Featured Events in Paris in May 2025 (July Updated)

Galerie Maria Wettergren presents the exhibition, Over The Rainbow, the first solo show of Finnish artist Camilla Moberg. The rainbow represents hope in many cultures, and Moberg’s large luminous sculptures, with their vibrant colors, radiate a particularly joyful beauty—despite their otherwise serious underlying message. Handcrafted in blown glass in Nuutajärvi, Finland’s oldest glassmaking village, Moberg’s sculptures reflect her thoughts on biodiversity and its preservation. Their totem-like structure is inspired by the stacking of natural stones observed throughout history and across various cultures, symbolizing unity and the connection between humans and nature.

Since the 1990s, he has been developing a body of work centred on the passage of time, largely consisting of videos and related drawings, studies, storyboards and dissertations on various projects. Claerbout invites the viewer to explore the plurality of the experience of duration through perception of often miniscule changes. His film Boom (1996), for example, is a slow, attentive observation of a magnificent tree in the countryside. Only the air flowing through its leaves tells us that the image is in motion, prompting us to view it with a demanding yet contemplative eye. The image, simple and beautiful, exerts an unaccustomed fascination by depicting the self-evidence of the tree’s existence in the world.

Marian Goodman Gallery presents Jongsuk Yoon's first exhibition in France. The presentation highlights her colorful pictorial work, with ten new oils on canvas and four gouaches on paper. Somewhere between abstraction and figuration, Yoon's 'landscapes of the mind' lie at the crossroads of Western Abstract Expressionism and the Asian pictorial tradition, and the title of the exhibition, Far East, subtly underlines the artist's deep connection with her native country, which she left thirty years ago.

Thanks to the cooperation of many important institutions, the exhibition "Tous Léger!" is on display at the Luxembourg Museum. The exhibition is curated based on the museum's existing collection, and the works of modern art pioneer Fernand Léger (1881-1955) are in dialogue with the works of European and American avant-garde artists from the 1960s to the present. The title of the exhibition has multiple meanings: on the one hand, it directly refers to Fernand Léger's name Léger, emphasizing his central position in the exhibition, while also implying the approachability and integration of art advocated by Léger and his new realism movement into daily life, suggesting a "light (Léger)" and unpretentious attitude.

Marian Goodman Gallery presents in Paris beaucoup, peu, rien, a solo exhibition by Ana Jotta, proposed and organized by Ampersand, with whom the artist has collaborated regularly in recent years. Over the decades, Ana Jotta has shaped a unique artistic universe that defies classification and explores a variety of mediums, aesthetic categories and sources of inspiration. For this exhibition, the artist is unveiling a new project, specially designed for the gallery space at 66 rue du Temple.

Galerie Peter Kilchmann presents its third solo exhibition dedicated to Vlassis Caniaris (1928-2011), which also marks the first major retrospective in France since his passing. The artist had a special connection to Paris, where he lived twice with his family, from 1960 to 1966 and again from 1969 to 1976. In 1970, he was granted a solo exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

Galerie Peter Kilchmann presents the very first solo exhibition of works by Bernd Ribbeck (born in 1974) in France, hosted in our Project Space in Paris. For this presentation, the artist has created works specifically tailored to the space, including an illusionistic wall installation and several small-scale paintings.

‘Frank Bowling. Collage,’ the artist’s first solo exhibition in France, explores collage as a conceptual tool and technique for Bowling’s practice and thinking. The exhibition features works from the early 2000s up until the present day, where at the age of 91 Bowling still paints on a daily basis. The starting point for the show is reflected in four new large-scale paintings on display in the ground floor gallery, which are comprised of multiple canvas panels. These monumental works—including the 4.4 meter-tall ‘Skid’ (2023)—are a renewal of Bowling’s use of collaged canvas and marouflage, which has long formed an important part of his practice.

When George Clemenceau wrote this letter to Claude Monet, he was 55 years old and the painter 56. I don’t know if Monet replied, nor whether he actually went to Marseille. Nothing prevents us however from imagining the scene: the two men meeting somewhere on the docks, it was mid-May and the days were lengthening. Perhaps they had a drink on a café terrace, delighted to be away from the hustle and bustle of Paris life. In a few hours, they would set off to admire the wonders of Antiquity…

The term “sweet tooth” describes a preference for sugary treats like candies, sometimes extending to a general taste for pleasure and indulgence. In the visual sphere, a preference for “eye candy” usually implies an irresistible attraction toward an enhanced, exaggerated, or plasticized version of reality. In their homonymous two-person exhibition at Semiose, Anton Alvarez and Oli Epp proudly embrace their “sweet-toothedness” through a painting and sculpture presentation. Drawing from Pop Art’s use of bright colors, sharp graphic imagery, and exaggerated finishes, they expose their (and our) compulsive attachment to consumerist aesthetics, the allure of design and technology, and our inherited bedazzlement with shiny, colorful things. Through multiple layers of tension and harmony between conflicting and compatible traits of their respective practices, mediums, mind sets, and concepts, the two artists are also suggesting that eye candy is not just a simple form of attraction or aesthetic pleasure but a complex phenomenon deeply embedded in the commodification of the human experience.

