Booth I12
Following its celebrated return to the Grand Palais, Art Paris once again unfolds beneath the nave and along the balconies of this restored Belle Époque landmark. For its 28th edition, the fair gathers 165 French and international galleries, reflecting Paris's artistic vitality while maintaining its regional and cosmopolitan character.
For this edition, the Spaceless Gallery presents a focused selection of works exploring material transformation, surface, and organic form.
The presentation showcases new works from Quentin Derouet's Persée series, where natural elements including walnut, vegetable coal, and tempara evoke celestial abstract andscapes. These are shown alongside new tapestries by aurèce vettier, woven at the historic Aubusson factories. Complementing these works are sculptural branches and a monumental bronze tree, continuing aurece vettier's algorithmic exploration of nature as both structure and symbol. The presentation is anchored by ceramic sculptures by Zhu Ohmu, whose practice examines the tension between hand and machine. Developed in response to the rise of 3D-printed ceramics, her self-formed vessels mimic mechanical precision while remaining physical, built through stacking, folding, pressing, and pulling moist clay to its structural limits.
Together, the works engage in a dialogue between celestial reference and terrestrial form, weaving painting, textile, bronze, and ceramic into a cohesive material landscape.
