Since 2019 I have been represented in Paris by Galerie Les filles du calvaire, the gallery has always been a place of art and creativity in the heart of Paris. And now, in an exciting next step the gallery is about to become even bigger and better as they open their second space on rue Chapon.
Founded in 1996, Galerie Les filles du calvaire has established itself as a leading contemporary art gallery, representing a diverse range of established and emerging artists. With its new location the gallery will be able to showcase an even greater variety of contemporary art, cementing its place as one of the foremost cultural institutions in Paris.

For their inaugural exhibition the gallery presents Persona, a group show spread over 300m2 of this new space. The diversity of the works displayed reflects the sensitivity of the gallery, its affections and its curiosity. Persona gathers artists whose energy animates the contemporary visual arts scene and works that share themes of figuration and representation.

The opening of this second space is a major milestone and represents a new chapter in the gallery's ongoing commitment to supporting and promoting contemporary art. I can’t wait to return to Galerie Les filles du calvaire for a solo show in 2024 when I will be showing work in their new space for the first time… watch this space!
