La La Lande Gallery
56 rue Quincampoix, 75004 Paris
Presentation of the gallery
La Lande is rooted in utopia and dreams. A world of beginnings and creation, which lends the gallery a name and a lineage.
Galerie La La Lande was founded in 2018. After three years in the fourteenth arrondissement, it moves to the foot of the Pompidou Center, in the heart of rue Quincampoix. A trajectory between the two banks that illustrates a moving crossing. The architecture of the space leads to a two-stage immersion. From the picture rails on the first floor, where the works are hung, nailed or hung, there is a glimpse of a descent that leads to the experimental basement, designed for hybrid arrangements. Here, subterranean worlds open up, invisible to the naked eye. Waiting for the gaze that will awaken them, they close.
The gallery showcases artists from the MENA region, whose work is both poetic and political. What they have in common is wandering, exile and quest. Questions and challenges to identity, gender, norms and departure. What they have in common are narrative figurations and societal art. Wave-like musicalities that sway between distorted or symmetrical forms.
Présentation du projet
Sarah Navasse is a French artist whose practice is centered on drawing, a medium she explores through graphite, collage and the superimposition of images to question the body, memory, intimate and symbolic narratives. Trained in art history (Paris 1 - Sorbonne) and then awarded an MFA in Washington, she has developed a graphic universe combining fragmented human figures, hybridizations between humans, animals and plants, and games of opacity or transparency that create an atmosphere that is at once dreamlike, carnal and introspective. Her approach, which renews figurative art by enriching it with historical references, myths and everyday images, is fully in keeping with the spirit of Drawing Now Paris, an international event dedicated to contemporary drawing in all its forms. Indeed, this fair showcases artists for whom drawing is not just a tool, but a field for conceptual and narrative exploration - which is precisely what defines Sarah Navasse's research.
