Looking at Horizons

Jun 5 — Sep 19, 2025 | Monaco

Opening on Thursday, June 5, 2025 from 6 to 8 pm

Almine Rech Monaco is pleased to present the group exhibition 'Looking at Horizons,' on view from June 5 to September 19, 2025.

'Looking at Horizons,' held at Almine Rech Monaco from June 5, 2025, explores contemporary manifestations of landscape painting. It will host works by Joël Andrianomearisoa, Miquel Barceló, Alejandro Cardenas, Petra Cortright, Johan Creten, Genieve Figgis, Daniel Gibson, Youngju Joung, Scott Kahn, Minjung Kim, John McAllister, Anthony Miler, César Piette, Salvo, Gert & Uwe Tobias, and Jess Valice. Through the diversity of their inspiration and research, they celebrate landscape as a complex pictorial genre that questions the material aspects of a territory as much as the way we look at it. 

At a time of great climatic challenges, these artists invite us to observe living things and spaces with curiosity, delicacy, and care, for landscape painting is both a window on nature, and a mirror reflecting our relationship with it. Investigating landscape today is giving a form to our collective concerns, questioning our perception of nature, and the condition of painting itself. 

Whether they pay homage to the history of the genre or they inaugurate a new relationship with the land, whether they address technological concerns or metaphysical intuitions, the works presented here embody the challenges of their epoch. A tribute to the celebrated landscapes of the Côte d'Azur, and a panorama of contemporary painting, ‘Looking at Horizons’ is much more than an ode to nature: it is an invitation to look at it with more care.
