Art galleries Rhône-Alpes

On the first floor of the Bonlieu cultural centre, this space, hidden from the gaze of passers-by, deserves a little detour. Each year it presents a variation of thematic exhibitions. The works benefit from the installation of quality lighting. An opportunity to discover talents and introduce the youngest to art.

Arriving in 1974 at the age of 20 in the Maurienne, Francesco Gallo, known as Inis, fell under the spell of the colours that surround him. Deep blues, reds, ochres that he handles for a contemporary painting. His paintings speak of his childhood memories, of the mountains here, of the skies of the Bauges tormented by purple and grey. His paintings are scattered all over the world. A recognized talent who remains attached to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Inis opens her first gallery there. Two more will follow in Châtelard-en-Bauges and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The post-impressionist artist exhibits his works (paintings and sculptures), and welcomes you to his gallery in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to accompany you on your visit.

Vibrate at first sight on wonderful photos! Photos by artists from all over the world. Photos selected by YellowKorner, a gallery that has known how to give honor to an art, to looks. Open windows on the planet, on people, on our lifestyles. Fantastic, soothing pictures, deep reflections or light subjects. It's so beautiful that we need them all to bring life back to our confined interior. Sensitive prints in limited edition, numbered (delivered with their certificate of authenticity). Great names of current photography, but also young artists to encourage. Thank you to YellowKorner for making our lives more beautiful.

The gallery presents a fine collection of singular jewelry: editions or one-off pieces of rings, brooches, pendants and other ornaments. Solid silver and gold predominate, but ceramic, Murano glass and even Plexiglas items are also on display. A number of artists have their work on permanent display, including paintings, engravings and sculptures in bronze and paper. The place shows its diversity by mixing refinement, originality and modernity. A good address if you like jewelry, fine art... or both!

After having created an agency of visual artists, opening a gallery was the logical next step for Sandrine Parlant. Here are exposed the works of the artists of the agency Volcanic'arts, but not only. The goal is to open the exhibitions to other young artists from time to time. A real place of life, events are organized there: openings, meetings, workshops, readings, brunches... An objective for the young entrepreneur: to share her passion for art, while making it accessible to all. The gallery can be privatized for a private event.

It is difficult to define Do Nothing. The brand created by the Clermont-Ferrand label Kütü Records is a showcase for local artists. Music, silkscreen printing, photography, sewing, graphics, literature... The only difficulty is to discover when to do nothing? An imprecision that adds to the charm of the place, which offers a beautiful definition of idleness! The gallery-boutique has joined forces with ¡Viva la Pepa ¡! (Hispanic-inspired cuisine) to develop a picnic concept in the city. Mixed place: shop, picnic, gallery where culinary and artistic activities coexist, it is also sometimes possible to participate in activities, to settle inside or on the pretty terrace.

In Extenso is a contemporary art gallery. Four to five exhibitions of works by national and international artists are held here each year, much to the delight of art lovers. This year, the gallery will welcome Alan Schmalz with his exhibition 999 Governing Bodies. Off-site exhibitions are also installed. The team also publishes and co-publishes exhibition catalogs. It has also created LaBelle Revue, which comes out every April and presents local exhibitions and art news.

The contemporary art gallery created by two childhood friends, Agnés Court and David Pasquinelli, showcases emerging artistic creation in a vast, uncluttered space. About twenty permanent artists are exhibited there, including some from the Saint-Etienne region, such as Chrystelle Gouy, who draws her inspiration from urban art, deliciously retro, and Lucas Mathevon, alias Luma, with expressive portraits, spotted with flashy colours on canvas and metal barrels. Prices are negotiated according to the artist's quotation and home delivery is offered. Also available at Sagra-Bigmat Caparol Saint-Étienne. For art lovers with a touch of the avant-garde!
