Dear friends of the gallery,
In her first solo exhibition Reactance at Galerie Vera Munro, Paris-born artist Agathe de Bailliencourt is showing nine works from a series of paintings created between 2017 and 2019, in which she painted directly onto the fibres of three raw materials using acrylic paint: Linen, jute and cotton.
Exploring construction and destruction, these works were conceived to be exhibited in sequence, forming a dynamic interplay between material, form, and spatial tension.
Her large-format works – the exhibition brings together six large-scale paintings and three smaller ones – are located in the resonant space of autonomous abstract colour field painting.
