A Virtual Tour of the Art Paris Fair !

April 3, 2023

Good morning art lovers ! If you follow my stories you may have seen I was down for the count for a few days last week, and it couldn’t have come at worse time as there were multiple fantastic exhibits happening in Paris and all my beautiful dreams of attending them all were vanishing before my eyes while I was stuck, in bed, surrounded by tea, layers of blankets and nothing to distract me from my crippling migraine and surrounding nausea. It was delightful all around 👌

While I missed what looked like an insanely cool show at PAD, a luxurious design fair full of bold and sexy creations, and an appearance by Ms Kelly Wearstler herself, I did manage to roll out of bed just in time for Art Paris, a huge contemporary art fair celebrating it’s 25th year. Hindered by the Paris marathon – because nothing can never be easy – I still made it all the way across the city to bask in this giant glow of creativity and discover some new fantastic artists and pieces !

I’m working on painting two new pieces for my home currently to finish up my makeover so this shot of inspiration
was so welcome and I’ve been giddy with ideas ever since 🥰
Feast your eyes on some of my favorite discoveries from the show :

Woo Kukwon

Marion Verboom

Noh Sang-Kyoon

Gert & Uwe Tobias

Luis Vidal

Kwesi Botchway

Betty Tompkins

Andrés Felipe Orjuela

Roger Edgar Gillet

Seyni Awa Camara

Samuel Yal

Nabil El Makhloufi

Andrea Galvani

Casper Faassen

Dhewadi Hadjab (these are oil paintings … in person they are unreal 😳)

And last but not least, I was delighted to check back in with some old favorites from the Also Known As Africa show
– some I’ve featured here before – through Galerie Carole Kvasnevski :

Angèle Etoundi Essamba

Zanele Muholi

If you’re looking to discover more artists this way, I’ve done a few series over the past few years to cover my various explorations in Paris : you can find them under the ART tag of the blog. And as always, make sure to show some love to the artists !
Have a beautiful, creative week !
