sobering galerie

Sobering is a Paris-based gallery located in the Marais, founded in 2013 with the ambition to promote a rigorous yet sensitive approach to contemporary painting.
Our program focuses on emerging talents—most of whom are graduates from leading art schools—whose works enter into dialogue with those of more established artists.

We favor practices that explore the connections between memory, cultural imagery, and collective narratives, while paying particular attention to the chromatic power and energetic vitality of painting. Each exhibition is conceived as a visual narrative, where canvases respond to one another and open a space for dialogue between generations and artistic practices.

Our dynamic and discerning program offers visitors and collectors an immersion into a vibrant pictorial scene, where colors, gestures, and personal stories resonate on a universal level.
