In his installations and creations, the artist... Read more -
ART IS A SERIOUS GAME
Group show 16 May - 15 Jun 2024 PARIS DURING PARIS GALLERY WEEKEND Here, walls have ears - be very careful what you say - heroes, a bit of belly, still lifes are reborn and illusions make sure they're clearly visible. Elsewhere, around 1483, Sandro Botticelli put the finishing touches to his Venus and Mars. The work, long and... Read more -
CANDIDI TIBI SOLES
Margaux Laurens-Neel 27 Jan - 27 Feb 2024 PARIS The Roman poet Catullus wrote the line 'fulsere quondam candidi tibi soles' (once, white suns shone for you), to express, although still very young, his despair due to a fallen love. With as much mischief as understanding, and above all a passion for ancient poetry, the just as young artist... Read more -

Willehad Eilers 9 Dec 2023 - 16 Jan 2024 PARIS Willehad Eilers paints bodies overflowing with wine, desires and feelings.

LOVE MAGIC
Lydia Maria Pfeffer 17 Jun - 12 Aug 2023 PARIS Lydia Maria Pfeffer re-imagines classic mythology, fables, and fairy tales through a contemporary and feminist lens, creating new worlds, that echo memories and familiarity.

MUSCLE MANIACS - no paint no gain
André Wendland 13 May - 12 Jun 2023 PARIS Color is the main theme in this first solo exhibition by André Wendland at Galerie Droste Paris.

WHAT WE DID WHEN THE SUN TURNED GREEN
Laust Højgaard 25 Mar - 6 May 2023 PARIS The title “What We Did when the Sun Turned Green“, chosen by Laust Højgaard immediately imposes a post-apocalyptic climate.

This familiarity, perhaps, comes from the timeless material offered to... Read more -

In echo to this sometimes unfortunate warning directed against,... Read more -
ÉCHOS
Group show 26 Nov 2022 - 14 Jan 2023 PARIS ÉCHOS was born from the search for a name that could represent several ideas: a parallel to the Chronicles exhibitions organized in Germany, the twin nature and resonance of the two galleries in Düsseldorf and Paris, and the play on the notion of duo, response, binomial. This is how «... Read more -
SODA CON VISTA
Tim Sandow 22 Oct - 21 Nov 2022 PARIS SODA CON VISTA is an exhibition that does not leave one indifferent: it makes the unspeakable sadnesses and the outrageous banalities speak. The two notions often come together in Tim Sandow's paintings, to give birth to a great fresco full of observations and questionings. The artist paints a daily life... Read more -
WAKE UP!
Denise Rudolf Frank 10 Sep - 15 Oct 2022 PARIS Wake up! - through this lightning raid of a title in form of an affirmative call to action, we are indeed invited to a collective enlightenment by the Viennese artist Denise Rudolf Frank.

WHERE EAGLES DARE
Conrad Ruiz 14 May - 9 Jul 2022 PARIS That fearful sound of 'fire' and 'fire,' Let no man know is my Desire So goes a couplet in poet Anne Bradstreet’s 1666 poem, “Verses upon the Burning of our House.” We might read these lines as indicating the speaker’s hope for no other man or woman to know the...
