“Human comedy from all angles, all over the world”.
I am Claire Corcia, director of Galerie Claire Corcia in Paris.
I created my gallery 16 years ago, in 2008, after 6 years of expertise in Drouot with André Schoeller, expert in contemporary art and the arts of Africa and Oceania.
This dual specialty in Contemporary art and African art has shaped my artistic choices.
When I created my gallery in 2008, I was driven by the strong desire to share a reflection on the human comedy which immediately became its common thread.
From Iran to Argentina, from Senegal to Haiti, from Germany to England, from France to Canada, from Cameroon to Morocco, the gallery’s 30 Contemporary artists, emerging or established, express themselves through painting, drawing, textile, clay or metal sculpture and photography, from voodoo to expressionism, from outsider art to Contemporary graphic art.
I sell the works of artists I love because they have a vision. They are beings who make no concessions. They are free. Free to express their emotions and share them, to embody their wildest dreams and make us dream with them.
Art is a matter of sharing. The artists share their convictions and their analytical view of the world. I love their sincerity and foresight. They are the watchmen of our souls, the lookouts of our societies, the conscience of our humanity.
They build roots when we lost them, bridges between cultures when we lack them and bring hope in the darkest hours. They remind us how precious our humanity is and that the key to our salvation lies within ourselves.
Like an orchestra conductor, I have organized nearly 100 personal or thematic exhibitions, participated in European art fairs, created a bridge with museums for the artists I defend, established collaborations with foreign art galleries and thus shared the extraordinary energy of artistic creation with all art lovers and collectors eager to take part.
I therefore invite you to enter the cycle of history now by supporting and living at the pace of Contemporary artists selected by the Claire Corcia Gallery.
