Over the past five years, Villepin has championed artists and created spaces where their voices endure. This anniversary exhibition, The Villepin House, brings together works by Zao Wou-Ki, Myonghi Kang, Marie de Villepin, Lawrence Carroll, and Yukimasa Ida - visionaries who represent different chapters of Villepin’s story.

Villepin’s journey began in 2020 with Friendship & Reconciliation, an exhibition dedicated to Zao Wou-Ki - a natural choice, as Villepin’s founders shared a deep friendship with the artist long before the gallery was conceived. Today, this bond is reflected in a new commission: a tapestry inspired by Zao’s triptych Le vent pousse la mer (2004–2005). Woven over 1,000 hours by the artisans at Pinton using 120 colours, it captures the chromatic depth and spirit of Zao’s original oil on canvas, a symbol of continuity and transformation.

Since then, Villepin has curated over twenty exhibitions, including four museum shows in China and Korea, and curated four exhibitions at unique locations across the globe
