Fragmented images to reflect a world in constant change... At Drawing Lab in Paris, the exhibition All Parts Of Us by Susanna Inglada is on display from February 13 to May 10, 2026. The artist brings together a series of recent works in an immersive journey where drawing goes beyond paper to occupy space. Installations, drawings, ceramics, and videos create a compelling dialogue that explores contemporary tensions through direct and symbolic imagery. The exhibition transforms the space into an environment of movement and contemplation, inviting visitors to confront scenes that challenge perceptions of collective life and individual perspective.
The title All Parts Of Us reflects the theme of fragmentation, which lies at the heart of Susanna Inglada's work. This fragmentation is both formal and conceptual. The artworks depict bodies, gestures, and situations broken into pieces, which only gain meaning when reunited within a shared whole. Some installations serve as guiding landmarks throughout the exhibition, such as Forest, a woodland of threatening hands symbolizing both unity and conflict, or Ojos Cerrados (Closed Eyes), a collage of figures with their eyes shut, suggesting blindness or a refusal to see. The artist’s theatrical approach to storytelling directly shapes this staging of expressive figures, envisioned as archetypes of the present moment.
The works on display employ a variety of mediums, from pencil drawings on paper to ceramics and animated videos. One piece reinterprets the biblical story of Susanna and the elders, drawing on references from art history, from Goya to Paula Rego. These references enable Susanna Inglada to explore themes related to the male gaze, power dynamics, and gender inequalities without resorting to overt didacticism. A subtle sense of humor runs throughout the exhibition, providing a lightness that balances the more serious subjects.
The exhibition also invites viewers to reflect on their role within the space. Visitors are not relegated to passive observers; instead, they are encouraged to move through the space, connect the various fragments, and compare the images with one another. The layout acts as a collective stage, where each piece contributes to a broader understanding of current tensions, without forcing a single, definitive interpretation.
Born in 1983 in Banyeres del Penedès, Spain, Susanna Inglada currently lives and works in Amsterdam. She studied at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, then at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, followed by the Frank Mohr Institute and the HISK in Belgium. Her work has been showcased at numerous international venues, including the Museum Folkwang, Rotterdam’s Kunsthal, BOZAR, and the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. Recognized with several awards, she received the Drawing Now Award in 2025, which is being celebrated through this exhibition at the Drawing Lab.
As part of a partnership between Drawing Now Paris and the Frac Picardie, All Parts Of Us continues in Amiens with a series of exhibitions spread between the Maison de la Culture d’Amiens, starting March 3, 2026, and Frac Picardie from March 13, 2026. A joint opening will take place on this date, featuring a dedicated shuttle service departing from the Drawing Lab. It’s a chance to explore the work of Susanna Inglada across multiple venues and to extend the dialogue sparked in Paris.
