The gallery is pleased to present the third solo exhibition of Evi Keller.

German artist Evi Keller was born in 1968 in Bad Kissingen. She lives and works in Paris. From 1989 to 1993, she studied art history at the Ludwig Maximilian University as well as photography and graphic design at the Academy of Photography, both in Munich. Her artistic approach questions the cosmic principle of the transformation of matter by light, bringing together its complexity under the term Matière-Lumière. Matière-Lumière is the only title that Evi Keller has given to her creations over the past 20 years.

The fact that all life on earth is imbued with solar energy inspired the artist with a vision that unites the earth and the sun, leading them to evolve in a perpetual “becoming” over time. It was essential for her to draw on this awareness and find a new artistic form to embody the sun and its constant interaction with us and ultimately, beyond its symbolism, to embody light in its physical and spiritual dimensions. Through her creations, the artist wants to materialize this light, to preserve it, to heighten it and, above all, to transmit this cosmic force, the energy of the celestial fire. Matière-Lumière is the incarnation of the journey of becoming aware of the power of light, not of external light, but of the revolution of an inner light of which the sun is the mirror, in order to take root in a cosmic existence and become a co-creator of a universal process,” says the artist.
