Details
Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a series of three limited edition lithographs by Spanish-born-Brooklyn-based artist Cristina BanBan, titled Le Marais and releasing this Thursday, December 9th at 12 pm EST on our website. BanBan is recognized for her maximalist compositions featuring voluptuous and exaggerated figures in a bold palette of fleshy hues emphasized through wide brushstrokes. In order to create Le Marais, BanBan visited Paris where she worked closely with Deb Chaney Editions and printed at Ateliers Guilbaud.
Despite having lived in Spain and London, this trip was BanBan’s first time to Paris. Through the guidance that Deb, Stéphane and the team provided, BanBan became familiar with the art of lithography, a process into which her work seamlessly translates. When she wasn’t working at the studio, BanBan spent much time exploring the city—its freshness, beauty, and rich history serving as direct inspiration for what would become Le Marais. Le Marais is a district in Paris best known as one of the city’s main localities for art galleries; September of 2021 is when BanBan created the three lithographs.
