehensive immersive experience. For this occasion, the spaces of Reiffers Initiatives were completely transformed by Ugo Rondinone and Tarek Lakhrissi to allow the three colors at the heart of their project—red, blue, and yellow—to express themselves.
