Galerie Les Yeux Fertiles
The Galerie Les Yeux Fertiles art gallery, established in 2001, exhibits artists from the international Surrealist movement (Bellmer, Brauner, Masson, Matta…) or who have had a surrealist period in their career (Erro, Goetz, for example). It also presents certain artists on the edge of surrealism (Sima, Fini…), and those influenced by automatism (such as Degottex or Hantaï). It also showcases designers at the frontiers of Surrealism, coming under Art Brut (Lesage, Crepin…) or Visionary Art, all who explore the wanderings of the subconscious. The gallery is present at the major art shows such as ArtParis or the Salon du Collectionneur.
