Cecile Dufay
Gallery owner
French, English
Specialty: Multidisciplinary
Cécile Dufay promoted the young French scene from 2001 to 2009, then, after 120 first exhibitions, supported women artists who had reached the maturity of their art, from 2009 to 2011. She then became an exhibition curator, thanks to flash exhibitions offered by Isabelle Lefort in her own gallery. A member of the Carré sur Seine jury for the past 5 years, she has been present from the very beginning of the Rencontres Artistiques ofassociation.
In April 2021, on the day of the 3rd confinement, Cécile Dufay opens a tiny 10m2 gallery in the Village Suisse, in her own name. This unique address in Paris - a Swiss Village initially made up of antique dealers but now opening up to contemporary art - is a fascinating stroll through the centuries, just a few meters from the Grand Palais Ephémère. Cécile Dufay's aim is to create a breath of fresh air, a warm, intimate space that encourages exchange and immersion in the works on display, mainly paintings, and particularly those by the great colorists.
