The New Yard Gallery is pleased to announce the grand opening of their new contemporary art gallery and inaugural exhibition First Light on Thursday, September 19, from 6 - 10 PM. First Light will be on view through October 13, 2024. To commemorate the grand opening of the gallery, First Light brings together a diverse selection of paintings and sculptures from five internationally established artists, including Alejandra Aristizabal, Mickaël Doucet, Kevin Douillez, Taher Jaoui, and Sali Muller. These artists present a range of influences from their respective origins in Colombia, France, Belgium, French Tunisia and Luxembourg, The New Yard Gallery was founded in 2024 by Adrien Jack and Adrien Chatelet, two dynamic French entrepreneurs blending their expertise in art and design and bringing a French perspective to the ultra-contemporary landscape of Los Angeles. The gallery will facilitate a cultural exchange between a Los Angeles audience and internationally established artists, aiming to create a new space for art by blurring the lines, exhibiting artworks that represent the meeting of not only separate continents, but also of art and design, of craft and concept, of art history and the present day. “Upon visiting Los Angeles, and witnessing its youth, diversity, and sprawling landscapes, it became immediately apparent that this was the perfect city for our New Yard. We look forward to meeting you, and introducing you to the artworks that inspired us to open this gallery – artworks that we believe deserve to be looked at in a California context.” – Adrien Jack & Adrien Chatelet
