exhibition · 2026-04-02

David Zwirner Gallery has launched a new presentation of works by British painter Rose Wylie at its Paris venue. The show, titled 'Henri, Egypt...Bette, Bear,' features recent and new paintings, multi-panel pieces, and drawings. This marks Wylie's eighth individual exhibition with the gallery and represents her inaugural display in the French capital. Concurrently, a major retrospective of her work is being held at London's Royal Academy of Arts, running through April 19, 2026. Wylie is recognized for her distinctive, vibrant, and lively compositions that initially appear straightforward but reveal thoughtful reflections on visual depiction upon closer examination. Her artistic practice frequently investigates alternative approaches to perspective and composition, moving beyond conventional Renaissance techniques. The exhibition underscores her ongoing exploration of how images are constructed and perceived.
