Perrotin Los Angeles presents Firstborn, Danielle Orchard’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Orchard’s new paintings explore the fragile, transformative terrain of early parenthood, where intimacy, vigilance, and care unfold amid daily rhythms. Drawing on art history, her lush compositions depict pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering as both physical and symbolic acts of creation. From dramatic, dreamlike depictions of cesarean birth to communal scenes of fertility, Orchard reimagines motherhood with tenderness and complexity.
