LA PART DES ANGES
French Doors Art Speakeasy
October Edition
October always excites us: harvest season comes to a close, and we can finally step into autumn with a new rhythm—one made for contemplation, reflection, and witnessing the results of this year’s work. What better way to welcome the season than by opening the French Doors of our cellar for this special gathering filled with art, creativity, and pleasure.
French Doors has been an art speakeasy in San Miguel de Allende since 2022, featuring a selection of international emerging artists. French Doors focuses on developing and supporting artistic careers by engaging artists with the wider public through exhibitions, art dinners, and studio tours.
This October, two explorations meet inside the cellar:
Shinji works with droplets—tiny worlds suspended in time. His practice captures the fleeting beauty of their fall, their gathering, their dance. For San Miguel, he turns Garambullo wine into droplets, each piece becoming a constellation of joyful encounters before fading into memory.
Garambullo shares an ongoing research project developed over the past three years: chromatographies that trace the essence of our wines graphically. Rooted in methodologies for soil analysis and guided by the expertise of our dear friend Gabriela González, this work transforms scientific inquiry into visual poetry. Each chroma is a portrait of matter, a moment where the inner life of wine reveals itself.
Both Shinji’s droplets and our chromatographies are snapshots—fragile, luminous, and unrepeatable. One born of artistic play, the other of scientific curiosity. Together, they echo each other, expanding the ways we can see, feel, and honor the fleeting nature of life.
Thank you, French Doors. Your sensitivity in weaving worlds allows Shinji’s art and our research to stand in the same space, resonating in their differences and reminding us of what art brings to the world: the possibility to pause, to look, to appreciate, and to recognize that there is already something worthy of being seen.
