193 Gallery is an art gallery located in Haut-Marais, open since 2019. Cosmopolitan, colorful and warm, it is like the welcoming deckchairs installed in front of its entrance on summer days.
A Gallery therefore, which aims to take a tour of the world of contemporary art through exhibitions dedicated to some of the most promising artists from emerging countries.
Indeed, for César Lévy, director of the gallery, contemporary art is not reserved for American and European visual artists and collectors. With his team, he has made it his mission to introduce contemporary sculptures and paintings from around the world to a wider audience.
Until February 28, 2021, it is still color that will dominate at 7, rue des Filles du Calvaire, with a focus on abstract art and the visual impact of color through the exhibition: “Colors of Abstraction.”
Harry Moody, Abstract YellowBlue – Oil on canvas – 91,4 x 76,2 x 3,8 cm – 2019
Abstract art, born at the beginning of the XNUMXth century from Fauvism, Cubism and Expressionism, sees artists freeing themselves from form and subject. Artistic creation is liberated through color.
This first exhibition of 2021 brings together seven artists of different nationalities (South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, United States, France, Italy).
Aldo Chaparro, Blue totem – 30 x 30 x 200 cm – Wooden sculpture – 2020
Aldo Chaparro, Blue totem – 30 x 30 x 200 cm – Wooden sculpture – 2020
The artists presented at the 193 Gallery pursue this principle of liberation of form and subject in a very contemporary way through bold colors and graphic and clear-cut visual constructions, as illustrated by the crates of Valentina Canseco, the geometric combinations of Hugh Byrne and Ben Arpea, but also denser works where material and color become one, like those of Harry Moody, Aldo Chaparro and Anton Alvarez, whose variations of color through material are at the center of the concerns.
The viewer is invited to feel emotions while freeing themselves from visual reality.
Artists: Aldo Chaparro (Peru / Mexico), Valentina Canseco (Brazil / Chile / France), Anton Alvarez (Chile / Sweden), Harry Moody (USA), Hugh Byrne (South Africa), Ben Arpea (Italy / France), KitikongTilokwattanotai (Thailand).
A dream opportunity to bring sunshine and color into our eyes!

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS A MUST SEE
With the artist Malacarne, we dive into the Big Blue
Why go to the sea when you can find it in the Marais, at the Menouar gallery, rue du Parc-Royal? Here, we dive directly into the Big Blue with the work of Malacarne, a post-impressionist artist of reflection, light and water whose brush caresses the surface of the sea.
Susumu Shingu, praise of slowness
At the Jeanne Bucher Jaeger gallery, a century-old space at the bottom of a courtyard, around thirty drawings and kinetic sculptures, moving works by the Japanese artist Susumu Shingu, are displayed. It was a trend in vogue in the 1950s, led by artists such as the Athenian Takis or the Brazilian Soto.
Ethan Murrow and his hymn to plants
The Girls of Calvaire gallery, sheltered at the back of a courtyard, is hosting the solo show “Magic Soil” by the American Ethan Murrow until November 25. A unique set of around fifteen paintings and drawings that pay homage to nature.
NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
