This contemporary abstract painting features a vibrant blend of soft, pastel hues, including shades of pink, peach, and brown.

Sequoia Scavullo’s art inhabits the space between dream and reality, emotion and abstraction. Her figurative paintings verge on the abstract, with layered textures evoking water, hair, fabric, or half-seen figures, all emerging from expressive, dense surfaces. Drawing from her Taíno heritage, she embraces a holistic worldview—where dreaming and waking are indistinguishable—and channels this into works that meld mind, body, and spirit, countering Western dualism. Central to her practice is the creation of a personal, symbolic alphabet—hieroglyph-like signs that populate her canvases. These symbols straddle intelligibility and abstraction, suggesting that painting can convey emotional nuance beyond language. Scavullo uses color, texture, and form to evoke emotional states. Her layered paint surfaces, often near total saturation of materiality, give rise to synesthetic experiences that feel both corporeal and otherworldly. Through her interplay of symbolism, dream logic, and material presence, she invites viewers into inner landscapes where the invisible, the intuitive, and the unspeakable become palpably present. ...

Sans titre
Paris

Sans titre is a gallery based in Paris. It initially operated as a project space and after three years of a nomadic existence (2016 – 2019) and numerous atypical spaces occupied (private apartments, industrial spaces, parking lots, a shipyard, a few hotel rooms, restaurants, etc.), Sans titre moved into a permanent address and embraced the gallery model. It is now located 13, rue Michel Le Comte, a few steps from the Centre Pompidou, in a former Restoration-era bar, whose facade is registered as a Historic Monument. Throughout, Sans titre works to promote international artists in the early stages of their careers. Alongside organizing exhibitions in a multidisciplinary approach, the gallery publishes fanzines, produces edition and creates events related to the represented artists. ...
