Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais Presents Joan Snyder 'Earthsongs' Exhibition
On June 17, 2026, Thaddaeus Ropac announced that its Paris Marais gallery is hosting "Earthsongs," the first solo exhibition in France by Joan Snyder. The show brings together around twenty paintings and works on paper displayed across both floors of the gallery and features the artist's most recent creations produced over the past year. At 86 years old, Snyder continues her six-decade exploration of abstraction rooted in intimate experience, with works thickened by generous impasto that overflows the canvas.
The Signal
The presentation signals sustained institutional interest in Snyder's autobiographical approach to abstraction, where personal narrative merges with shared experience through materiality, color, and sign. Collectors and curators gain access to recent output that extends her influence on generations of artists by rejecting purely formalist constraints in favor of bodily memory and transcendence. The exhibition reinforces Thaddaeus Ropac's focus on painters who integrate lived contradiction into expansive abstract language.
