Perrotin Los Angeles is presenting 'Plants and Animals,' a special focus exhibition running from May 1–30, 2026, in conjunction with Kyungmi Shin's solo show 'My Fantasy's Burdens.' The exhibition is anchored by Shin's installation 'ready to fly,' which includes 15 handmade ceramics and planters, and also features works by Theodora Allen, Chiho Aoshima, Amy Cutler, Jean-Michel Othoniel, and Austyn Weiner, all centered on plant, flower, fruit, and animal subjects.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the enduring relevance of nature as a source of artistic inspiration, bringing together a diverse group of contemporary artists in a dialogue about the natural world. It also underscores Perrotin's ongoing commitment to thematic group presentations that complement solo shows, offering visitors a broader context for understanding the artists' practices.
