LEONARD MARTIN "The Cheat"

Leonard Martin shakes the codes of painting by juxtaposing masters of the Renaissance with the universe of marionettes and cinema. Starting from January 10, 2026, the Templon Gallery transforms into a strange mechanical theatre where Paolo Uccello's compositions come to life in an unexpected way. The artist, former resident of Villa Médicis, plays with volumes and materials to design monumental mobile structures defying the laws of perspective. His hybrid creations blend erudition and popular culture with a dazzling technical wit, transforming the viewer into a witness of choreographed parade. This extraordinary artistic proposition, visible until March 14, 2026, invites to a joyful and poetic rereading of the great classics of art history just steps away from the Centre Pompidou.
