WHERE EVERYTHING GROWS

EXHIBITION I JUNE 3 – OCTOBER 5, 2026

ICICLE Cultural Space Paris presents Where Everything Grows, a solo exhibition by Zhenchen Liu, whose practice encompasses painting, installation, video and digital media. In these works, organic matter and generative systems are enmeshed around the governing theme of transformation. 

Bringing together recent works from the Panacea and Kaleidoscope series, the exhibition places into dialogue two bodies of work that appear radically different but are driven by the same principle: perpetual metamorphosis.

In Panacea, Zhenchen Liu works with medicinal plants, minerals and mushrooms, grinding and transferring living matter onto natural cotton paper. Colour migrates slowly across the surface, preserving the memory and symbolic healing power of the original organisms. Kaleidoscope, in contrast, presents digitally generated images transposed onto lenticular surfaces, creating hypnotic effects of depth, movement and perceptual instability.

Between digital proliferation and organic absorption, Where Everything Grows exploits the fertile tension at the core of Zhenchen Liu’s practice: precision versus chance, meditative contemplation versus sensory vibration.
