exhibition at la mob : color as territory – FRançoise sémiramoth

The DMCC is pleased to open its 2026 season with a major exhibition by Guadeloupean artist Françoise Sémiramoth. Sémiramoth’s work traces an intimate geography: from Guadeloupe to Marseille, via Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Los Angeles, and Williamstown. Each stop has left an indelible mark on her art. Her stay at the Dora Maar House in March 2022 acted as a catalyst, nourishing her practice with decisive encounters and discoveries.

At the heart of her approach lies a passionate exploration of color. The works presented at La Mob illustrate a major evolution: the fusion of her chromatic research with a line work that captures the very essence of places. Sémiramoth’s work is also a work of memory and dialogue. Her art resonates particularly with the words of the great Guadeloupean author Maryse Condé (1934-2024). Through her paintings, Sémiramoth seems to extend Condé’s narratives, weaving an unbreakable link between the visual arts and the power of Caribbean literature.

Frauke V. Josenhans, curator of the exhibition.
