Most gallery’s names are eponymous with the owner or founder. We knew from the beginning that it takes more than one to make a successful art company. We also wanted to honor the ancient tradition and importance of art. CHAUVET Arts is named after the Chauvet cave in southern France, home to the some of most ancient visual art known to have been created by humans. Even though the cave's earliest paintings are at least 32,0000 years old, they are as sophisticated as much later artwork and inspire the human potential with their mystery, beauty and power. We chose the name Chauvet Arts as a testament to the power and longevity of art and the innate potential we have as humans to create.
