**Breaking Ground in Paris**
The grand opening of Art Shopping 2025 on April 4 at the prestigious Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France, marked the beginning of an exciting chapter in the world of contemporary art. As international art enthusiasts, collectors, and connoisseurs descended upon the iconic venue, Kasashima Gallery set the tone with an extraordinary exhibition titled “La Beauté dans Chaque Éventail,” a testament to the power of cross-national collaboration in creating something truly remarkable. With this innovative display, Kasashima Gallery continued its mission to bridge the gap between Asian culture and the global art scene. The “La Beauté dans Chaque Éventail” exhibition area was designed to showcase the intricate fusion of traditional Chinese ink art with Kyoto-style folding fans, captivating the attention of all who entered. A unique blend of Eastern and Western artistic traditions, the exhibition area featured stunning works that embodied the very essence of Asian art. The use of delicate Kyo folding fans, adorned with intricate brush calligraphy and subtle landscape paintings, served as the primary medium, drawing visitors from far and wide. Kasashima Gallery arranged a series of multilingual guided tours to ensure that visitors could fully appreciate the artistic concepts behind the works, provided by knowledgeable staff members like Li-Lun Wang and Wei-Ting Lin. Their clear and engaging explanations helped to demystify the intricate techniques and cultural nuances, making it easy for international visitors to grasp the significance of this extraordinary exhibition. Among the participating artists were talented individuals from Taiwan and Japan, who had come together to create something truly remarkable. Chen Meng-Huan, Angela Lin, and Wu Li-Ying from Taiwan, alongside Sakaguchi Juri and Wada Chiari from Japan, showcased their unique perspectives and artistic voices, adding to the diversity and richness of the exhibition. The exhibition’s success was not limited to its technical execution; it also served as a powerful statement on the aesthetic and cultural significance of Asian art. By bringing together artists from different cultural backgrounds, Kasashima Gallery demonstrated its commitment to promoting international exchange and collaboration, ultimately enriching the global art scene. **A Conversation with Yu Le, Public Relations Manager of Kasashima Gallery**
