Works by Renée Levi from the Lékélée series can be visited at the 21st edition of Contemporary Istanbul.
“The Lékélée series, created at the end of 2025, follows Lésédy (2024) and continues my process of working in evolving, interlinked series. While Lésédy emerged through a slow, deliberate and carefully composed development, Lékélée marks a turning point — a storm of liberation closely swept through the work. All pieces, large and small, were placed on the floor like landscapes and painted in a single, intense flow. In this process, new layers and shifting spaces appeared — the notions of ‘before’ and ‘beyond’ became visible. The strong colors carry the force of this storm, giving it both volume and a sense of urgency.”
