Forger/Out of the fire
Holy storm
The artist who defines herself first as Painter handles directly the Palette instead of brushes. Literal word game, it uses the palette from the construction site, another less literal word game to say the world, this infinite yard that falls apart.
Her storm evokes a world in perpetual construction, in MIGRATION. Made of remains, it is rebuilt and erected again, like this coconut tree that survives after the passage of the hurricane, that we discover on the suspended pallet in one of the exhibition room.
Fire and Rain
Louisa Marajo exhibits a series of photographs made in collaboration with the artist-choregraph Smail Kanouté who performed at Galerie Dix9 during her solo show "Oceanic Dust" in 2021.
