PARIS // EXHIBITION: LOUISE CARA


Some thirty original works, paintings, prints, totems and lithographies by Louise Cara exhibited from 28 November to 31 January 2019. These works have been selected from her series « Traits, Tectonic, Unité and Pavés Mosaïc ».

The singularity of her technique lies in the choice of her materials and tools. It results in the exclusive use of an intense and deep black Japanese ink and a unique pigment, slate, fixed by a natural binder. The writing of her works is made up of signs, drawn mainly with a spatula and a calligraphy brush. Louise Cara seeks to strike a balance in oppositions: black/white, full/empty, soft/hard, horizontal/vertical. As if to install graphically a harmony of contrasts.
