For Calisté, her first solo show at the gallery Laura Garcia Karras will present a new series of oil paintings with floral and organic motifs. Her works radiate a luminous intensity and are distinguished by their chromatic richness. Representative of her work, this vibrant new series explores the vitality of the natural world.
Laura Garcia-Karras, born in 1988, is a painter whose work explores the boundaries of pictorial matter and the relationship between representation and nature. After studying at the La Cambre school in Brussels and the Beaux-Arts of Paris, she was honoured by the Crédit Agricole Foundation and was awarded the Prix Antoine Marin in 2018. Currently resident at Poush Manifesto in Aubervilliers, in 2024 she presented a solo exhibition at MO. CO. Montpellier Contemporain.
Her work, focused on painting, questions the materiality of the medium through processes that blend figuration and abstraction. Her exploration of plant motifs, particularly flowers, goes beyond simple aesthetic representation to transcend their symbolism. For her, painting becomes a space for reflection, both poetic and philosophical. Using techniques that combine clean surfaces and free brushstrokes, she creates compositions that play with light and depth, superimposing scalpel-cut shapes and flat areas of colour.

The gallery
Founded in 2016 in Paris (Le Marais), Galerie Anne-Sarah Bénichou represents 14 artists of different generations, French and foreign, emerging and confirmed. The great diversity of practices and origins of these artists contributes to promoting individualities with a singular view of the world, and to instituting a dialogue between different eras and varied art forms.
Each exhibition seeks to question the sensibility of the world, and more specifically the place and form of contemporary art in our society. For the past nine years, the gallery has found its place on the french and international scene, among collectors and art professionals, by pursuing a single goal: a commitment to culture, the arts and artists.
The gallery participates in numerous fairs in France and abroad: Art Basel, Paris Photo, Arco Madrid, Art Brussels, Art Paris, Independent, Art Genève, Artissima, etc.
