New Skies, New Earth at the Paris Foreign Missions
Always, the artist has a special role. They stand at the border between the real and the imaginary, opening the doors to a new world and offering us a fresh perspective on the earth around us. They give shape to the invisible and sketch the future. It’s this poetic and hopeful philosophy that the Paris Foreign Missions illuminate by inviting seven artists from the Far East to express themselves. Painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video—all mediums will be used here to take us on a journey to new skies...

It’s a comprehensive, eclectic, and colorful showcase of everything drawing can be. Our favorite?
