Kasmin gallery is hosting Éloge de l'ombre (In Praise of Shadows), the second solo exhibition by artist Ralaivao, who recently announced representation with the gallery starting in 2024. The exhibition features a suite of new black and white paintings that showcase Ralaivao's attention to composition, light, and shadow. His portraits and still life tableaux magnify subtle details at large scale through strategic framing, evoking a world of drama and suspense reminiscent of film noir.
