Delete?, published on the occasion of Thierry Bisch\u2019s exhibition at the Citadel of Blaye, crowns a body of work initiated nearly thirty years ago.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The story began in the mid-1990s at the Loft Gallery in Paris, where I met Thierry, who was then just beginning his first animal portraits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It continued in London and later in Monaco, where our exhibitions enjoyed growing success: his large-scale paintings \u2013 big cats, bears, giraffes and giant pandas \u2013 quickly captivated collectors and art enthusiasts from around the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Then came 2010. Thierry introduced me to his project Delete?: creating large portraits of endangered animals listed on the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature). His ambition was to create a work of international scope, aimed at raising awareness among urban populations about the urgent issue of the massive disappearance of animal species worldwide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2016, to celebrate its tenth anniversary, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation partnered with the artist and launched the event Delete? Monaco: thirty paintings depicting endangered species were exhibited at emblematic locations across the Principality throughout the month of June. They were also adapted into large-format posters during the summer, reproduced on banners stretched across buildings, and even projected onto the walls of the Prince\u2019s Palace.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2018, a new series of twenty works, Delete? Singapore, was presented during A Ball in Monaco at Marina Bay Sands, with the support of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and Bartoux Galleries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2026, the major retrospective Delete? brings together forty animal portraits at the Couvent des Minimes, in the heart of the Citadel of Blaye.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Recognised as one of the leading painters within this artistic field rooted in a long-standing tradition \u2013 animal painting \u2013 Thierry Bisch now presents, through Delete?, a major and essential body of work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Through this book, it already stands as a testimony intended for future generations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
