On view for two days only.
Summary
- AUPEN founder, Nicholas Tan, is set to debut his art exhibition, PARIS@STCLEMENTI.COM at Le Bon Marché
- The exhibition serves as a love letter to France and will run from December 13 – 14, 2025
Nicholas Tan, the founder of the globally acclaimed, LVMH Métiers D’Art-partnered brand AUPEN, is scheduled to make his first-ever public art debut with the exhibition PARIS@STCLEMENTI.COM at Le Bon Marché, France’s oldest department store, on the ground floor for two days, running from December 13 – 14.
The exhibition is conceived as Tan’s love letter to France, a country where he lived and worked while building AUPEN and where he rediscovered himself. For Tan, France represents a unique space where history, style, and rebellion coexist. The emotional core of the exhibition stems from his personal experiences in Paris, encompassing both a feeling of unconditional love and subsequent heartbreak. This personal journey culminates in his original song, “Open Your Heart,” which was inspired by his Parisian lover and is available on Spotify.
The lyrical content of the song, “Open Your Heart,” offers insight into the themes driving Tan’s debut, exploring a transition from a life built on “lines and marks” to one embracing vulnerability and authentic emotion. Lines like, “So I’ll open my heart, / Like a door left wide, / Let the rain and the sun collide,” and “And if I break, then break again / At least I’m living,” suggest a raw, unopened self finally allowing light and real experience in. The exhibition is anticipated to be a deeply personal and emotionally charged presentation of the artist’s multifaceted creative journey.
