Ensō London was proud to host the mesmerizing exhibition “Trees in Motion”, a collaborative showcase by artists Cythnia Fan and Kamil Szczepaniak, which ran from April 20 to May 18, 2024. This unique exhibition was a celebration of the intersection between art and the natural world, bringing the dynamic relationship between humans and nature into focus.

“Trees in Motion” invited visitors to immerse themselves in an atmosphere where plants served not just as a subject, but as a sculptural medium. Through the thoughtful and experimental works of the artists, the exhibition explored how plant life can become part of an artistic conversation, transcending traditional boundaries of nature and art. By highlighting the intricacies of interspecies communication, the artists emphasized the subtle, often overlooked, interactions we share with the natural world.

The exhibition opened with a fantastic turnout on April 20th, and throughout its run, it continued to draw visitors eager to engage with the powerful message of interconnectedness and environmental awareness. The installations were both visually and emotionally compelling, offering a fresh perspective on the fluidity of nature and the delicate balance we must strive to maintain.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Cynthia and Kamil for their incredible work, as well as to all who attended and supported this exhibition. We hope it left a lasting impression and inspired deeper reflection on the complex relationships we share with the environment.

Stay tuned for more thought-provoking exhibitions and events at Ensō London!

This exhibition delves into the duality held by the identity of plants and extends it to the observation of artistic practices that exist in conversation with the natural world. In working with nature, elements such as leaves; stones; soil; bodies of water and sunlight become a catalyst, a medium and a collaborator. We are as fascinated by the artworks on display themselves as we are with the diverse processes that have led to their formation.We welcome you to view the work of these 10 talented artists whose creative practises exist in conversation with the natural world and in parallel with plants.
