LooLooLook Gallery

LooLooLook Gallery, a contemporary art gallery located in the 1er arrondissement of Paris, presents the solo exhibition of Biru ZHAO from 10 September to 10 October 2026. Biru ZHAO Transformer la pierre en or 10 September — 10 October 2026 LooLooLook Gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Biru ZHAO. Transformer la pierre en or LooLooLook Gallery presents Transformer la pierre en or, an exhibition that forms part of its program dedicated to the dialogue between contemporary European and Asian practices. Through this new series, Zhao Biru pursues a reflection on the transformations of matter, gesture and gaze, bringing ink, paper, stone and memory into dialogue. Her work explores the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, between fragility and strength, matter and light. Born in Chine into a family of artists, trained at the Université du Sud du Yangtsé and then at the École supérieure d'Art et de Design d'Amiens, Zhao Biru has lived and worked in France for over twenty years. Her career, nourished by Chinese calligraphy and contemporary painting, has shaped a singular visual language in which power and gentleness are balanced. Ink remains at the heart of her language, but it now goes beyond the framework of painting to take over space. In Transformer la pierre en or, recycled paper, fragile and destined to be thrown away, is transformed into mineral volumes of astonishing lightness. It becomes stone, relief and sculpture, while ink turns into matter and the calligraphic gesture becomes space. Suspended on the wall, these works invite us to reconsider our relationship to value, time and transformation. Zhao Biru does not seek to create an illusion, but to shift our perception and provoke wonder. Her creative process rests on a dialogue between intuition, water, breath and movement. Without any preparatory drawing, each work is born of a balance between mastery and chance, in the spirit of the circulation of Qi. Lines of gold then cross the dark surfaces like breaths or bursts of light, revealing what seemed hidden. With this exhibition, Zhao Biru takes a new step in her career: she transforms matter to better reveal the invisible and invites the viewer to look differently at what surrounds them. _ Opening Thursday, 10 September 2026 6pm — 9pm In the presence of the artist.
