Praz-Delavallade is pleased to extend an invitation to Soufiane Ababri, Carlotta Bailly-Borg, Micky Clément, Julia Haumont, Thomas Fougeirol, Jim Shaw, Nathan Mabry and Marnie Weber for the exhibition Summer Spirits.
Together, these artists immerse visitors in an ethereal world where the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual are blurred. Their bold and eclectic creations span various mediums, including film, sculpture, and painting, and explore themes of absence, traces, and the fluidity of bodies under the influence of heat. Tangible only under certain circumstances, they reveal our inner worlds, disrupting our lives through diffuse apparitions, recurring thoughts, and repetitive dreams. Their presence is far from trivial; they question our beliefs, values, and anxieties, revealing our deepest desires, fears, and hopes, occasionally delivering messages.
