House Visit Series No.2: Iris Garagnoux | Mayfair, London | By Appointment Only

Daa Art is pleased to continue with their new exhibition format, which will take place through a series of home visits held in Mayfair. Every month, one artist is chosen to be the protagonist of the House Visit Series, giving them full focus and platform to showcase their recent works. Full details on address and available slots are shared to the visitor once in contact to book a visit with one of the Daa Art team. For more information please visit www.daa-art.com.

The second artist chosen for the House Visit Series, is Iris Garagnoux.

Iris’ practice is focused on the plasticity of the human body, which is torn between a deep desire to reconnect with nature while also evolving with new technologies. Painting allows the artist to create a repertoire of gestures, which she then transcribes into sculptural and performative fragments such as body extensions which through a play with transparency, create the illusion of a 3D work with aspects of it getting out of the canvas stretching out to the viewer. By layering organic and synthetic elements, new semiotic colours and textures appear considering societal relationships and the tension between the living and the non-living. By exploring Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s concept «Un corps sans organe» (A body without Organs), Garagnoux seeks to make visible an organic interiority which is never fixed and without a proper organisation. She tries to transcribe states of in-betweenness, vulnerability, and corporal energetic fluids, emanating from the physical and unseen worlds.

Garagnoux has graduated from her Master’s degree at the Chelsea College of Arts, UAL in 2021. She has soon after had her first solo show titled ‘Choreographic Sequence’ in Cork Street. Other selected shows she participated in are ‘Faire histoire’ held in H Galerie, Paris, France; ‘London Grads NOW’ held at Saatchi Gallery in London; TATE Britain’s TATE Lates ‘Constructing Landscapes’, virtual show; and more. She has been featured in British VOGUE, online and printed magazine, ‘Vogue Gallery’ in 2023; in W Magazine, ‘Abstract Art by Women’ by Alex Needham in 2023; ‘Body E(Motions)’, online magazine, News & Events, Sotheby’s Institute of Art in 2020 and Galeries & Musées, Paper magazine, ‘Vu pour vous dans les galeries’, Art galleries market in 2019, amongst others publications.
