For Drawing Now Paris 2026, Patrick Heide Contemporary Art is delighted to presented the works of core gallery artists Martin Assig, Sophie Bouvier Ausländer, Jonathan Callan, Lavinia Harrington, Thomas Müller and Rebecca Salter.
The presentation will reflect the gallery’s longstanding commitment to contemporary works on paper, showcasing the diverse and experimental ways in which these artists engage with the medium. Works on paper have been central to the gallery's program since its inception in 2008. Each selected artist explores its possibilities with a distinct conceptual and formal approach, pushing the boundaries of the material in their own idiosyncratic ways.
For our Focus Artist, we present the work Jonathan Callan, set across a diverse range of mediums, methods and materials, linked by a preoccupation with the limitations of language. Often working with texts, books, maps, and photographs, much of Callan's information is sourced and filtered from secondhand books. He regards his own culture as one that is predominately literary and has had an almost lifelong concern in trying to reconcile his own deep interest in materiality with that pervasive literary history.
