Akira Inumaru

Under the title of Botanique, Akira Inumaru’s exposition at the Orangery in

the Luxembourg Gardens, follows those

at the Elbeuf Museum and the Botanical Garden of Rouen and is an acknowledgement by the art press

of his remarkable work.

​

 

The exposition Botanique presents a series of photographs in which plants are lit on fire in the hands of the artist, as well as paintings and drawings made from a combination of ink and plant material.

In Botanique the artist explores the power of plants in order to create a “portrait”

of those with medicinal properties.
