The Lacroix Urban Art gallery opens its doors in the heart of Belleville (20th arrondissement). 70 m2 of original works (Martha Cooper, Flying Fortress…), lithographs, limited-edition art toys and art books.
Its owner, Nicolas Lacroix, is a former IESA student. He completed the Bachelor in Art Expertise and Art Trade. During his 3-year art market program, Nicolas already showed a strong interest in urban arts: he had chosen the painting specialization and his thesis topic was “street art by women.” Our school, which trains students for art market careers and notably the gallery owner profession is particularly proud of Nicolas’s career path and wishes him great success for his 1st exhibition: Dreaming of some space.
Yesterday, September 26, the gallery was inaugurated with the exhibition of the Indonesian artist Arkiv Vilmansa: Dreaming of some space. It takes us on a journey to Wounderland, an unknown land populated by extraordinary creatures. His dreamlike work revisits Walt Disney and Looney Tunes characters and offers “energetic” paintings with bright colors and dynamic lines as well as monochrome canvases that reveal new emotions from the artist. Let your imagination run and wait no longer to discover Wounderland!
