"Placed across the exquisite six-acre scenery of luxury resort Bodrum Loft – located on the Demirbükü Bay in Bodrum, an ancient and artistic town situated on the Turkish peninsula – are a series of eighteen sculptures by twelve renowned living artists curated from across the world. Curated by Parisian gallery Perrotin alongside Artsa Consultancy under the exhibition title, French Delights, these exquisite pieces work in harmony with each other and their environment, sitting in dialogue with the surrounding nature; deep-azure waters, jagged cliffs and rich forestry."

"Subtle in their placement, each art piece is given the space to both blend in and stand out. From a distance, visitors first glimpse Manfredi (2019) by French artist Xavier Veilhan, a large, distorted, vivid orange bust situated on the roof of the resort, drawing a bold outline in the deep blue skies above the resort. On ground level, a series of figurines by Takashi Murakami are placed inside a site-specific Perrotin pop-up store, stocking everything from books to posters and mugs."

“I have always considered exhibitions as spaces that allow creativity and diversity to blossom, packed full of
opportunities to explore, review, compare, and experience,” said Selcan Atilgan, founder of Artsa consultancy and show curator. “For this show, I wanted to capture visitors’ imagination by offering a chance for them to understand the different ways in which sculptures are created, as well as the different ways to display and engage with the works. It is an honour to have brought Perrotin and Bodrum Loft together for this special project and I hope this exciting art trail will inspire and enrich people’s imaginations of what a sculpture is and can be.”
