Paris Exhibitions

‘The Soul Drains the Hand’ marks Enrico David’s debut solo exhibition in Paris, presenting over 20 new works across sculpture, textile and works on paper. The exhibition’s title overturns the well-worn formula of artistic creation: rather than the hand behaving as the channel of the soul, it is the soul that burdens and exhausts the artist’s hand. This inversion resonates with the artist’s ongoing meditation on the porous boundary between inner life and outer form, and on the emotional toll exacted when material is tasked with giving shape to the immaterial.
