CLÉMENT DENIS: In Search of Light

Ginza New Gallery

2025.07.25 - 08.30

This exhibition is a journey through a series of works that trace Clement Denis’ exploration of light, movement, and memory. It is an intimate dialogue between painting and the unseen, where each canvas leads to a single, special piece.

When I paint, I search for the intangible—the light that dances, the air that moves, the silence before a storm. In this search, I found something unexpected: a scent.

Clément Denis

This final painting carries the essence of Denis’project, Painting the Wind, partly varnished with a fragrance crafted in collaboration with perfumer Ugo Charron. The scent lingers, like the fleeting touch of wind, capturing what words and images cannot.

The works you will see—such as the Oiseaux laissés pour trace ongoing series and larger pieces like Chroniques temporelle de Vétheuil I —are fragments of this search. They are moments where the artist to hold the ephemeral, to listen to the rhythm of nature, and to translate it into color and form.

At Whitestone Gallery Ginza, Clement Denis invites you to step into this quiet exploration, where painting meets scent, and where the invisible becomes tangible. Through each stroke and each breath, perhaps you too will find a piece of the light.

The scent, titled Painting the wind n°1.6, bridges light and shadow in olfactory form. It opens with the crystalline whiteness of Aqual™, a captive aquatic molecule from MANE, evoking clear skies and early morning fog. This is joined by the pale green brightness of Cardamom JUNGLE ESSENCE™ from Guatemala, fresh and trembling like a new leaf. At its heart, the deep green of Canadian Fir Absolute anchors the composition, a grounding resinous note like moss in shadow. Finally, French Mimosa Absolute burns red—a pulse of solar warmth and nostalgia that lingers like a memory of skin or a sunset behind the eyelids.

MANE, the first French Group and one of the worldwide leaders of the Fragrance and Flavour industry, enhances Clément Denis’ exhibition at Whitestone Gallery by adding a unique olfactory dimension. Through bespoke creation PAINTING THE WIND 1.6 crafted by MANE Perfumer Ugo Charron, scent and painting merge to offer a multi-sensory experience that captivates and engages audiences, elevating the artist’s art to new heights.