The exhibition brings together more than 50 aphorisms by Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux, dated from 1998 to 2025.

GALLERIA CONTINUA presents Descendencia (Descendance), the new solo exhibition by Cuban visual artist Osvaldo González, in its Paris space in the heart of the Marais. This exhibition offers a poetic exploration of time, memory, and inheritance, constructing a cartography of the artist’s most intimate universe.

Conceived in homage to Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition presents a conversation between works by artists who have challenged the conventions of form, material, and perception, highlighting the evolution of their practices. The exhibition gathers defining works by key postwar figures Walter De Maria, Lucio Fontana, Donald Judd, Piero Manzoni, Mario Merz, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra, and Andy Warhol.

Bigaignon presents Thomas Paquet’s new solo exhibition entitled “Oh Light!”. The exhibition delves into the essence of light, uncovering its intricate nuances through a series of experiments in which the artist reimagines traditional darkroom techniques.

The French painter and sculptor Max Ernst and the Cuban painter Joaquín Ferrer are two important artists born on opposite sides of the Atlantic whose deep friendship and artistic exchange have been little known. In the 1960s, the two artists met for the first time during lunch at the home of the poet and writer Alain Bosquet. At that time, Ernst was already a well-known artist, and Ferrer was a young painter who had just arrived in Paris on a scholarship from the Cuban government. This unique encounter will be revived at the Galleria Continua Matignon during the Paris Spring Art Week.

GALLERIA CONTINUA is delighted to presentLes surprises du hasard (The surprises of chance), an unprecedented dialogue between Max Ernst and Joaquín Ferrer - two major figures born on opposite sides of the Atlantic, whose deep intellectual and artistic friendship has long remained largely unknown. Ernst played a significant role in supporting Ferrer shortly after his arrival in France in the 1960s. Coinciding with Paris’ spring art week, this unique encounter unfolds within the gallery’s space in the heart of the Matignon district.

Zander Galerie Paris presents an exhibition dedicated to Jürgen Klauke. Titled Transformer, the exhibition showcases a selection of seminal photographs from the early 1970s. These works, central to Klauke’s artistic and philosophical exploration, challenge conventional notions of gender and its representation.

The Atelier des Lumières in the 11th arrondissement of Paris is hosting an immersive digital art exhibition of The Little Prince, using light and shadow to tell the story of the blond little prince's cosmic journey, taking you into the classic world of Saint-Exupéry. With giant projections and music intertwined, you will travel through the stars with the little prince, explore the poetic fables of roses, foxes and deserts, and feel the fusion of innocence and philosophy. Ba Xiaolv wishes all adults and children can find the rose in their hearts~

Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) is a new program for hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers in our Paris space, offering wider visibility of their work and ideas and engaging with the city’s vibrant creative community.​

The Gallery presents the first solo exhibition dedicated to the artist Guillaume Barth, allowing us to grasp the full scale of his sculpture titled Elina, created in 2015 on the vast salt desert of Bolivia, the Salar de Uyuni.

Almine Rech Paris, Turenne is pleased to present Hell is Hot, Emma Stern's third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from April 26 to June 7, 2025.

Exhibition - Blue Soul Je suis très heureux de vous inviter à ma première exposition personnelle à Paris – Blue Soul. L’exposition réunit plus de 30 de mes peintures et dessins, réalisés au cours des cinq dernières années, incluant des œuvres de ma série bleue. C’est une exposition profondément personnelle, qui reflète mon langage visuel et mon parcours artistique. 💙 Blue Soul reflète les flux et reflux de nos émotions, leurs origines, à l’image de la création d’un monde construit par couches, structures et gestes expressifs. Elle brouille les frontières entre figuration et abstraction. Les corps humains, bien que souvent solitaires, émanent une énergie subtile, nous rappelant que la véritable compréhension de soi ne vient pas du rejet de nos émotions, mais de leur acceptation. Pour vivre pleinement, nous devons être prêts à accueillir à la fois la joie et la tristesse, à les laisser coexister en nous et à reconnaître la beauté dans toute la palette de nos sentiments. 🕔 Vernissage : le 1er mai à 17h35 Information Source: eventbrite
