Mood of the week : David Lynch

Mood of the week: David Lynch

24 - March 30, 2025

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...

Mood of the week: Spring

17 - March 23, 2025

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...

Mood of the week : Ciel de Paris

Mood of the week: Parisian Sky

10 - March 16, 2025

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.

Mood of the week : Féminité

Mood of the week: Femininity

03 - March 9, 2025

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!

Mood of the week : Yellow

Moof of the week: Yellow

February 24 - March 30, 2025

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...

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!
