Horses graze beneath apple trees. Fields stretch into patchwork plains. A yellow path winds into the hills. The sea glows under a full moon. Léa Le Floc’h’s works is one worth getting lost in. 🐎✨ On view in the gallery’s current exhibition “Before We Knew Better” through June 6.

Léa LeFloc’h is a Paris based artist and illustrator. Her paintings offer a poetic and immersive vision of the landscape, where insects, animals, and human figures coexist in quietly interconnected worlds. Her compositions unfold as open-ended narratives, with details echoing across canvases to create a sense of continuity and gentle storytelling. Expanses of grass, water, and sky invite slow looking, encouraging moments of wandering and reverie. Informed by the inverted perspectives of medieval painting and the writings of Mary Oliver, LeFloch’s work reconsiders our relationship to the natural world, emphasizing attentiveness and presence. She studied at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (2021) and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2023). Recent exhibitions include Galerie Guillaume, Villa Riberolle, Cellectif Mnemosyne, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
