PARIS VIII

At a time when men seem sensitive to questions of virility, it's more important than ever this summer to celebrate feminine energies and the power of women. Far from the din, this week's works whisper of the quiet strength of those who weave the world with grace and depth. They reveal impulses of beauty, intuition and mystery - silent languages that speak to the heart more than to reason. Who run the world? Girls.

PARIS VIII

If you've never seen Goldfinger, the legendary 1964 James Bond film, the image of Shirley Eaton covered in gold may not haunt your memory. And yet... This striking vision, at once macabre and sumptuous, continues to irradiate the collective imagination. This week, as the summer sun transforms the city each evening into a canvas of golden reflections, we bring you a selection of works where light, metal and emotion intertwine. Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold, This heart is cold...

PARIS VIII

The first days of summer have that discreet charm that suspends time. We marvel at the fact that it's daylight well into the night, we drink water from the fountain after walking for a few minutes under the blazing sun, we happily stop for an ice cream on the way home from work... They herald the vacations to come, long afternoons basking in the sun or reading in the shade, swimming in the icy waters of a lake, fanning yourselves with the program of summer concerts. The Julyers are packing their bags, while some are still wrapping up a few files, but deep down, we're all ready. Hot town, summer in the city...

PARIS VIII

Cypresses, roses, cacti and palms... these plants are nature's reminder that thorns and sharp, pointed shapes create the perfect contrast with the curved, soft, rounded forms that surround them. Throughout the history of art, we find them in the crown of thorns worn by Christ, in the thistles depicted by Dürer, and even in the pointed branches of Giuseppe Pennone's trees. They remind us that life is not always gentle, that difficulties have their beauty and symbolise strong, assertive characters. But beware: Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw.

PARIS VIII

Who hasn't seen a mirage on the way to a holiday, walking through the scorching desert or under the blazing sun on the beach? The heat can make you lose your head and even the sharpest minds seem to slow down, numbed by the humidity. The asphalt ripples on the horizon, the walls seem to breathe, and we find ourselves envying the cats who sleep in the shade without the slightest guilt. Summer displays its art in suspending time and teaching us to savour, at last, the luxury of doing nothing. The heat is on, On the street, Inside your head, On every beat…

PARIS VIII

Ancient invocations, voodoo rituals, botanical secrets, cartomancy... Black magic is a mysterious and disconcerting world. Even the most Cartesian minds sometimes have to admit that certain things escape all logic, as if the universe, with a mischievous wink, were having fun muddying the waters. Through our selection of works, we invite you to explore these occult practices that have inspired fear as much as creation. Here, mystical symbols rub shoulders with the aesthetic, and the strange becomes sublime. It's a kind of magic...

PARIS VIII

As Greenberg said: “Rothko is not an abstract painter, but a painter of pure sensation. His works don’t need to be understood to be felt.” In his painting Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8 (1960), Rothko conveys that particular mood of a grey morning, a shadow pierced by a stroke of orange—like a glimmer of joy, a light in the mist. The color grey, calm and refined, pairs perfectly with orange, a color of energy, creativity, and enthusiasm. Our artists love to sprinkle their pearl grey or anthracite works with a touch of apricot or coppery orange, bringing a vibrant light into the midst of tranquillity.

PARIS VIII

Ruby, carmine, amaranth, brick, burgundy... The depth of a dark red immediately conjures up poetic images. Elegant and sober, these shades exude a sense of nobility wherever they go. Bright re lipstick, a glass of Saint-Émilion, cherry chocolate, the velvet of an opera curtain: burgundy remains the symbol of refinement. In our selection of works, touches of colour - from poppy to vermeil - won't make you see red... quite the opposite!

PARIS VIII

From the frescoes of Lascaux to Louise Bourgeois' spiders and Jeff Koons' dogs, animals have moved through art history as silent muses. Symbols of power, purity, or loyalty, they embody far more than their physical form. The cat reigns in ancient Egypt, while Rubens sets horses in motion with dynamic grace, and in illuminated margins, rabbits and hybrid creatures whisper forgotten tales. The animal becomes a mirror to mankind, reflecting both virtues and vanities. Even today, it captivates—whether sacred, wild, or simply familiar. Born to be wild...

PARIS VIII

Twenty thousand leagues under the sea, antediluvian marine life moves in the dark night of the abyss, feeding our fantasies. Algae, fish and unknown creatures fight for survival in a world that has very little in common with our own, and we are quite happy to leave these discoveries to Captains Nemo or Cousteau. Here on earth, we're content to dream about it, and our selection this week helps you do just that. Under the sea, under the sea...

PARIS VIII

Reigning supreme in the '80s and back in vogue at the start of the new millennium, fluorescent colors have been given pride of place in the neon works of many contemporary artists, from Dan Flavin to James Turrell and Martial Raysse. These colors are pop, evocative, and never leave you indifferent. Sculpting light is an art, and whether we infuse fluorescent pigments or shine real lights, it's always with the aim of catching the eye. All of the lights, all of the lights...

PARIS VIII

Woven, knitted, stretched, tailored... textiles are all the rage these days in art and design. Whether wool or silk, hemp or denim, the fabrics we use every day all tell a story. Many of these crafts are still alive and well, and at a time when the immersive Ornementa exhibition at the 19M gallery, organised by Chanel, invites us to discover these trades first-hand, we are also honouring textiles in this selection. Follow the red thread!

