Botanical visit and meeting with Ludovic Chemarin©

In 2020, Ludovic Chemarin© published Kentia (Éditions Incertain Sens, 2020), a book entirely dedicated to this plant belonging to the palm family. This widely illustrated book, halfway between the artist’s book, the essay and the catalogue, intended to explore this reminiscence of kentia, as an archetype or a new artifice in the spectacle of art: a plant, of appearance without quality, which entertains and decorates exhibition halls as much as paintings, art fairs as much as installations, collectors' rooms as much as waiting rooms.
At MAC VAL, Ludovic Chemarin© unfolds this reflection in the Salon©, echoing the plants that inhabit the exhibition «Modern Lovers».
