THE NEW exhibition critiques society’s response to mental illness in the modern day, whilst also serving as a medium of emotional expression for the artist, Ayane Yamamoto. Fusing ancient Greek mythology with a distinct modernist flare, the exciting exhibit is surely one which will resonate with some and educate others.

Set to open in Paris’ Rue Saint-Claude, the event has been carefully curated by Lisa Boudet. Following on from the success of her Lucky Charm exhibit in London back in November 2021, their latest venture hopes to arouse an emotional response and deep sense of intrigue within the viewer.
