Steve Turner is pleased to present Trenza, a solo exhibition by Florine Imo which features new paintings that depict her braided hair and that of her friends and are inspired by themes of interconnectedness, collectivity and sharing. “Trenza,” Spanish for braid, is a potent symbol in the Mexican culture of her boyfriend where it represents indigenous heritage and femininity. According to Imo, “Braiding each other’s hair is a source of comfort and it represents our interwoven lives. Nothing exists in isolation. Every action affects the whole. One is all, and all is one.

Florine Imo (born 1995, Vienna) earned a combined BA and MA from Vienna Academy of Art (2023). She has had solo exhibitions at Steve Turner, Los Angeles (2023); Hew Hood Gallery, London (2023) and LBF Contemporary, London (2024). Her works have also been included in group exhibitions at ALBA Gallery, Vienna; JPS Gallery, Tokyo; Shin Haus, New York; MISA, Mallorca; Weserhalle, Berlin and Gallery Zherro, Paris. Imo lives and works in Vienna and London.
