Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are delighted to announce the solo exhibition Contour by Finnish-born, Paris-based artist Henni Alftan. Her first gallery show in London presents new works that continue her exploration into the relation between the medium of painting and the conceptual idea of image-making. In her practice, she examines the threshold where personal connection and recognition transform paint into image and image into meaning. In that sense, Alftan’s paintings act similarly to words as they form our unconscious mind and frame our perception of the outer and inner world.
