VILLEPIN is pleased to present As the Ground Holds, a focused exhibition bringing together works by Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, Zenzaburō Kojima, Lê Phổ, and Mai Trung Thứ—four artists who made Paris their home at a moment when the city stood at the forefront of modernism. This presentation marks Zenzaburō Kojima’s debut in a Hong Kong gallery, reuniting his work with that of his peers within migrant artist circles in Paris.

VILLEPIN is pleased to present White Noise, a major new exhibition by Marie de Villepin inaugurating the gallery’s long-term curatorial programme in Milan, unfolding through a series of exhibitions presented within the deconsecrated church of San Vittore. Conceived less as a conventional gallery than as a site for rare and immersive curatorial encounters, the programme invites artists to engage with the unique atmosphere, memory, and architectural presence of the space.
