Abraham & Wolff is pleased to present a new exhibition by Laura Lamiel. The artist displays an installation specially designed to house her latest series of drawings, L’Herbier. It is based on a matrix of one hundred sheets, from which unframed and framed drawings seem to emerge, along with a poem written by the artist herself. These drawings extend certain themes explored in the Territoires intimes series, such as the root and the rhizome. Inscribed in a subversive history of herbarium practice, they represent an imaginary flora of hybrid and suggestive forms, whose inflorescences unfold following the movements of the ink.

A major artist on the contemporary French scene, Laura Lamiel has been exhibited at La Verrière (Brussels, 2015), the CRAC Occitanie (Sète, 2019) and the Palais de Tokyo (Paris, 2023). She was awarded the AWARE honorary prize in 2022. 

We warmly thank Galerie Marcelle Alix (Paris) for its close collaboration.
