Esther Schipper is pleased to present Walk with Me, an exhibition by Scottish artist Martin Boyce, hosted at the gallery space of Natalie Seroussi. This exhibition coincides with Unhome, the artist’s second solo exhibition with Esther Schipper, simultaneously on view at 16 Place Vendôme.
The title Walk with Me references David Lynch’s film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992), a landmark work known for its enigmatic atmosphere and refusal of a singular interpretation. Like the filmmaker, Martin Boyce embraces ambiguity, inviting viewers into a theatrical, disorienting, and emotionally charged dialogue with his work. This also echoes the approach of artists from the Surrealist movement, several of whose works will be presented alongside Boyce’s own pieces, selected by the artist from the Natalie Seroussi collection.
The theme of fire, although omitted from the title, runs through the exhibition as a symbolic red thread.
Solo show of Martin Boyce
From May 23rd to July 26th, 2025
The gallery
Natalie Seroussi opened her gallery on Rue de Seine in 1983. From the very beginning, the program has been dedicated to establishing dialogues between different movements in modern and contemporary art history.
Originally specializing in Surrealism, the gallery promotes the work of Francis Picabia, Jean Arp, and Alexander Calder, while also supporting the avant-garde movements of the 1960s, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, and Kiki Kogelnik.
With the arrival of Julien Seroussi in 2017, the gallery has initiated new conversations, beginning with the exhibition Franz West | Thu Van Tran, followed by Calder | Tomás Saraceno and Kings of Kin (Bodys Isek Kingelez, Moké, Chéri Samba).
