Ronchini is proud to present the first ever recreation of As Above so Below, a solo exhibition of works by Paul Jenkins (1923–2012), originally held at the historic 12th-century Cistercian abbey, Abbaye de Silvacane, in the South of France in 2005. The exhibition was held in conjunction with Atelier Cézanne, Aix-en-Provence, which displayed the final painting in the series for the duration of the exhibition. This pairing created a dialogue across generations, linking Jenkins’s fluid abstraction with Cézanne’s exploration of form and light. Grounded in the Provençal landscape, it defines both the context of Cézanne’s practice and the site of Jenkins’s original installation. The works in As Above so Below were created to be uniquely site-specific and contemplative, in Jenkins’s signature abstract style in response to the unique architecture and rich history of the abbey. Presenting them in a gallery context invites a renewed dialogue between painting and space, allowing the works to be experienced both independently and in relation to one another, while echoing the meditative rhythm of their original installation.
