For her debut exhibition in Paris, Megan Gabrielle Harris has created twelve exclusive acrylic paintings on canvas, specially conceived for this show at Artcurial.

Inspired by the album Only When I'm Dreaming by soul singer Minnie Riperton—her soundtrack while painting—this deeply personal series reflects the artist’s life experiences and dreamlike visions.

Deeply personal, these new pieces draw inspiration from the artist’s life experiences and contemplative states, highlighting the power of projection and the acceptance of both light and darkness. Dark clearings and window-like openings reveal illuminated havens of peace.

A kaleidoscope of soft pastel tones envelops these dreamlike landscapes, transporting viewers into an enchanting realm of endless surreal and meditative elements. Her muses, as serene as the idyllic settings they inhabit, are often draped in flowing silk robes and dressing gowns, mirroring the gentle movement of distant lakes and valleys they gaze upon in quiet reflection.

Megan Gabrielle Harris is an Afro-American artist of Nigerian descent, born in 1990 in Sacramento. Painter, photographer, and model, she creates dreamlike, pastel-hued, and enchanting landscapes where Black women surrender to moments of contemplation.

Previously showcased in a solo exhibition at De Buck Gallery in New York in 2022 and featured at art fairs in Miami, Chicago, London, and Madrid, Megan Gabrielle Harris is increasingly sought after by collectors of contemporary African art. Her multidisciplinary approach has also led to collaborations with prestigious brands such as Nike, Bergdorf Goodman, and Veuve Clicquot.
