Cuturi Gallery, founded by Spanish gallerist Kevin Troyano Cuturi, has opened its first European space in Paris's Domaine National du Palais-Royal, following its original establishment in Singapore in 2019. The gallery occupies the former boutique of legendary couture dealer Didier Ludot and launched in March with a group show. Its forthcoming exhibition, "Arbres de la Forêt, Vous Connaissez Notre Âme" (May 28 to September 26, 2026), is a solo presentation for French artist-designer Hubert Le Gall, curated by Bruno Gaudichon. The project extends to Villa Noël in Provence, which will serve as a second exhibition space for large-scale outdoor sculptures.
This expansion matters because it reverses the typical West-to-East trajectory of gallery expansion, positioning a Singapore-based gallery as a bridge between Southeast Asian and European art markets. The choice of the historic Palais-Royal location and the cross-cultural curatorial approach highlight a growing trend of non-European galleries establishing a foothold in Paris, reinforcing the city's role as a global cultural capital while fostering dialogue between Asian and European artistic practices.
