The selection will be on show until January 12, and the gallery will be exceptionally open on Saturdays in December.

Exhibition : Layers
Juxtapositions of shapes and colours are techniques well known to artists, and the three we are exhibiting at the gallery until December 6 have mastered the art of superimposing media to perfection. Camil Giralt paints with ink on canvas coated with quartz powder, skilfully creating a play of transparency between primary colours. Camille Levert's three-dimensional collages are based on a multitude of photographs of Hong Kong's teeming flora and neon lights. Finally, Russel West is also inspired by the Pearl of the Orient, creating intensely coloured three-dimensional labyrinths from drips of paint.

New artist: Óscar Llorens
We are delighted to collaborate with Óscar Llorens, a Spanish artist born in Madrid in 1975. Inspired by the nostalgia of his childhood, Llorens creates artworks that reflect his most endearing memories, colorful characters and everyday situations that bring us closer to the most important years of our lives. His style is vibrant and joyful, full of details that invite us to explore every inch of his creations.

Summer Group Show
The summer season will be a colourful one in Paris this year, and the number of cultural events is increasing. At the gallery, we are exhibiting a selection of works by three artists using a variety of techniques. The Finnish-Mexican duo Ana D. & Noora K. sublimate lenticular photography by setting bodies in motion in their environment, through subtle work on light and textures. Belgian artist Axelle Gosse weaves rope motifs inspired by her many travels to exotic lands. Juan Escudero, based in Barcelona, finely etches superimposed lines on painted copper plates. His choice of colour gradations combined with the motifs is reminiscent of natural forms in motion. The vernissage will take place on 12 June at Galerie K+Y.

New Artist: Axelle Gosse
Axelle Gosse, a Belgian artist with a passion for fabrics, one day decided to take up rope work. She finds the inspiration for her work through her many travels: "Here and elsewhere, everything is linked for me. I see the same thing, I feel the same sensations. I'm never disorientated by anything tropical, and seeing spring arrive here always moves me in the same way. The interplay of rope movements of different thicknesses and colours allows her to express her passion for the beauty of an imaginary world, ranging from Latin America to Africa and India. Come and discover her work at the K+Y gallery, until 31 May.

New artist: Juan Escudero
To kick off 2024, we are delighted to welcome a new artist from the Spanish Basque Country, Juan Escudero. Born in 1965 and a graduate in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country in 1991, with a specialisation in painting, the artist has since won numerous international awards for his original work focusing on the line: "I apply a system in which a first line prefigures the lower line and if an irregularity occurs, it is transmitted to the next line. Similar processes occur in nature, so that these drawings subsequently relate to familiar patterns and shapes such as surfaces, fabrics, fluids, orography, waves, etc. The basic idea of drawing is not to represent something, but to activate a process. It's similar to the automatic drawings we make unconsciously when we talk on the phone. A drawing like a musical improvisation, automatic writing, clear traffic for the present without correcting anything".

Happy new year!
