From 22 to 26 March 2017, for the occasion of the 21st edition of PAD Paris, the Dumonteil Gallery celebrates the animal in a selection of design pieces, sculptures, paintings and photography from emblematic artists.

Through the works of Hubert Le Gall, Jean-Marie Fiori, Daniel Daviau, Eric Pillot, Jean-Claude Meynard and Rubén Fuentes, among others, the gallery has put together a mise-en-scène bringing together art and design to recreate a real collector’s salon.

Bestiary furniture By Hubert Le Gall and Jean-Marie Fiori

In this space, a collection of bestiary furniture will be on display, composed of animal pieces from the playful designer, Hubert Le Gall. In particular, there will be “Console aux Cerfs” (Deer Console), presented for the first time in Paris, borrowing elegance and poetry, combined with the strength of the bronze and the nobility of the wooden tray, creating a pure and supple design. Also shown will be two remarkable pieces by Jean-Marie Fiori: a “Tête d’Ara’ and a “Tête d’Ours Polaire“.

The animal pieces By Marcel Derny and Daniel Daviau

In the library, a selection of modern pieces will give prominence to the 1930s and 50s, most notably a collection of stoneware pieces by Marcel Derny.
The Dumonteil Gallery is particularly honoured to present new work from Daniel Daviau, the contemporary French sculptor– rewarded on several occasions and whose work is part of major private collections around the world–entitled “Jeune Hippopotame“ (Young Hippopotamus), a life–sized piece made specially for the occasion of PAD 2017.

Photography and pictorial works By Eric Pillot, Jean-Claude Meynard and Rubén Fuentes

Lastly, the walls of the salon space will be decorated by the series of photographs entitled, “In Situ” and “In Situ – United States” by Eric Pillot, an artistic project that has received several prizes (HSBC, Académie Française Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière).
Also on display will be “Pegasus”, a piece from the series “Fractal Bestiary” by Jean-Claude Meynard, made exclusively for Dumonteil Gallery and a piece from emerging artist Rubén Fuentes– who exhibited at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in 2015.