PARIS VIII

Childhood is a time of imagination, learning, dreams, innocence and fantasy. The representation of childhood in history of art begins with the nativities, cherubs and cupids, the children of the aristocracy, and in modern times artists have taken up the codes of children's graphic creations. Pablo Picassso said: ‘When I was their age, I drew like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them.' Our selection this week is an ode to childhood and wonderland. Sweet child o'mine, Sweet love of mine...

PARIS VIII

Mulholland Drive, Sailor & Lula, Twin Peaks... The great film-maker David Lynch sadly passed away in January, but his immortal work continues to fascinate us, his increasingly mysterious and dreamlike universe having opened the doors of consciousness for many of us. In 2024, he created an installation at Milan's Salone del Mobile entitled ‘Interiors by David Lynch. A Thinking Room’, reflecting his love of mystery, dreams, the unconscious and the surreal. This week we pay tribute to him with a selection of dreamlike works. And as Roy Orbison sings in Blue Velvet: In dreams I walk with you, In dreams I talk to you...

PARIS VIII

As Stravinsky, Arcimboldo, Vivaldi and others have shown us time and again, spring is the season of blossoming, of birth, of renewal, of pure joy. It's the season of the first rays of sunshine and fragrant air. It's a time for love, bucolic walks and café terraces. Spring is also a time for creative projects, and it's a time that inspires our artists too. Here comes the sun...

PARIS VIII

Sous le ciel de Paris, s'envole une chanson... It was true in Edith Piaf's day, and it remains true today: the Paris sky is an enchantment. Oscillating from blue to grey, with touches of yellow, it reflects off the mythical slate roofs and windows of Parisian flats with grace. When there is a beautiful sunset, everyone stops on the bridges over the Seine or on their balcony to admire its beauty, and even when it is grey, we cannot get enough of the ballet of clouds over the Haussmann buildings. This week, our selection is decked out in the colours of the Parisian sky, sure to please lovers of the City of Light.

PARIS VIII

8 March will be a reminder that not all women's rights have been won, not everywhere and not forever. At the moment, Parisian museums are giving pride of place to women in the history of art, from Artemisia Gentileschi to Suzanne Valadon to Chiharu Shiota. We, too, are highlighting the works of our artists who honour the power of women and their attributes that have been sidelined for too long: determination, courage and panache. This is not a man's world!

PARIS VIII

The works of the contemporary master of light, Olafur Eliasson, are immersive, enveloping and often unforgettable. Many of them feature a yellow palette that reproduces natural sunlight: The Weather Project (2003) at the Tate Modern in London, Yellow Fog (1998) and Inside the horizon (2014) at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. In these grey months in Paris, we wanted to pay tribute to him and to our artists who use the luminosity of yellow in their work. We all live in a yellow submarine...

PARIS VIII

The horizon underlines the infinite, according to French author Victor Hugo, and we can only agree. If the horizon has such a powerful appeal, it's because it promises us unknown worlds, discoveries and a feeling of vertigo in the face of the immensely vast. So dizzying that some people don't believe the Earth is round! The representation of the horizon, whether near or far, figurative or abstract, photographed or painted, is frequent in the work of our artists. Get out your spyglass!

PARIS VIII

Nestled in the heart of the village of Passy, in the 16th arrondissement, is the home of the most famous of the Romantic writers: Balzac. It is a small green sanctuary in what used to be a village on the outskirts of Paris. And at the moment, the Lost (Conjugal) Illusions exhibition on the setbacks of marriage in the 19th century is the perfect getaway for Valentine's Day, reminding us that we live in a time when marriage is joyful! Our artists also know how to inject romance into their work, so here's a selection for the week of love. Love is in the air!

PARIS VIII

It's not pink, beige or orange. It's salmon. This ambivalent colour is a colour that sprinkles and illuminates everything along the way, adding a touch of softness. At the end of the 19th century, it was furiously fashionable in art, notably in the works of Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro and Vincent van Gogh. After the Impressionist era, the popularity of this colour declined, resurfacing in the 1950s fashion and pastel interiors. Today, our artists are crazy about it, and do not hesitate to sprinkle their works with this warm hue. Don't be afraid to swim against the tide!

PARIS VIII

The thick wisps of dust raised by the timeless green and yellow rickshaws or by an elephant striding majestically alongside a sacred cow in the middle of the street, contribute to the mystical haze that covers the Indian subcontinent. Seeing the sun rise over Jaipur or admiring the monkeys running along the banks of the Ganges are dreams for many of us. To remedy this, we can be moved by a Bollywood film or admire our selection of the week. Morning India!

PARIS VIII

Twenty years ago today, a British advertising executive came up with the concept of Blue Monday, the day considered to be the gloomiest of the year. According to a clever calculation combining meteorology, motivation, finances and the need for change, the third Monday in January is the one when we most need to get away from it all, since this concept was invented to promote the merits of a travel agency. So, short of a ticket to Tahiti, this week's selection offers enough artistic escapism to keep us dreaming until the sun comes out. Don't worry, be happy...

PARIS VIII

Who hasn't dreamt of seeing the Northern Lights? In Santa's homeland, there are hotels made of ice, where you can admire the incomparable starry skies. You can also take a dog-sled ride through the pine forests, see penguins cuddling, or watch whales in the early hours of the morning. At a time when the adventurers of the Vendée Globe are rounding Cape Horn, we were inspired by the ice at the poles. Our artists love the cold colours and icy atmosphere of the ice fields, and here is a selection that will make you want to take the first flight to Reykjavik or Tromsø!
