Gaston
CREOLE ART HOUSE
You certainly know the postcards' Carribbean, coconut palms and white sand beaches… But have you ever heard of our artists?
Another story of the West Indies
On our islands, there is a frisson, a shared beat, which ✧ is expressed in a thousand and one ways depending on the sensibilities. Our artists let theirs speak for themselves.
Our reason why
Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélémy, we are an exception: French islands in the mainly English- and Spanish-speaking Caribbean. Amerindian, European, African, Indian, Lebanese-Syrian and Asian roots intertwined on a small island... historically tied to France.
La Maison Gaston represents artists from Guadeloupe and Martinique. To tell our story through art, to finally become visible.
We exhibit in partner galleries and at art events. Here are a few examples.
Maison & Objet, CRAFT Pavilion
Wawi Gallery
TAFETA Gallery, London
Élysée Palace
Bikaner House, New Delhi
Rue Buffault, Paris
AKAA Fair, Carreau du Temple
