For his big return to L’ahah, Vincent Hawkins will take over the association’s two exhibition spaces, #Griset and #Moret, at the heart of the 11th arrondissement, Paris, with a double soloshow, Planet & Satellites.

The British artist, whom L’ahah has accompanied since it was created in 2017, offers a unique journey through the different facets of his pictorial practice — whether it be on cardboard, paper or canvas, using various formats ranging from the modest portrait scale to that of history paintings.

This exhibition will be accompanied by a text, written for the occasion by Reverend Richard Davey, senior researcher fellow at the School of Art & Design of the Nottingham Trent University.
