The new Paris art scene. A cutting-edge art gallery opens in Paris
Fine art has found a new canvas in Paris, where L’Atelier des Lumières opened in April as the city’s first digital art museum. The venue, housed in a 19th-century foundry, uses a whopping 140 digital projectors to splash paintings high onto the walls and across the floors, allowing visitors to walk through, over, and into some of the world’s most famous pieces of art. L’Atelier des Lumières opened with an exhibit featuring works by Gustav Klimt, an Austrian painter best known for ‘The Kiss,’ a portrait of a couple locked in an intimate embrace. Klimt was known for incorporating gold leaf into his art nouveau-style oil paintings, which adopted a more ornamental approach, creating an ethereal effect.
