H Gallery regularly offers carte blanche to curators, art critics and other to allow other voices to express themselves, unexpected works to be exhibited within its walls, and for different dialogues to take place. For the first time, H Gallery has decided to give carte blanche to a collector. Passionate and fascinating, a friend of gallerists and artists, an unfailing supporter of those he chooses and believes in, a respected influencer, he likes what he likes what stings, surprises, questions and touches, he calls himself the "Stakhanovist of Art", you will surely have recognised him: Philippe Tavaud (supported by his long-time accomplice Marie-Noëlle). H Gallery "leaves him the keys" and lets him speak.
"This selection is not a reasoned catalogue because "the heart has its reasons that reason ignores". A selection of the heart, therefore. And after all, is a collection really reasonable? Curating an exhibition is a presumptuous ambition, the idea of which did not even occur to me.
the thought of it. No curatorial pretension or intellectual desire, no imposed theme, no common thread, this exhibition only aims to bring together some of the artists whose work moves me and/or questions me. The viewpoint of a modest collector, with the sole legitimacy of passion and with the sole ambition of bringing the work of these artists to other circles and other places. In the image of my eclecticism, which sometimes blurs the rules, with the delight of one who wants to be seditious more than he really is. I wanted this selection to be broad, open and generous. It brings together artists who come from contemporary art for the most part, but urban art is also present. Artists from all walks of life. Many young artists, but others who are less young and some who are more established.
Many women, but men too. Painting, of course, drawing, photography as well, as well as sculpture and precious objects".

The gallery
After eight years in New York and six years at the Pinacothèque de Paris, Hélianthe Bourdeaux-Maurin opened H Gallery in Paris in 2016, with her friends and future partners, Benjamin Hélion and Benjamin Lanot. An art historian with degrees from the École du Louvre, the Sorbonne and independent curator, Hélianthe Bourdeaux-Maurin bases her artistic line on the discovery and talents that have never, or rarely shown in France, European artists or, more particularly, artists who live and work in artists who live and work in North America. Across the different continents, H Gallery clears, explores and seeks to bring new blood, unexplored treasures at the crossroads of cultures that nourish both the diversity and contemporaneity of the gallery's artistic line. The gallery is also resolutely committed to the defence and promotion of women artists. It has collaborated with the artists Clara Feder and Liu Bolin on projects around the notion of female solidarity in the art world. She participates in many prestigious art fairs, where she has won the First Prize in the Dessin fair in 2017 and 2018. She is part of Paris Galerie Map (PGMAP) since 2019 and of the Comité Professionnel of Art Galleries since 2017 (CPGA).
