The Musée de l’Hospice Saint Roch in Issoudun is devoting a solo exhibition to him in 2019, after which two of his works will enter the museum’s collections. That same year, he will be exhibiting at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, another heritage and historical site. In 2020 he showed a very large drawing at the Kunsthale Charlottenborg in Copenhagen and in 2021 he presented his work in several places, such as the Domaine de Chaumont sur Loire, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, which invited him to work on a permanent work, and the Musée Jenisch Vevey in Switzerland for the exhibition XXL, le dessin en grand. He is preparing several projects for 2022, notably at the Domaine de Kerguéhennec, at the Drawing Lab Paris, for the Centre Monuments Nationaux and at the Fondation Bullukian in Lyon.
After a solo exhibition in 2022, Clavé Fine Art continues to showcase its work at the fairs and exhibitions in which it participates.
