Gallery Presentation

Created 33 years ago by Éric Dupont, the gallery initially showcased young artists focused on formal exploration in the field of pictorial expression, such as Damien Cabanes, Didier Mencoboni, Siobhan Liddell, Carlos Kusnir, Hyun Soo Choi, Eric Poitevin, and Paul Pagk. The gallery's evolution continued in the early 2000s with the arrival of new artists exploring various mediums. Pascal Convert, Gil & Moti, Regina Virserius, Yazid Oulab, and Taysir Batniji addressed themes such as memory and time, the power of imagery, and the persistence of conflicts.

In the 2010s, the gallery welcomed international and French photographers, including Nicholas Nixon, Michel Campeau, Mathieu Pernot, and Claude Iverné. Always attentive to fresh perspectives, the Éric Dupont Gallery has embraced young female artists such as Olympe Racana-Weiler, Mari Minato, Tahmineh Monzavi, and Katarzyna Wiesiolek.

Additionally, the gallery has expanded its scope to feature artists from the African continent, driven by a desire to express their heritage, culture, and reclaim a part of art history. This includes a new generation of artists, such as Beninese painter Roméo Mivekannin and Congolese artist Willys Kezi. The gallery also supports artists whose work addresses the legacy of French colonial history and critiques its discriminatory consequences, such as photographer Wiame Haddad and visual artist Yazid Oulab.

Since its inception, the gallery has evolved by maintaining its initial roster of artists while welcoming new generations. It showcases a variety of media and champions artists who share humanistic values and a keen interest in form.
