Inès Longevial unveils her first monograph, published by Rizzoli New York. Sketches, works, studio views… the monograph “Inès Longevial” plunges readers into the painter’s poetic universe. Escape guaranteed.
Passionate about art from an early age, Inès Longevial realised her dream of becoming one of the most talented painters of her generation. It was undoubtedly her majestic “Sous le soleil” exhibition in Los Angeles that truly propelled her career to new heights.
In her melancholy self-portraits, the artist expresses herself freely, mixing colours and materials with a fauvist twist. Her colourful paintings magnificently express a liberated body, which categorically refuses to conform to society’s expectations or constraints.
To write the texts for her monograph, Inès Longevial called on two talented curators: the American Lola Kramer and the French Elise Roche. The preface, meanwhile, was imagined by poet and author Line Papin, a long-standing friend of Inès Longevial.
The release of this new opus coincides with “Perchée”, Inès Longevial’s exhibition at the Ketabi Bourdet gallery in Paris’ 6th arrondissement, from October 13 to November 11.
