Waddington Custot presents Retables, an exhibition of new work by French painter Fabienne Verdier (b.1962, Paris, France). In this new series, Verdier breaks from the conventional canvas format and adopts the structure of a winged altarpiece, reimagining it outside of a religious context. No longer connected to any liturgical function, Verdier’s Retables instead employ individual abstract motifs, painted with her iconic large-scale brushes, to evoke individual phenomena of the natural world. Further paintings from the series will be shown in a coinciding exhibition hosted by Galerie Lelong in Paris, bringing to light this remarkable body of work across two cities simultaneously.
