We welcome recent graduates and emerging artists from around the world to participate in Scentless Depths, a 3-day group exhibition organised by Sol de Paris and Zhen Yi Gallery. The exhibition is themed around water — not merely as subject, but as method, rhythm, and resonance — inviting works that explore stillness that carries force and silence that speaks.

Zhen Yi Gallery, a young gallery founded this year, in collaboration with Sol de Paris Gallery, invites artists to take part in its inaugural exhibition Scentless Depths, exploring the theme of water. 

The exhibition will take place in a physical gallery in Le Marais, Paris — one of the city’s most vibrant art districts near the Centre Pompidou — with expected footfall from both local art audiences and international visitors.

Scentless Depths

An exhibition–meditation on water as essence, presence, and depth.

We invite artists to engage with water not merely as subject, but as method, rhythm, and resonance — to explore stillness that carries force and silence that speaks.

🌊 About the Project

This exhibition draws inspiration from two timeless Chinese expressions: “True water has no scent” and “Still water runs deep.”

They evoke quiet power — presence that doesn’t announce itself, clarity without display.
In a time of excess, noise, and constant self-exposure, Scentless Depths invites artists to encounter the invisible — the internal flow and the weightless resonance.
