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!

NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Victor Hugo, the writer with a thousand talents
Born in 1802, Victor Hugo became a social writer, a playwright, a poet, a novelist and a romantic designer. Nicknamed the man-ocean then the man-century, he is a political figure and a committed intellectual. He found success with Notre-Dame-de-Paris in 1831 and with Les Misérables in 1862.
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
Juliette Drouet actress, muse and mistress of Victor Hugo
At 14 rue Sainte-Anastase, from 1836 to 45 and at 12 from 1845 to 48, a few hundred meters from Place des Vosges, lived the muse and lover of Victor Hugo, Juliette Drouet née Julienne Gauvain.
