PM GALLERY - exhibition "The Shadow of Life": from September 18 to October 24, 2026

About

Through paintings, sculptures, and contemporary works, The Shadow of Life explores what remains beyond presence: an imprint in a landscape, the memory of a body, a form, or a sensation. By creating a dialogue between modern and contemporary artists, the exhibition questions how the past continues to inhabit the present and how each work can become a witness to a vanished or transformed presence.

Our take on this event

Some ghosts are made of paint and stone, and they are currently waiting for you in the heart of the 6th arrondissement. This curation turns fading memories into physical art, forcing you to reconsider exactly what remains when someone is gone. Wander through these quiet rooms for a dose of raw, thoughtful inspiration.

The PM GALLERY hosts L’Ombre de vie, an exhibition examining the remnants of existence through painting, sculpture, and contemporary installations. By exploring the concept of imprints left by bodies, landscapes, or fleeting sensations, the collection investigates how the past continuously shapes our present reality. This curation brings together modern and contemporary works to serve as silent witnesses to transformed or absent presences. Located in the 6th arrondissement, this cultural experience offers a unique perspective on art history and human memory. Admission is completely free, welcoming all visitors to explore these thoughtful displays from September 18 to October 24, 2026.

Located at 40 rue de Seine, PM GALLERY presents L’Ombre de vie, a thoughtful showcase that bridges the gap between historical influence and contemporary expression. The exhibition invites visitors to contemplate how artistic works capture the essence of what remains once a physical presence has faded. Through a diverse range of media, including sculpture and painting, the artists involved analyze the lasting impact of memory and the evolution of form within our modern environment.

The gallery welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday, with doors open from 11:00 to 19:00. This event is free to attend and remains open to the public until October 24, 2026. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply exploring the artistic landscape of Paris's 6th arrondissement, you are invited to experience these reflections at your own pace during the scheduled opening hours.
