Galerie Papillon
Matière vive
Group show
JC Ruggirello, Etude pour trou - la patience des pierres, 2018
Carte blanche by Irene Mauri
Settled on the first floor of the gallery, this exhibition, carte blanche to Irene Mauri, brings together a selection of works by eight artists from the French art scene. It mainly features three-dimensional pieces that explore the themes of change and becoming. Some playful, others more organic, these works have a unique aura: they freeze in time a movement, a dynamism, a gesture triggered by the artist, the mediator between the material and its finished form. Here, the material is not simply a support, but an active force, a catalyst for transformations and sensations.
Group show of Gaëlle Chotard, Baptiste Croze, Frédérique Loutz, Javier Pérez, JC Ruggirello, Elsa Sahal, Linda Sanchez and Sabrina Vitali
From May 29 to June 20, 2026
The gallery
Since 1989, Galerie Papillon is esteemed for its cutting-edge program that brings together international artists - both emerging, established and mid-career - sharing a common sense of poetry and irony. The gallery offers them a vast playground in its 250 m2 main space sur cour, while its second space on the first floor is dedicated to accrochages in a more intimate setting, close to the collector's apartment.
Marion and Claudine Papillon share the same values and a common commitment: to promote artists and their work on the international art scene and to support contemporary creation in all its richness and diversity.
