Collection: Francis Naves

Francis Naves (b. 1940, France) is a French painter associated with the post-war European figurative tradition. Working primarily in oil, his practice engaged with the body, landscape, and interior space through a painterly language that resisted the dominant currents of abstraction and conceptualism in the 1970s. He exhibited at Galerie Stadler in Paris — one of the most significant galleries of the period, known for championing Arte Povera, Nouveau Réalisme, and international avant-garde painting.
