The First Garden is a solo exhibition of new work by Paulin Paris. Drawing on philosophy and sustained encounters with nature, the exhibition centers on the Tapis de feuilles series, large-scale paintings inspired by forest floors where layered leaves form rhythmic fields of color. Subtle faces emerge within the foliage, establishing a reciprocal gaze between viewer and image and reflecting on consciousness, presence, and the boundary between artwork and lived environment. The exhibition is curated by Sabine Paris.
