Cristina BANBAN

Perrotin is pleased to present Cristina BanBan’s second exhibition with the gallery and her first in Paris. For this occasion, the artist favors a gestural and expressive language to represent the human figure.
Born and raised in Barcelona and based in New York (by way of London),
BanBan’s paintings present visual murmurs and echoes of her own
geographical journey.
Elements associated with European modernist figuration merge with a gestural abstraction more often associated with the postwar American avant garde. This exhibition showcases BanBan’s fertile painting practice—a place where rapid experiments in expression define forms that emerge and withdraw from the canvases amidst a rapid aura of brushstrokes.
