The form does not exist by itself - it arises in contact: with the body, with the psyche, with the material and with the viewer.
Immanence explores form as a process rather than a fixed result. Across painting and sculpture, the exhibition brings together the works of Lala Drona, Anja Rausch, and Leo Orta, whose practices investigate how meaning, sensation, and form emerge from within material, bodily, and perceptual experience.
Rooted in the philosophical idea of immanence, the exhibition proposes that form does not exist independently or in advance, but arises through contact: with the body, the psyche, matter, and the viewer. Here, artworks remain in a state of becoming, shaped by accumulation, intuition, vulnerability, and transformation rather than resolved into stable images or objects.
Lala Drona approaches painting as a living, bodily field shaped by gesture, memory, and lived experience, particularly drawing from reconstructive surgeries and their physical and emotional traces.
Anja Rausch’s intuitive painting practice unfolds through gradual perception, allowing forms to surface between figuration and abstraction, evoking shifting scales from the microscopic to the cosmic. Leo Orta’s sculptural works combine industrial processes, organic forms, and psychoanalytic inquiry, creating objects that oscillate between function and metaphor, familiarity and emotional
exposure.
Together, the artists articulate a shared interest in fragility, incompleteness, and transformation as productive states.
Immanence positions the exhibition space as a site of encounter, where personal experience, material processes, and perception intersect -inviting viewers to engage with form not as something to decode, but as something to experience in motion.

About the Artists
Lala Drona is a Franco-American artist of Venezuelan heritage, based between Paris and London, and a graduate of the Royal College of Art (MA Painting). Her work explores the “Abject Feminine” through visceral, digitally inflected paintings that stage the body as unstable, excessive, and posthuman. She has exhibited internationally, including her 2024 solo show Virtual Reverence at Elios Gallery, Paris.
Leo Orta (b. 1993, Paris) is an Anglo-Argentine artist living and working in France between Paris and Les Moulins. A graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven (2019), his multidisciplinary practice bridges art and design to explore human existence, emotional bonds, and environmental change. Through material-driven, intuitive processes grounded in recycling, life-cycle thinking, and bio-design, Orta investigates the shifting states of living beings within industrial, social, and ecological systems. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the FRAC, Van Abbemuseum, Stedelijk Museum, and FIAC.
Anja Rausch (b. 1992, Aschaffenburg) is a Berlin-based artist working with drawing and oil painting. Her delicate, luminous works draw from an intuitively developed visual language rooted in personal perception and long- standing artistic practice. Educated in painting in Bavaria and later in Visual Communication at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Rausch expanded her practice into spatial installation and scenography between 2017 and 2022. Since 2024, she has been pursuing an MFA at HFBK Hamburg in Jorinde Voigt’s class. She has exhibited internationally, with her first solo exhibition Morbid Orbit in Berlin (2023) and her first institutional exhibition at CICA Museum, South Korea (2025).
