Mimosa Echard at Galerie Chantal Crousel

A recent discovery by Ocula Advisor Simon Fisher was this wonderfully atmospheric work by Mimosa Echard from her inaugural exhibition Numbs at Galerie Chantal Crousel.

Living and working in Paris, Echard's work looks to reexamine the binary between nature and technology by intermixing organic and manufactured materials through collage; a technique which closely aligns her practice with the appropriated reality and assemblage works of artists of the Nouveau Réalisme movement in 1960s Paris.⁠⁠
