Où l’humain devient forêt

Victoire Cathalan presents a series of paintings that trace the porous boundary between human presence and forested life. Through layered oils and textured surfaces, her canvases evoke arboreal forms, bodily traces and the regenerative forces of the living world. The exhibition invites sustained looking at the vegetal as subject and collaborator, exploring scale, gesture and the interdependence of bodies and trees through a subtle palette and material intensity.

Opening Wednesday 20 May.
