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.
To start the year, Arcturus Gallery presents an online exhibition of Luzia Simons’ scannograms. These creations combine painting and photography around floral and plant motifs.
Since the mid-1990s, Luzia Simons has been revisiting the classic genre of floral still life by combining it with a contemporary technique: the scannogram, a process in which flowers are placed on a scanner to be captured with breathtaking precision. This method, which she perfected in 1996 with the ‘Stockage’ series, places her work in the tradition of Flemish still lifes, particularly those dedicated to tulips, a bulb that was highly prized in the 17th century after its introduction to Europe.
Feel free to browse all of her available works.
The gallery began the year by exhibiting paintings by Gabriel Schmitz and then Alejandro Quincoces. In conjunction with the exhibition of Marc Riboud’s photographs of Vietnam, which were honoured at the Guimet Museum, the gallery also presented his works. The following months were devoted to Miguel Macaya and Alfons Alt. Throughout the summer, as part of the Art et Patrimoine en Perche festival, Gottfried Salzmann’s watercolours were exhibited at the Château de la Pellonnière. At the same time, Tim Hall’s photographs, combining ocean and desert, invited us on a journey during the summer months. The year ended with our participation in the Paris Photo international fair, which provided an opportunity for a retrospective of Hervé Gloaguen’s photographic work.
A new year is beginning for the gallery, filled with exciting projects and numerous temporary and online exhibitions. Feel free to come and see the works by making an appointment.

As part of PHOTODAYS, the Arcturus Gallery is honouring Hervé Gloaguen with a retrospective highlighting his role as a historical witness from the 1960s to the 2000s.
The common thread running through this exhibition is the human figure in motion against a backdrop of subtly crafted compositions, emphasised by the play of light and shadow. Hervé Gloaguen stands out for his mischievous gaze, which makes his photographs so delightful. He incorporates the power of colour alongside black and white in his shots.
Opening on Thursday 6 November from 6pm to 9pm in the presence of the artist.
