"In her solo exhibition "Botanical Echoes", Laury Denoyes establishes a dialogue with the Eastern symbolism of nature, transcending its role as a mere backdrop—as is often the case in many Western traditions—to make it the central subject: autonomous, vibrant, and worthy of contemplation. Returning to the neighborhood where she lived during her time in Korea, the artist allows colors and seasons to seep into her work, alluding to the sacred bamboo and the ginkgo season.

​

The pieces emerge from a visual and material exploration of nature in the intimacy of the creative process. From hanji paper, made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree, to the inks crafted by the artist through a meticulous process of artisanal experimentation, using only gardenia fruits, sacred bamboo, burnt oak, and pine needles. 
 

Laury Denoyes invites us to an act of deep listening and reverence for what nature offers, to see plants not merely as decorative elements but as organisms that interact with their environment in sophisticated ways. In her compositions, the textures of the paper intertwine with the fluidity of the ink, evoking the harmony and constant transformation of the natural world.

​

Art is not limited to the finished piece but encompasses the process and the materials that shape it. In this sense, it becomes a testimony to the relationship between humans and nature, where the artist does not seek to exert absolute control over every element but rather accompanies them, engaging in a dialogue that allows them to create their own stories."
