Sapling and Siegfried Contemporary are pleased to present Paris Calling, a group exhibition celebrating the artistic energy coming from the city in the present moment.



The two galleries have come together to curate a compelling selection of the talent emerging from Paris. The city continues to carry its history with pride. Its streets and cultural institutions are filled with reminders of its literary and artistic golden ages of the late eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries.



A number of the artists in this show look to the future while being imbued in this sense of long cultural history, hailing from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, one of the most significant art schools in France. They are joined by international artists having recently chosen to make Paris their home, attracted by the optimism that currently fuels the artistic scene in the city.
