Sara Flores is one of the world’s eminent Amazonian artists. A member of the Shipibo-Conibo People, a native community within the Peruvian section of the Amazonian basin, she began studying art at 14. Under the guidance of her mother, she was trained in the Shipibo-Conibo tradition of kené—design—that is passed from mothers to daughters within the community. The result is a breathtaking array of intricately designed geometric paintings on textile, a marriage of her Indigenous heritage and modernist immediacy. White Cube presents her first solo exhibition in Paris. —Lucy Horowitz
