"About time ! A pixelized artshow in Paris ! I’m proud to announce that, in collaboration with Chogrin of the Autumn Society, the Flaq gallery, in Paris, will host during a month « 8-Bits Champions », an awesome artshow tribute to old school video games heroes ! For those who don’t know, the Autumn Society is a collective of illustrators from all around the USA, who organize rad artshows I always wanted to visit like the 3G Show, the 3B Show, or more recently Shell Shock… Well that’s it, we joined forces, and those nice fellows are coming right here in Paris. They won’t be alone, though, because I curated great French artists who are really eager to participate ! So yeah, it’s the first international artshow for the Autumn Society, and it’s a real pleasure to welcome them !
Located 36 rue Quincampoix (Amélie Poulain’s fans will certainly know the name !), the Flaq gallery is a beautiful and unique place in Paris. With 2 basements, it can host numerous pieces of art in spaces beautifully decorated. One of its room is entirely composed of old middle age vaults, which bring an Indiana Jones atmosfear… But La Flaq is also a place you can eat and drink wonderful Italian wines, cheese and hams (nothing to do with the fact that the owner is Italian! ). So here we are, standing in a gorgeous gallery, watching awesome pieces of art dedicated to video games, with a glass of red wine in the hand… What else ? Well…
