Lewinale Havette: I Love It When You Beg centers the female body as a living archive where power, devotion, rupture, and memory converge. Working with oil sticks, diluted paint, and razor blades to carve and scrape surfaces, Havette's intuitive mark-making produces dense compositions in which figures emerge from — and dissolve back into — expanding fields of color and motion. The exhibition marks a shift toward abstraction: figuration and pure gesture now meld into one another, guided by emotion and the spiritual rather than predetermined composition. The body throughout is simultaneously sovereign and violated, fractured yet whole.
