Kasmin presents Éloge de l’ombre (In Praise of Shadows), a solo exhibition of new black-and-white paintings by Alexis Ralaivao, opening May 15, 2025. Working with stark contrasts and careful composition, Ralaivao draws inspiration from film noir and classical painting to create intimate portraits and still lifes. His use of light and darkness evokes suspense and emotion, capturing fleeting moments with cinematic precision and a deep sense of atmosphere and human presence.
