One of the most beautiful series in Martine Sitbon’s A#5 is a selection of intermingled artworks by Anita Pallenberg, Nick Knight , Jean-François Lepage and Stephan Aldrich, which blends with an odd cohesion of washed colour and organic form. Entitled ‘Animal Botanical’, the collection is filled with rounded, shadowed silhouettes, rich shading and a fantasy air. Anita Pallenberg’s drawing ‘anemone’ gives a floral still life the crawling, curling tendrils of a sea creature, and Jean-François Lepage’s wall of Repetto ballet slippers are stitched together, the shoes buckled and wavy – lined up like pores on skin.

Photographer Nick Knight’s ‘Roses’ series are extreme close ups that capture the construction of petals and the play of light on the delicate colours of this revered flower. These sit alongside British artist Stephan Aldrich’s collage work of 19th century woodcuts of peasant life and woodland animals that appear larger than life.

The entire mix is heady and potently beautiful, speaking an archaic language that harks to old artisanal techniques, celtic fairytale, impressionist painting and a touch of the surreal.
