Semiose, a contemporary art gallery located in the Marais area of Paris, has been making waves in the international art scene since its establishment in 2007. Founded in the 20th district of Paris, Semiose has carved out a unique niche in the artistic landscape, championing aesthetics rooted in the margins of art and nourished by underground culture. The gallery is committed to forms and ideas born in the political, social, and geographical fringes, making it a unique player in the art world.

The practice of citation is a common reference point for the roster of artists represented by Semiose. This approach raises complex issues related to the production and dissemination of images, the role and purpose of archives, and visual culture in the broadest sense. Semiose champions an aesthetic based on questions of taste and, consequently, cultural hierarchies. Techniques such as collage, appropriation, and cultural subversion are shared by many of the artists, leading to a converging interest in referencing reality and the everyday world.

Semiose is known for its unique approach to showcasing artists. Younger artists are exhibited side by side with established names and figures of international renown. Over the years and through a patiently developed professional network, various institutions and public collections have forged strong links with artists promoted by the gallery. Semiose, however, is committed to much more than simply representing artists: the gallery rigorously fulfills its role in the eco-system of art through its scientific and curatorial approach. It oversees the production of oeuvres and undertakes meticulous documentary and archival work around the artists it represents.

In addition to its gallery activities, Semiose has expanded its reach through a publishing house, Semiose éditions. Internationally available, more than a hundred titles have been published to date, including monographs, books by artists, written works and essays, an on-going magazine, and a collection of coloring books.

Semiose stands as a beacon of contemporary art, providing a platform for international artists and fostering a vibrant and inclusive art community. As it continues to evolve and expand, the gallery remains committed to showcasing the works of artists who reflect the Zeitgeist and to providing a unique and engaging experience for all who visit.
