Farid Kati
Farid Kati (1994) is a Franco-Algerian artist whose multidisciplinary practice—spanning installation, sculpture, video, and drawing—explores invisible forces and dynamics of displacement. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Le Mans and Paris, he creates kinetic dispositifs that transform wind into “adugraphies” (adu meaning wind in Berber), revealing questions of memory, migration, transmission, and mobility through sensitive, site-related forms.
Solène Kerlo
After studying at EM Lyon and ESMOD Paris, which led her to undertake a six-month initiation journey in Asia, Solène Kerlo (born in 1990 in Suresnes) decided, at age 30, to pursue her childhood passion, which she had neglected for too long: painting. Using an earthy and textured palette, she represents the symbols of an imaginary and spontaneous calligraphy, as though she was unearthing from the bowels of the earth a universal and immemorial language, which would establish a communication
between the visible and the invisible, between matter and spirit.
Alexandre Khondji
Alexandre Khondji’s practice (born in France) is grounded in a contextual and experimental approach. His works, diverse in form and method, seek a balance between the act of intervention and the intrinsic qualities of the contexts they inhabit.
His work has been presented at the Okayama Art Summit in Japan, the Fondation Pernod Ricard in Paris, Sweetwater gallery in Berlin, the Museum für Moderne Kunst (MMK) in Frankfurt, the CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain in Bordeaux, and the LUMA Foundation in Arles.
Morteza Khosravi

She is interested in the forms and practices linking humans to the invisible and the sacred in pre-modernity, and what they do to the noeliberal scheme. Her works are ways of keeping in touch with the embedded memories and hallucinations that the earth holds.
Léa Klein
Léa Klein learnt drawing at the Lycée Estienne. She then entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, where she discovered sculpture in Giuseppe Penone’s workshop. Léa Klein reflects on these experiences through her practice of drawing. The graphic activity, influenced by the rhythm of ornamental Guyanese sculpture, transcribes the character of the places that the collective has frequented over the past decade.

She is a member of the feminist association Contemporaines and the Bureau des penseur.euses at POUSH.
Sarah Knill Jones
Sarah Knill-Jones' (born in 1969 in London) work investigates the human figure and its propensity for the monstrous as well as the power of abstract gesture to create a visceral response to the world. Often inspired by the relationship between humans and nature, she seeks to provoke reflection on the duality of our relationship to our environment. She explores the expressive links between the substance of painting and the body through painting, photography, monotype, video, and collaborative projects.
Nina Koltchitskaia
Painter of Russian origin. Born in Moscow (in 1987), she lived in Laos and Italy before settling in Paris. After studying literature, philosophy, and photography school, Nina Koltchitskaia turned to painting. She expresses herself through poetry and painting in a unique and sensitive style. On canvases or large murals, her intuitive works express freedom and romance. Her work is characterized by a soft and dreamy atmosphere, where each piece becomes an emotional journey. Through her creations, Nina Koltchitskaia invites an intimate exploration of the human soul, blending sensitivity, poetry, and a touch of magic. She questions memory, the curvature of time, and the representation of love. Her paintings evoke the tranquility preceding a storm, capturing frozen landscapes and dreamlike scenes where flying fish and birds converse with the moon, in a palette of romantic colors. NK regularly exhibits her projects in Paris (« la Femme fleur et
l’Oiseau » musical portraits - 2021) and in Asie (« Romance » museum of Contemporary art of Seoul - 2021, and « le Tour du Monde avant la Tempête » solo show at the WWF gallery Seoul,

Gabrielle Kourdadze
Born in 1995, Gabrielle Kourdadzé grew up in Paris in a French-Georgian family. She graduated in 2019 from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Her work revolves around the mediums of ink drawing and oil painting, and deals with the representation of the body and its inscription in the social space. She is also a musician (piano, accordion and singing), and her plastic works are combined with sound installations.
Emma Kovo
The practice of Emma Kovo (born in 2000 in Paris) gravitates around the imprint through different techniques of collage, photogram, and printing, such as engraving or silk screen. The intention is not to keep the trace of existing things but to use as raw material the artist’s own plastic traces, the material that she creates, samples, and diverts. She experiences the ardor of the gesture and of this gesture she keeps a trace which will be transformed, accumulated, saturated, then altered.
KRAKEN
Currently based in Paris and fascinated by his contemporaries, everyday objects, and the transformations of the body related to the passage of time. In 2012, in order to escape the feeling of isolation imposed by studio work, the artist started painting alone in the streets using a brush. His giant octopuses now sprawl all over Paris, their endless tentacles running across the city's facades and rooftops. "I love the idea of painting in urgency," Initially preoccupied with his studio work (drawing, painting, and video), Kraken "observes life unfolding, even the least graceful of it."
Nika Kutateladze
Nika Kutateladze was born in 1989, in Tbilisi. He studied on the faculty of Architecture at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts between 2007 – 2011. In 2013 he graduated an informal master’s course at the Centre of Contemporary Art, Tbilisi (CCA-T). The majority of the artworks comprise installations and sculptures, reflecting day-to-day consumerism and different environmental issues. His later artistic utterances challenge the transformative process of architectural spaces and urban environment, in general.

Helene Labadie
Hélène Labadie is an artist and object designer. In ceramics, glass, textile or metal, her creations seem to be caught between two disciplines, at the border of art and design. Largely anthropomorphic, the objects "are directly inspired by film characters" she confides. Her strange and unique objects are close to cartoon characters with which she recreates her own fictions.
Constance Lafonta
Constance Lafonta (born in 1997, Paris) is a contemporary artist who explores profound themes such as memory, identity and human fragility. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and Central Saint Martins, she approaches her work with a philosophical reflection on the impermanence of memories and the way in which identity evolves over time. Her immersive work invites both a sensory and conceptual experience, questioning the viewer's perception of the fluidity of existence. Often involving a collaborative aspect, Constance also encourages reflection on the collective dimension of the human experience, highlighting the interaction between the individual and the collective, the tangible and the intangible. Her works thus become spaces for intellectual meditation, where notions of time and identity are constantly redefined.
Martin Laforêt
Martin Laforêt (born in 1991 in Paris), lives and works in Vernon, France. His work is part of the arte povera aesthetic, but does not follow any precise course of action. Inspired by artisanal know-how and the intelligence of the hand, he likes to handle the ambiguity of industrial construction materials to give them a new nobility. In contrast to the usual practices of design, which often seek to conceal technique for the benefit of aesthetics, he develops a language of deconstruction, or rather he unveils the construction.
Grégoire Laisné
Grégoire Laisné (born in 1982 in Tours) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, he started his artistic career as an engraver. He was awarded the Prix Lacourière for his first works on paper. His unique monotypes immediately stand out, through the presence/absence of the human figure in a kind of impossible and universal portrait. Whether it is through painting, printmaking or drawing, Grégoire Laisné is now developing very personal techniques, combining computer-based methods (digital drawing) and more traditional skills.
La Méditerranée
La Méditerranée is a research group cofounded by artists Mateo Revillo and Edgar Sarin, and art historian Ulysse Geissler. Each one, through his own experience, has developed processes and methods over the past decade with the purpose of supporting the singular ecology of each exhibition, like a space of action. Under this model, at the opening, neither the audience nor the artists can know where the exhibition is headed: its principle is built as the exhibition unfolds.
