Etel Adnan
Parler aux fleurs

Past: November 22, 2018 → January 19, 2019

For this exhibition, Etel Adnan has produced a dozen dense and lively small round paintings, with a particularly supple and ample feel, focused on a single subject: flowers. When asked why she had chosen this topic, her answer was: “it came to me like that.” The shape of these round flowers easily fits into the circular format of the works — a circle within a circle. To complete this group of tondi, she has added some rectangular paintings in just two colours, rather like painted drawings.

To accompany the exhibition, Galerie Lelong & Co. is publishing a short book that pairs the paintings with a choice of poems taken from the Cycle des tilleuls (2012).

An important monography on her work has just been published by Lund Humphries.
