Philippe Katerine’s successful exhibition Mignonisme is coming for the first time abroad in Stockholm from April 24 to May 19 at Stadsgårdsterminalen.

Discover the quirky and tender universe of French artist Philippe Katerine and meet his whimsical candy pink creatures “Mr Rose” in this light-hearted and family-friendly exhibition at Stadsgårdsterminalen.

Institut francais de Suède & Kollektivet Livet present: Philippe Katerine’s Mignonisme, One Month in Stockholm.

“Mignonisme is everywhere, it’s easy to find. If you assemble two objects that shouldn’t be together, you already have a story: the present, past and future.” — Philippe Katerine

As artistic concept, Mignonisme - from “mignon”, “cute” in French - brings out the beauty in the ordinary and celebrates aesthetics in everyday life. More than just an artistic expression, Mignonisme is a philosophy — a way of seeing and reinventing the world with open eyes and mind.

While isolated in the countryside during the pandemic in 2020, Philippe Katerine had the chance to experiment with the biggest playground of all: everyday life. Taking inspiration from his kitchen, his garden, his children’s toys, he played around with what he had at hand and created a fantastic world of his own.

From sketches, drawings and portraits to salt dough models, smiling ravioli and scrabble letters arranged on a plate, the artist assembles, designs, carves and photographs his artistic vision on the most unexpected media.

The exhibition in Stockholm is organised by Institut français de Suède in partnership with Kollektivet Livet. Co-curated by Andreas Blom (Kollektivet Livet, Sweden) and Éric Lévy (Agence rengingART, France), it features original artworks presented in France in Paris, Clichy and Lyon, as well as exclusive drawings created especially for the occasion. It is also the first part of an international exhibition tour that will then continue in Canada.
