The Célia B.Guedj gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Lyon being very nearly interested in the artists of the « Ecole de Paris » (Paris' school), of figurative trend. In this gallery, our essential vocation is to promote our artists, mainly aimed at a better understanding of the contemporary painting evolution.

Located within a quarter in full revival : the « Espace Merciere-Jacobins » , the gallery organizes every month an exhibition showing the personal paintings of a different artist. The success achieved during the varnishing days and their substantial consequences had incitated us to orientate ourself on new viewpoints. The gallery has refined its choices and has asserted itself in the french artistic market. We exhibit the paintings of about thirty artists of worldwide reputation.
Our painters´ quality and diversity, as well as the success of our monthly exhibitions have allowed us to open a second gallery (located near the first). Henceforth, we plan the promotion of our artists, not only on a national scale, but on an international scale. The works of our artists are permanently exhibited in our gallery.

Celia B.Guedj the inspired...

Can we pass over silence a name(a first name)which helds high the motion of the beautifull?Can we pass over in silence the soul of a house?In the haute couture it is impossible, the major houses are precisely all related « body an soul» to the renowed designers! In gastronomy, it´s the same. A renowned chief makes the reputation of a starry restaurant! Why it will be different for the artists? Why the name of a gallery would not feet and fists-joined to the name of the gallery owner? As regards arts,we must have real intuitions and believe more than anything in what we are doing to succeed in standing out.The soul of the artists will be dead if the crusade in showing them is´nt held by somebody with convictions!

Celia B.Guedj emerged in this way on a bigger territory of great stature to painters more international, of whom she built-one by one-the reputation. It´s need a firm-handedness,doubled with an eye( and great ambitions) to hold at arm´s length an art gallery which-en soi- is a kind of «stable of stallions»( of talents). It´s really the stake on a gallery. The stake on the artists, as the punter bats on the good horses... Celia B.Guedj controls perfectely her subject.In business, no feebleness, but which velvet glove behind the flashing smile... It´ll take enough to encourage (invite) a clientele of connoisseurs to follow and go on , to invest therefore... Of course an expert eye is needed to make a proposition worthy of big collections to meet the requirements of the purchasers... Celia B.Guedj has imposed, since more than ten years, her personnal choices! Sign of persuasion, doubled with the talent of scouts. Yes, the gallery owners are «headhunters», «masters of artists» and Celia B.Guedj-in view of her programm-deserve these therms assumed by many others.
From Lyon , the young woman (whose the name is attached an initial constitutes henceforth a label) made up a magnificient team of painters she is supporting since the opening of the her gallery.

Only Celia B.Guedj was able to hunt down such talent!
