Memory and time, time and colour, colour and light. Painting is a space where everything else slips away and I am free. — Megan Rooney

Flyer and the Seed is London-based artist Megan Rooney’s first solo exhibition in France. Following the site-specific mural paintings realised recently to great acclaim in the Couleur en Fugue exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in 2022 and for CHILDHOOD at the Palais de Tokyo in 2018, the artist will present a group of new works on canvas in her signature format that corresponds to ‘the wingspan of a woman’. These paintings will be centred around a monumental work on canvas whose scale invokes the all-encompassing presence of her murals. Alongside them will be shown a group of works on paper from Rooney’s ongoing series of abstracted portraits, Old Baggy Root, which take as their inspiration everyday scenes and images which the artist witnesses day-to-day.
