About

Statement

Marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in France, ‘Ectopia’ presents new paintings and works on paper that develop the artist’s exploration of performance and theatricality as responses to structures of power.

Press Release

In this exhibition, the artist focuses on the concept of spectacle and the figure of the hero that emerges from it. Through her works of acrylic, oil and beeswax, Savdie looks to intersections between the biological world and the folkloric to address modes of adaptation and survival, while challenging encoded binaries such as predator/prey, pleasure/disgust and verity/artifice.
