Benedicte Gimonnet solo show "In Search of Eden"

Bénédicte Gimonnet, 1st TAC Award winner, will take us on a private tour of her solo show "In Search of Eden".

Bénédicte Gimonnet (b. Clermont-Ferrand, France, 1969) painting practice comprises a deliberate explosion of bold colors and technical innovation, Through a recent exploration of

personal issues with identity loss and recovery, the artist reconciled with her repressed Peruvian roots, creating new paintings that depict lush and exuberant rainforest environments whose extravagant vegetation acts as an allegory for the mind, mapping a journey of self-discovery and reconnecting with its roots.
