Husband and wife Eddie Ruscha and Francesca Gabbiani join forces for the first time for a series of new, kaleidoscopic works on paper. Displayed mostly around the bed in London gallery Cedric Bardawil’s hotel room, which the London dealer is sharing with Sydney space LAILA, the works fuse both artists’ signature styles. Ruscha’s psychedelic gradients serve as rhythmic backdrops for Gabbiani’s intricate cut-paper depictions of flowers.

 

“They’re very much about the landscape of Los Angeles, that feeling of a certain time of day, the effervescence of a sunrise, sunset, and the Californian light—it’s quite unique,” said Bardawil, who has shown both artists independently at his gallery.

 

Echoes (2025) is a striking example of this juxtaposition of organic and optical elements. The work focuses on a cut-paper flowering stalk, rendered with almost sculptural precision, surrounded by undulating waves of pinks and ochers. The small work appears to pulse outward, giving the impression of motion—as if the paper itself is responding to the plant.
