Salon d’Été

Fitzpatrick Gallery is thrilled to announce its participation to Salon d’Été, with a solo presentation of Arthur Marie.

Salon d’été is a new weekend-long event held on July 22nd and 23rd at Maison Louis Carré, the famous Alvar and Elissa Aalto 1950s villa in the southwest countryside of Paris (Yvelines). The event brings together two dozen galleries, editors and project spaces from the new Parisian art community, presenting one artist each in a joint exhibition within the villa, alongside a program of performances and talks, and a library of publications by the Paris-based bookshop After 8 books.

In the spirit of Louis Carré, collector and art dealer who co-founded the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art (CPGA) with the intention of solidifying the network of Parisian art galleries, Salon d’été aims to unite members of the Paris art scene in a weekend of collective conversation through art.

Salon d’été was initiated by Fitzpatrick Gallery, Sans titre, and The Performance Agency.

Arthur Marie’s (b. 1996, Cherbourg, France) work convokes shadowy, macabre figures haunted by the underbelly of digital web culture. Recent solo exhibitions include Serenity, Queer Thoughts (New York) and Struggle for Pleasure, Plymouth Rock (Zurich). His work was presented as part of group exhibitions at Queer Thoughts (New York); Profile (Paris); The Residence Gallery (London); Confort Moderne (Poitiers), amongst others.

This is the first collaboration between the artist and Fitzpatrick Gallery.
