ABOUT THIS SALON

Please join us for a conversation with artist Mira O’Brien on the occasion of her solo exhibition at Galerie Hell. O’Brien’s paintings explore our evolving relationship with nature and plants in the age of AI and climate change. Her interdisciplinary practice spans both art and pedagogy, as she seeks to shift our perception of ecology and the way it intersects with our lives. Using the 17th century sub-genre of Sottobosco (forest floor) painting as her starting point, she seeks to challenge the paradigm of the early-Enlightenment era in order to imagine alternative futures that blur the boundaries between natural and artificial.

Hendrik Backerra will engage Mira O’Brien in a conversation about her work, a conversation that we invite you to be part of. The exhibition tour and conversation will be followed by an informal reception with drinks and snacks.
