About

"Reminiscence tells a love story between God and a soul: a soul that remembers its first love, and the commitment it made to Him." It is not a meeting, it is a reunion.

Using geometric compositions with bright colors on a black background, influenced by manga, Banksy, Piet Mondrian, and the aesthetics of the Kaaba, KR handwrites in golden ink the meaning of Quranic verses that fascinate her, a Psalm, and personal thoughts, in French and sometimes in other languages, from Yoruba to Indonesian. The journey unfolds in nine stages, from the call to the reunion: each painting tells a chapter.

No work is for sale: they are all already gifted to her family and the people who inspire her, including the Nigerian singer Asake and Imam Badr Al Turki. They are being presented for the first time.

Our take on this event

Lose yourself in a hypnotic series of geometric paintings that blend manga-inspired aesthetics with profound spiritual contemplation. This exhibition unfolds like a soulful letter, using striking contrasts and gold ink to bridge the gap between ancient traditions and modern creative expression. It is a heartfelt invitation to reflect on connection, devotion, and the beauty of unspoken stories.

The exhibition Reminiscence by artist KR takes place at Galerie Le Cerisier from November 22 to December 3, 2026. This nine-part artistic journey depicts a spiritual narrative, exploring the reconnection between a soul and the divine. Through vibrant geometric compositions on dark backgrounds, the artist incorporates handwritten gold-ink verses inspired by sacred texts and personal reflections. Drawing influences from manga aesthetics and the work of Piet Mondrian, this unique collection is open to the public free of charge in the heart of Paris's 4th arrondissement.

Housed within Galerie Le Cerisier, Reminiscence presents a series of artworks structured as chapters of a deeply personal story. KR examines the spiritual bond between a soul and its creator, turning the gallery into a space for contemplation. Each piece features bold geometric patterns on black backgrounds, incorporating diverse influences from the aesthetic of the Kaaba to modern manga styles.

The exhibition is organized into nine stages, featuring calligraphy in gold ink that translates verses from the Quran, Psalms, and original thoughts in various languages, including Yoruba and Indonesian. Inspired by figures such as Nigerian singer Asake and Imam Badr Al Turki, these works are being showcased for the first time and are not for sale, as they have been gifted to the artist's family and inspirations.

The show runs from November 22 to December 3, 2026. Visiting hours are 14:00 to 20:00 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; 14:00 to 21:00 on Thursday; 17:00 to 21:00 on Friday; and 11:00 to 20:00 on weekends. Please note that on the final day, December 3, the gallery will be open from 11:00 to 17:00. Admission is free.
