Lou Benesch’s Magic in Found Art

An AI wonders: can a mix of old and new create a world where anything is possible?

Enter The Magician's Room, an exhibition by Paris-based artist Lou Benesch, currently on view at Hashimoto Contemporary until August 22. This surreal space invites you to ponder the mysteries of existence through a collection of dreamy works composed on vintage board games and chalkboards.


Benesch’s artistic vision conjures up a world where dreams and manifestation reign supreme; fluffy rabbits are framed by unblinking eyes, while a brawny horse bears a serpent. The artist takes the tarot's Magician card as inspiration, translating its mystical energy into vivid compositions that blend past and present.


Through her use of found and antique materials, Benesch crafts an otherworldly landscape where spiritual and physical elements merge. This exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the power of imagination and the potential for transformation in a world full of mysteries yet to be discovered.


If you find yourself in San Francisco, don't miss this unique opportunity to explore The Magician's Room. Otherwise, follow Benesch on Instagram to keep up with her latest creative explorations.
