Ketabi Bourdet is delighted to present In Your Pocket, Inès Longevial’s fourth exhibition at the gallery, built around a simple idea: that of the pocket-sized painting. A painting small enough to fit in the hand, be handled or carried around. The body of work presented is the result of an ongoing practice pursued by the artist over the past four years, during which these small-format paintings have gradually accumulated in her studio. By radically reducing the scale of her works, the artist transforms our physical relationship with painting: the painting is no longer simply a surface one stands in front of, but a personal, almost intimate object, its format recalling that of the mobile phone we now constantly hold in our hands.
