The latest exhibition now on view at Gagosian Beverly Hills, which opened this past weekend, is not your typical gallery show. Immediately upon entering the art gallery on N. Camden Drive, the viewer is startled by the uneven concrete floor that looks like a tectonic tragedy or the result of careless wielder of a jackhammer who haphazardly attempted to relayer the slabs. The exhibition “On the Eve of Never Leaving,” featuring new drawings and sculptures by Paris-Based artist Tatiana Trouvé in her first L.A. exhibition, is in fact something quite novel for the gallery – and really, for any local gallery.
“Tatiana’s installation at Gagosian is highly poetic and engaging,” described Deborah McLeod, Director at Gagosian. “We hear visitors gasp when they enter. One first experiences disorientation; the artist swapping indoors for out, memory for reality, the natural world for the man-made. This disruption to the real world creates a surreal dream state experience that reveals the uneasy intersection between humanity and the natural world.”
