Art for Art’s Sake

From Plato to the thinkers of the Enlightenment, art has questioned where truth resides, in what we see, or in how we see. With Art for Art’s Sake, this reflection takes form once again, through a new sensibility shaped by our time, one where form and emotion, solitude and connection, coexist within the same breath.

Presented at Grand Tour, Art for Art’s Sake is not merely an exhibition, but a living conversation : a return to presence, where beauty becomes experience and art becomes a portal to consciousness.

Curated by Manon Canto (Grand Tour), Sarah Heitzmann (SH+1 & LUXE.NET), Kerrin Smith (Cool And Thoughtful Magazine), Julien Cadet, Romero Paprocki Gallery and Strouk Gallery, the project brings together artists and thinkers who share a single conviction: that art, freed from spectacle, still holds the quiet power to move us, not through what it declares, but through what it makes us feel.

Artworks become presences rather than objects, quiet witnesses of an inner vibration. Kaï Chun Chang’s fragile geometries tremble between order and disappearance. Vincent Beaurin transforms color into radiance, a field of pure perception. Jordy Kerwick bridges the instinctive and the tender; Ces McCully weaves abstraction with memory and desire; Humberto Poblete turns gesture into matter, and matter into emotion. Each work becomes a threshold, an invitation to see, and to sense, differently.

“This project is not a statement, but a vibration — a space where art exists for itself, and for the pulse it awakens within us.”
— Manon Canto
