Yamamoto Keiko Rochaix is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by Damian Le Bas. The second solo show at the gallery places a significant focus on his cartographic works—an expansive collection of painted maps and globes. Le Bas transformed found maps and globes—ranging from early 20th-century to contemporary pieces—into canvases for his art.
