Arcturus Gallery – Art transforms us
Located on rue de Seine, in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés, the Arcturus Gallery has existed since 1999, driven by the passion for contemporary art of Anne de la Roussière, its founder.
Always driven by this same energy, convinced that living in contact with art is a profound source of benefits, we support a coherent multidisciplinary selection (paintings, photographs, sculptures and furniture) of European artists whose technical and pictorial qualities complement each other. Through this deliberately eclectic proposition, the gallery allows the amateur to succumb to a crush and the collector to make a dynamic and informed choice.
As part of the Bicentenary of Photography, organised by the Ministry of Culture, and the Photodays festival, the Arcturus Gallery is exhibiting Marc Riboud’s works, “Geometry becomes poetry, life, emotion”.
The opening reception will take place on Thursday 5 November at 5 rue Jacques Callot, 75006 Paris, from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm.
If you are unable to attend the opening, we would be delighted to welcome you by appointment at a time of your choosing to provide any further information or materials you may require.
Exhibition from 4 to 16 November at 5 rue Jacques Callot, 75006 Paris
11.00–13.00, 14.00–19.00, Monday to Saturday, and by appointment on Sundays
By appointment from 17 November to 4 December at 25 rue de Verneuil, 75007 Paris
Let’s hold onto the energy, the beauty of blue, and the curiosity of vacation to discover or rediscover the gallery’s artists and especially their recent works! We’d like to highlight three artists:
Gabriel Schmitz plays with the lightness of wash paintings and the subtlety of oil paint’s nuances, creating a sense of suspended calm, almost meditative. Through dance or movement, he invites us to contemplate the body in motion.
Tim Hall draws inspiration from the paintings of William Turner (“Turner Sky,” 2006) and Mark Rothko’s shifting striped surfaces (“Dune XIV,” 2004). By playing with light and shadow and using rounded forms interspersed with lines, Tim Hall highlights textures and emphasizes the power of natural elements.
Not to mention this stunning recent painting by Miguel Macaya on the cover, with its sky illuminating an imaginary scene that reverses the proportions between humans and fruit.
See you at the next exhibition! As part of the Bicentennial of Photography, the Arcturus Gallery is presenting the work of Marc Riboud from November 4 to 16.
For the 7th edition of the Art and Heritage Trail in Perche, the Château de la Pellonnière is hosting an exhibition of photographs by Luzia Simons, in collaboration with the Arcturus Gallery.
The festival is organised around the theme of ‘Legends’, creating a dialogue between heritage and contemporary art. Luzia Simons’ exploration of the plant world fits perfectly within this theme, set against the backdrop of an exceptional 17th-century dovecote.
Opening reception in the presence of Luzia Simons on Saturday 2 May from 5pm to 8pm.
The exhibition is open from 1 May to 14 June every weekend and on public holidays from 2.30 pm to 6.30 pm or from 2 pm to 6 pm.

Through their respective works, Alejandro Quincoces and Gottfried Salzmann engage in a subtle dialogue between material, light and the urban landscape. Far from being merely anecdotal, this dialogue becomes, for both artists, a realm of painting, a space of perception where architecture, light, rhythm and silence intertwine.

Through their respective works, Alejandro Quincoces and Gottfried Salzmann create a sensitive dialogue between material, light and the urban landscape. Far from any anecdotal description, it becomes, for both artists, a realm of painting, a space of perception where architecture, light, rhythm and silence intermingle.
Exhibition at 14bis rue des Minimes (75003) – Monday to Saturday – until 25 March
The Arcturus Gallery is pleased to present “La ville en partage” (Sharing the City), an exhibition bringing together two major figures in contemporary painting and the gallery, Alejandro Quincoces and Gottfried Salzmann, around a single theme, each contributing their culture, personality and emotions, as well as their personal techniques, developed over many years and perfected to become, for each of these two artists, an inimitable and instantly recognisable style and texture.
Opening reception in the presence of both artists on Saturday 14 March from 3pm to 8.30pm.
