Press Release

Marguo is pleased to present Still Alive, a group exhibition that reimagines the still life as a living, emotionally charged form—no longer fixed or decorative, but porous, speculative, and shaped by memory, perception, and cultural hybridity.

Curated by Vanessa Guo, Jason Hwang, and Romain Chenais, the exhibition is anchored by historical still life from Zao Wou-Ki bridging together a new generation of artists of Asian and Asian diaspora heritage—Shuyi Cao, Chen Fei, He Xiangyu, Sean Shim-Boyle, Woo Hannah, Ziping Wang, and Alexandre Yang—whose practices expand and transform the genre across mediums and sensibilities. In a moment of global uncertainty, Still Alive explores stillness not as stasis, but as presence: a space where transformation, tenderness, and material imagination quietly unfold.

About the Gallery

Founded in late 2020 by art world veterans Vanessa Guo and Jean-Mathieu Martini, Marguo is a Paris-based contemporary art gallery nestled in the Marais, dedicated to championing emerging and early-career artists from around the globe. Drawing inspiration from the founders’ rich cultural heritages and global perspectives, Marguo bridges Eastern and Western artistic sensibilities, amplifying voices often sidelined by mainstream institutions. Embracing a spirit of hybridity, Marguo weaves together local, international, and digital narratives, reflecting an unwavering conviction that art and life are intricately entwined. At its heart lies a dynamic exhibition program—strengthened by participation in major art fairs and bold off-site initiatives—that propels its mission forward. This vision is enriched by complementary endeavors: Casa Marguo, an artist residency and salon set within a historic townhouse on the Balearic island of Menorca; Marguo Books, a platform for editorial projects; and Bar Saka, an artisanal mixology bar adjacent to the gallery in the Marais (launched in 2024), reimagining the fusion of art and hospitality.
