Mood of the week : Horizons

Mood of the week: Horizons

17 - February 23, 2025

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!

Mood of the week : Saint-Valentin

Mood of the week: Valentine's Day

10 - February 16, 2025

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!

Mood of the week : Rose saumon

Mood of the week: Salmon pink

03 - February 9, 2025

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!

Mood of the week : Inde

Mood of the week: India

January 27 - February 2, 2025

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!

Mood of the week : Blue Monday

Mood of the week: Blue Monday

20 - January 26, 2025

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...

Mood of the week: Icefields

13 - January 19, 2025

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!
