When a greenhouse becomes an art space

Some places seem to be waiting for artworks.

The Orangery Greenhouse in André-Citroën Park is one such place. Beneath its vast glass structure, light flows freely and lines seem to dissolve. This is far removed from the traditional white-walled exhibition space; here, the venue itself asserts its presence.

It is within this unique setting that the DF Art Project 2026 fair brings together nearly a hundred artists, from October 2 to 11, to explore the theme of Figurative Destructuralism. Painting, sculpture, photography, and digital art: diverse creative worlds unfold beneath this grand Parisian glass roof, yet never quite blend into the surroundings.

Among them are two artists from the KERLUXY Contemporary Art Gallery: Robert JASO and SIDO.

Robert Jaso treats the portrait as a material to be transformed. A renowned photographer in the fashion and luxury worlds, he has developed a new transfer printing technique.

Just a few meters away, sculptor Sido also explores the human face, through using a completely different medium. Her masks evoke a dreamlike realism, deliberately blurring sensory perceptions.

Two practices, two mediums, yet a shared starting point: the face, a subject both artists move away from to create a new way of perceiving it.

These two KerLuxY artists are exhibiting their work until October 11, 2026, in a greenhouse that has been transformed, for a few days, into a space dedicated to contemporary art.

Yet what appeals to me here is not just the exhibition itself; it is the interplay between architecture designed to welcome the light and artworks created to draw the eye.
