Booth A12
https://www.drawingnowparis.com/en/
Richard Saltoun Gallery presents a focused booth of drawings by revolutionary women artists who foreground line as a powerful tool for storytelling, resistance and self-definition.
The presentation spotlights Samira Abbassy (b. 1965), whose distinctive compositions explore the human figure, animals, and scenes of war. Drawing on both European and Iranian-Persian artistic traditions, her practice navigates the intersection of the physical and metaphysical self, tracing connections between individual memory and collective history.
Exhibited alongside this will be major works by Anna Perach (b. 1985), who examines female archetypes through personal and cultural myths, alongside pioneering twentieth-century artists Véronique Filozof (1904–1977), Bertina Lopes (1924–2012), and Juliana Seraphim (1934–2005) whose works span the political, introspective and the Surreal.
Together, these artists demonstrate the expressive power of line, exploring the personal and the universal through themes of politics, memory, and identity.
Additional works will be on view by Marie Laurencin (1882-1956), Marcelo Benitez (1951-2022), Francis Picabia (1979-1953) and Xiyadie (b. 1963).
