Summer Fireworks in Paris: the collective contemporary art exhibition at Goldshteyn-Saatort

The group exhibition Summer Fireworks reopened its doors on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at the Goldshteyn-Saatort Gallery, after its summer break. On view until September 15 at 7 rue de Verneuil, in Paris’s 7th arrondissement, it brings together artists from Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

Failing to have fireworks for Bastille Day in Île-de-France, the galerie Goldshteyn-Saatort brings together various artists for Summer Fireworks, its summer exhibition, from July 15 to September 15, 2026 (with a break throughout August). Based in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, this group exhibition gathers paintings, drawings and works on paper from several international art scenes.

Artists from Across Several Countries

Summer Fireworks operates on a simple premise: to bring together in a single venue artists whose styles, techniques and origins are as diverse as they are striking. The circuit notably includes Japan with Ito Chieko, South Korea with Zipcy, Australia with REKA, Canada with Christine Kim, Ireland with Fin DAC or the Netherlands with Leon Keer.

Each artist preserves their own universe. Some works rely on drawing and watercolor, while others draw on painting, cut paper, ink, or mineral pigments. The exhibition’s title points to this progression of colors and shapes, akin to a fireworks display made up of several distinctive artistic signatures.

From Japanese paper to optical illusions

Among the works announced is Flame and Lightning (炎雷) by Ito Chieko. Completed in 2022, the piece blends mineral pigments, acrylic, sumi ink, and gofun pigment on Japanese paper. The artist thus draws on a range of materials rooted in traditional Japanese painting practices.

Canadian artist Christine Kim presents, for her part, By Heart, a piece conceived in graphite, watercolor and cut paper. The sequence also features the works of Leon Keer, known for his exploration of perspective effects and optical illusions, as well as those by Fin DAC, REKA or Zipcy.

This exposition this summer mainly showcases the diversity of the forms taken by the art contemporain across countries, techniques, and personal trajectories. After the August break, the gallery will reopen in September, as the Paris cultural season gradually returns to its rhythm.
