Founded in 2015 in the heart of Caen’s historic centre, the Galerie Des Sens quickly became a distinctive space for contemporary creation, championing emerging and established artists through solo and group exhibitions. Under the direction of founder Laure Julien, the gallery cultivated an artistic vision designed to awaken and sharpen the senses, inviting visitors to contemplate nature’s mysteries, question social and political issues, and explore the many layers of visual language. Photography, digital art, painting, and other contemporary media were presented in a way that encouraged dialogue between artist and audience, making the gallery a meeting point for collectors, art lovers, and the simply curious. Over seven years, it hosted dozens of exhibitions and participated in regional cultural events, building a loyal network of supporters. While the physical space has since closed, the spirit of the Galerie Des Sens continues through its online presence and Julien’s personal studio, ensuring its commitment to creativity and sensory exploration lives on beyond its original walls.
