GALRY - Everything but a gallery

At GALRY, May is more than just a month — it’s a momentum. A cry. A declaration.
Rooted in the legacy of workers’ struggles, feminist movements, and anti-racist fights, this May 2025 celebrates art in its most committed, vibrant, and human form.

“Art must disturb comfort, shake certainty, and reveal the unseen.”
— Galry Manifesto

Through the intersecting visions of Seaty, C215, Caro Graffiti, and Stoul, this exhibition offers a journey through a world in flux — where the artist becomes witness, messenger, sometimes even a guide.
Seaty’s portraits, whether from Hanoi or Niamey, remind us that every gaze carries a story, a dignity, a voice too often forgotten.
C215 engraves memory into the walls — resistance fighters, thinkers, poets like Rimbaud or Raoni — restoring their presence in public space.
Caro Graffiti gives visibility to the invisible, with powerful work that blends feminism, urban life, and introspective tattooed narratives.
Stoul crafts a graphic language of geometric forms and vibrant colors, speaking of balance, the city, and freedom.

“Art as a manifesto” means speaking without words — painting to resist, posting to awaken, drawing to refuse silence.
In May 2025, these artists speak out — with spray cans, brushes, and scissors. So that their works, on canvas or on walls, may speak.
And so that we may listen.

ART IN THE SERVICE OF WOMEN OF INFLUENCE AND POWER

Join us in celebrating the influence and power of women through art!

On Friday, November 15, Caro Graffiti unveiled her new exhibition, “Body, Soul, and Ink,” at La Commanderie de Lacommande in the Southwest of France. On this occasion, the artist presented several new works, including:

• Heritage Rosa Parks,
• Frida Kahlo Generation,
• Malala,
• and Marianne, Tattooed Liberty.

In this historic stone setting, her creations made with aerosol spray and permanent ink shine brilliantly.

With this exhibition, Caro Graffiti shares her vision of contemporary women: free, determined, and deeply inspiring. She offers La Commanderie a bold and refreshed artistic perspective.

From the moment they enter, visitors are immersed in a world where each piece embodies a female figure. On canvas, concrete, or steel, the faces come to life, magnified by the delicate ink lines, the vibrancy of colors, and the captivating gazes that command attention.

The artist delves into the condition of women today, drawing inspiration from icons and activist figures. “It’s my feminist side,” she confides with a smile. She pays tribute to figures like Rosa Parks, Frida Kahlo, and Marianne—the republican symbol she reimagines in paintings, sculptures, and even on aerosol cans.
