LONDON.- Faggionato Fine Art presents the first UK exhibition of works by Sam Szafran. Born in Paris in 1934, Szafran’s work has been exhibited extensively in France since 1965. Venerated in France for his unique and distinctive style, he is known for a technically precise and obsessive investigation of a narrow range of subjects. Sitting apart from the mainstream 20th century art movements in Paris, Szafran’s work is both figurative and introspective. He focuses on single interior scenes, concentrating on the same space in series of obsessively repeated studies, which gradually dismantle their subject through shifts into Szafran’s ‘false perspectives’ and ‘ocular distortions’. The ten works exhibited at Faggionato Fine Art are all watercolours, painted on silk, and focus exclusively on a single architectural subject, a spiral staircase in the apartment building at 54 Rue de
