The Bridge Gallery, founded in early 2023 by Alexandre Fabry and Vianney Salzac, is a Paris-based contemporary art gallery with a particular focus on Africa and its diaspora.
BRIDGE as a conversation between cultures, continents, and generations
BRIDGE as a platform for emerging artists and collectors from different horizons
BRIDGE as a universal language that can be understood and appreciated by everyone
Since its opening, The Bridge Gallery has been an early supporter of a number of international young artists such as Sarfo Emmanuel Annor, JC Bright, Bulumko Mbete and Dale Lawrence, whose work was often first presented in France by the gallery. The gallery now represents artists from around the African continent, including Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa.
With a deep understanding of their generation, the gallery’s founders are especially committed to working with artists who reflect its mindset, shaped by shared challenges, a natural fluency with new technologies, and a strong sense of global interconnectedness.
From 2022 to 2024, The Bridge Gallery embraced a nomadic format as a way to forge meaningful connections across geographies, engaging directly with local contexts and communities while expanding the visibility of its artists beyond traditional gallery spaces. Fall 2024, The Bridge Gallery established a permanent presence in the heart of Paris.
