Art Quam Anima Opens in Saint-Germain-des-Prés: An Atelier, A Gallery and Cultural Programme at 28 Rue du Dragon, Paris
A new kind of art space opens in the heart of Paris's sixth arrondissement — permanent exhibition, active atelier, and monthly public programming, free admission.
Paris, France, May 22, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Art Quam Anima, an atelier-gallery founded by multidisciplinary artist and composer Arnaud Quercy, has opened at 28 rue du Dragon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Paris 75006). The space presents a permanent exhibition of his paintings and sculptures, with Quercy's active atelier visible to visitors from the gallery floor.
Art Quam Anima is built around a single proposition: that art and ideas should circulate together, openly. Admission to the permanent exhibition is free. The gallery hosts two recurring public programmes:
Philosophical Symposiums: a monthly dinner gathering limited to 12 guests, free on reservation, bringing together art, philosophy, and conversation around a shared table.
Paint the Music Workshops: sessions in which participants paint to live music, offered Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at 70 EUR per person.
The works on view span acrylic, oil, and watercolour painting alongside sculpture, drawn from collections including Harmonic Crossing — over four hundred canvases built from chord structures across all 24 tonalities, each executing a rule declared in advance that binds pitch to colour — alongside Untamed Creations, Mediterranean Echoes, Spells and Magic, and Nature in the City. The practice continues under the name Ideamorphism, a practice-led inquiry whose central proposition is that the artist emits rather than creates: creation happens in the viewer.
Art Quam Anima also serves as the seat of Art Quam Anima Publishing New York LLC, a publishing imprint dedicated to artist books and nanopublications. The propositions of Ideamorphism are tested one by one and made public at ideamorphism.org.
The gallery is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, 11:00–20:00.
