Art Narratives - Galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois in Paris.

Nathalie, George-Philippe and Marianne

From the Jardins du Luxembourg, walk down Rue Monsieur-le-Prince, cross over to Rue de Seine, and you’ll find yourself in a district known for its galleries and art shops.

For Tomi Ungerer, one of the most significant places for his work in this area is Galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois. Founded in 1990, the gallery takes an eclectic approach to contemporary and narrative art. Its exhibitions have highlighted Ungerer's bold visual language and commitment to freedom of expression. The gallery began representing Ungerer in 2019, continuing its focus on artists with socially engaged, avant-garde narratives.

The gallery’s leadership includes founders Nathalie and Georges-Philippe Vallois, along with Marianne le Métayer and Senior Director Dorian Dogaru. Ungerer's work has always shifted between the worlds of children and adults, immersed in a dark, discordant, and provocative humor that defines his style. For those looking to acquire original artwork, this is a recommended starting point. The gallery has hosted two major Ungerer exhibitions: Overdose in 2019 and Tomi L’Alchimiste – Le Grand Œuvre in 2023.

In addition to these exhibitions, the gallery regularly collaborates with institutions to broaden access to Ungerer's work. It has participated in international art fairs and played a key role in organizing retrospectives that showcase the diversity of his output.
