galerie frank elbaz is delighted to announce its upcoming exhibition, La Promesse d’Avril, to be held in Kyoto throughout the month of April.
The idea to open an exhibition in Kyoto during the cherry blossom season reflects our desire to introduce the local audience to the works of various artists with the intention to pursue further exchanges and to mark the beginning of new collaborations. Much like blooming spring announces the forthcoming fruit, this exhibition is also a promise of exciting future projects.
