Findlay Galleries is delighted to present Henri Maïk and Le Cirque, an exhibition celebrating the luminous naïf universe of Henri Maïk, accompanied by a curated selection of circus-themed works by Georges Rouault, Jean Dufy, Gen Paul, and Camille Bombois that resonate with his boundless imagination.

At the heart of the exhibition are Maïk’s radiant dreamscapes—lush forests, exotic birds, fantastical creatures, and vibrant flora, all brought to life with his signature clarity, color, and poetic charm. Among these captivating compositions are whimsical visions in which Santa Claus soars above tigers and children or journeys across Maïk’s imagined landscapes aboard a train—moments that exemplify his extraordinary ability to transform fantasy into harmonious, immersive worlds. Each painting invites the viewer into a universe where innocence, joy, and wonder coexist with serene sophistication.

The supporting circus works provide a dynamic counterpoint, capturing the spectacle, rhythm, and theatricality of performance. Together, they enrich the exhibition’s meditation on imagination, delight, and the enduring power of art to transport us beyond the everyday.

We invite you to step into this enchanting exhibition at Findlay Galleries—where magic lingers, mystery unfolds, and the whimsical universe of Henri Maïk comes vividly to life.
