[Paris – Inaugural Exhibition | 19 March] Cuturi Gallery proudly arrives in Paris with its inaugural exhibition Decadence and Decay. Conceived by Singaporean curator Deborah Lim (.lim), the exhibition brings together eight major artists from Europe and Southeast Asia in a transdisciplinary dialogue across art, design, and fashion: Iris van Herpen (The Netherlands), Hubert le Gall (France), Jane Lee (Singapore), Lionel Sabatté (France), Hiromi Tango (Japan), Sookoon Ang (Singapore), Mahalakshmi Kannappan (Singapore), Khairulddin Wahab (Singapore).

Moving through shifting notions of beauty, taste, and renewal, Decadence and Decay finds transformation where others see only decline. It also pays homage to the space itself: once home to Didier Ludot, the visionary who made secondhand haute couture a cultural institution.

Join us for the Inaugural Vernissage on 19 March

6 - 8 pm: Cocktail Reception

Decadence and Decay runs from March 19 to May 16, 2026 at Cuturi Gallery, 24 Galerie de Montpensier, 75001 Paris.
