Perrotin Gallery

The group exhibition Cache-cache (Hide and Seek) brings together for the first time at the gallery works by Adrian Geller, Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Dora Jéridi, Nino Kapanadze, and Elené Shatberashvili.

Nino Kapanadze

Born in 1990 in Tbilisi, Georgia

Lives and works in Paris, France

With her great mastery of color and line, she creates intimate scenes, sometimes populated by ghostly figures depicting an often utopian and fantastical family iconography. But for this young artist, the theme is only a pretext for powerful and unrestrained pictorial expression: she refuses to choose between figuration and abstraction seeking above all emotion and freedom through her relentless painting practice.

One of her paintings is: 

The Night Is Darkening Around Me (d'après poème de Emily Brontë; autoportrait d'adolescence), 2022
