A fervent advocate of accessible art, Axel Plasse has set up shop in the heart of the Golden Triangle. From Roanne to Lyon, Galerie Deza immerses us in a new universe of contemporary paintings and sculptures, united around a single artistic line: color…
Push open the door of Galerie Deza and the greyness of the city fades away in the face of a profusion of shapes and colors. Built up on the spur of the moment, as a succession of aesthetic shocks and encounters with creators from all walks of life, Galerie Deza’s contemporary art collection reads like an ode to the tremendous freedom of artists.
Axel Plasse confides: “We knew the Lyon clientele through the salons, but it seemed important to us to open in Lyon, after Roanne, a new space for dialogue between permanent and emerging artists, to introduce the public and Lyon collectors to a new universe of paintings, sculptures and photographs intertwined around the same artistic line: color.”
Attention enthusiasts. As an art agent since 2013, Axel Plasse has forged close ties with artists at contemporary art fairs and shows in France and abroad. Both collector and art dealer, he set up shop in Roanne, his home town, in 2016. Poetic sculptures and free brushstrokes fill the generous volumes of this 100m2 gallery in Roanne.
Its success prompted Axel Plasse to open a bright 60m2 space on rue Thomassin, in the heart of Lyon’s golden triangle, last August, with high ceilings ideal for large formats: “The two galleries complement each other in terms of exhibitions and events open to art lovers, collectors and those simply curious about the visions of the world expressed by today’s artists.
