His unique works, based on velvet support, challenge the boundaries of abstraction and explore the possibilities of unconventional surfaces. Gallery KKI has recently signed an Asia-wide exclusive contract with Hysbergue, and his works will be shown in Korea for the first time. The luminosity and materiality of his works, due to the qualities of velvet, can only be fully appreciated in person.
