GALERIE DUMONT

If one could paint a painting of this gallery inaugurated in 1996, the face of Éric Dumont, his carved beard and his serious and childish air would basically be traced. Éric Dumont is an enthusiast who does not hesitate to go out of the beaten paths when he chooses his artists. He has the chic to identify the best, and supports local artists (who are sometimes the same). Its reputation makes the gallery a retreat in the heart of the city where contemporary art is spreading. Éric Dumont always offers us atypical guests: it is taking the risk of not going to consensus. His storefront, close, attracts the eye with always surprising artists. The street is currently in work and should eventually become a pedestrian. One more reason to stroll.
