The bursting onto the contemporary art scene of the Franco-Lebanese artist Christine Safa in 2021 and 2022 has drawn great notice in France and abroad. She joined the Galerie Lelong & Co. when she was 27, where she quickly found a promising position.

Safa's paintings, with their juxtaposition of colours and forms, bear witness to a distant and nostalgic memory and aim to convey recalled feelings. The artist grinds her own colours and prepares her canvas according to a precise alchemy, obtaining a quality of flatness and light that is all her own. She gives life to indefinable and evanescent images, which appear to us as if in a dream. And so, from a seen form is born a marriage of forms revealing a mountain, a tree, a horizon, with fragments of the human figure mixed in: a face, a shoulder, a silhouette.

Miles McEnery Gallery is delighted to present New Paintings, Yunhee Min’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Yunhee Min’s painting process is predominantly horizontal. Laid across the ground of her studio, her linen canvases come alive with her chosen medium of low-viscosity acrylic paints. She pours, sponges, brushes, and rolls pigments across the surface in various stages.
