Galerie de l’Est – Darya Brient is pleased to present Abstraction, State of Sensation, a solo exhibition dedicated to the artist Laurence Granger. The exhibition brings together works from three key periods of her abstract research : the 1980s, the 2000s, and the 2020s, offering a unique journey through forty years of creation.
Since the early 1980s, Laurence Granger has been exploring an inhabited abstraction, where pictorial gesture, color, and light become the vectors of a free, vibrant, and profoundly sensitive language. Her work, nourished by Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction, unfolds without preparatory drawing, in an immediate relationship with matter. Far from any formalism, her oeuvre oscillates between control and release, raw energy and subtle balance. It is within this tension, between duality and unity, movement and silence, construction and spontaneity, that the artist asserts her freedom. A freedom achieved through format, through series, through the very act of making, inviting the viewer to enter a “state of sensation,” to feel rather than to understand.
