Then, in the same quarter, you would be surely bewitched by the second thematic exhibition proposed by the Galerie Negropontes. This time and until the 15th October 2022, you may admire a beautiful dialogue between two artists with complementary universes and common influences, despite different creative materials.
For instance, the Swedish capillary artist Ulrika Liljedahl and the French wood sculptor Etienne Moyat are glad to display their last realizations, the time of a certain communion with Nature. Indeed, the first one focuses her art on colorful variations over weaving horsehair while the other one who’s coming directly from Limoges, works on amazing wooden shapes and sculptures.
As far as we can see, both of them use these natural materials by sublimating their best angles and reflects. Thanks to the framework brought to light by the Negropontes Gallery, you may easily contemplate the elegance of those avant-garde but elegant art pieces.
From October 18th until the end of December 2022, the Negropontes Gallery offers you to discover no less than thirty artworks realized by the seven contemporary artists, represented by the structure. On the sidelines of the art fairs where the gallery would be present, such as the Salon Art + Design I New York and Design Miami/ Basel, you have the choice to keep in touch with the Parisian artistic presence.
Therefore, the États d’Art exhibition would introduce you in another way, the various universes of those artists. Once again a particular scenography would be displayed to offer you the best of those colorful conversations where those various original pieces interact with themselves in this contemporary framework.
We follow our art tour in the Left Bank of Paris with the new Legacy exhibition hosted at the Institut Giacometti. This colorful installation brings together unpublished ancient artworks but also recent productions realized by Sophie Ristelhueber, along a group of masterpieces from Alberto Giacometti (photo credits: Institut Giacometti).
For your information, this artist is already internationally renowned for her photographic path around the question of memory and war. Nonetheless, as a complementary contributor, Sophie Ristelhueber offers as well here an interesting reflection around the remains of family memory, settled in specific places and objects of reminiscence.
That’s why, until the November 30th, discover the beautiful art experience proposed by Sophie Ristelhueber, around the persistent role of the family constellation and the environment of her childhood. Thanks to a selection of painted portraits and plaster heads, her own family home is associated with Giacometti‘s native village.
For instance, this is the scene of a certain part of childhood told here and the subject of numerous photographic series. A correspondence between individual experience and human condition get unveiled here, underlying the imagination of two connected artists. A striking face-to-face organized between the photographic series that Sophie Ristelhueber, realized in hospitals on repaired bodies, and the scarified sculptures of Giacometti.

For his come-back in France, the Canadian artist (from Québec) Jean Brillant has chosen to transform the Galerie LOFT, settled in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, into a veritable metallic workshop. Therefore, from October 6th until November 5th 2022, immerse yourself into his monumental realizations, where steel may be either a raw material but also a whole philosophy (photo credits: AL).
With this installation, this inspired and nomad artist invites us to travel in this natural framework, inspired from Canadian rivers and forests. A communion of elements finally represented into those steel sculptures, as a sort of upcycled reincarnation.
Spread between the two locations of this Galerie LOFT, you would have the privilege to get closer to the unique creative process of Jean Brillant. Another dimension from Quebec is offered to you, from a perennial ephemerality, captured the time of a contemplation, where the different materials of metal and stone melt together for an amazing shape.
Strong of a rich international artistic path, the artist tends to share a personal message, where gigantism meets futurism, with a hint of social perspective. Indeed, his studio is situated in a former industrial factory, in the heart of Montreal, where his own Ateliers Jean-Brillant feed a unique meeting point for artists and art enthusiasts.
Galerie LOFT, 3 bis & 4 rue des Beaux-Arts, 75006 Paris (France). More information on the official website.
