Markus Åkesson at Galerie Da-End, Paris

Solo exhibition | 19 oct - 30 nov 2024

Excerpt from press release:
"At the Da-End gallery, Åkesson's work unfolds with hypnotic intensity. In this in-between world, some figures seem to be orchestrating mystical rituals in symbiosis with a nature that is both enchanting and unsettling, while others appear to float in parallel dimensions. Lush vines, evocative peonies, and Danse Macabre adorn these canvases, sometimes drawing on ancient myths, each telling an enigmatic story. In a misty undergrowth, a woman appears, hiding a bouquet of flowers behind her back. Motionless, her gaze lost in the void, she leaves us wondering: are these flowers a treasure to be preserved or a danger to be avoided?"
