About the Event
Filipina-French actress, model and artist Solenn Heussaff will premiere “Our People” at the Pineapple Lab, a solo painting exhibition inspired by Solenn and her family's travels around the world.
At the age of 3 Solenn started formal painting lessons until she turned 18. She has continued to hone her craft since then and has always found solitude in the process. "Painting relaxes my mind and helps me express my emotions without saying a word and without the world's judgments." Solenn's show consists of 25 vibrant and intimate works portraying the unique lives of her subjects; transporting the audience to Myanmar, Africa, and France among others. "Our People will share a piece of my mind through the many souls that have captured my heart, " Solenn adds.
In addition to her paintings, Pineapple Lab will have a preview of Solenn's future design projects and collaborations. Her embroidered cowhide carpet collection will be on display in collaboration with Our Tribe, a Filipino company established in 1972 and has made a name in manufacturing quality leather products.
Solenn also worked with Philux to produce a furniture collection fusing classic pieces with innovative contemporary designs. Her background in fashion design will also come into play as she and a select number of guests will be wearing the artist's designed dresses and unique prints in collaboration with Mia Arcenas during the opening night. A fashion show featuring their collection is slated to launch later this year.
