Julie Vacher (born in 1989 in France) graduated from Le Fresnoy- Studio National des Arts Contemporains and from Beaux-Arts de Lyon. She stages the processes of transformation at play in human and non-human relationships, between the living and their environments in an era where the physical and the virtual rub shoulders. The field of her experiments touches on the ecological imaginary, the sanitary fantasy or the mythology of the world of work.

Albina Vakhitova (born in 1995 in Khabarovsk, Russia) is an artist, performer, choreographer, and movement director based in Paris.

She has worked with notable artists and choreographers, including Claudia Castellucci and Kirill Serebrennikov. Albina’s artistic approach is characterized by a unique blend of choreography, intuitive improvisation, and live art. She explores themes of performative transformation and cultural bricolage, drawing inspiration from elements such as dynamic sculpture, psychological reflection, and childlike innocence. Her company “SAAD” brings together over 30 artists from diverse backgrounds, focusing on artistic innovation and collaboration.

Pablo Valbuena develops art projects and research focused on space, time and perception. Born in
Spain and based in Toulouse, in the south of France.
His practice explores the overlap of the actual and the virtual, the generation of mental spaces by the
observer, the dissolution of boundaries between real and perceived, the bonds connecting space and
time, the primacy of subjective experience as a phenomenological tool to stimulate reflection and the
use of light and sound as prime matter.
These ideas are developed contextually and materialised in projects that are a direct response to the
perceptual qualities, physical conditions and surrounding influences of a certain location or space.
The resulting works have taken place in museums and private institutions, biennials and galleries in
the form of exhibitions, site-specific commissions, large-scale public interventions and more recently
live performances throughout Europe, Asia and America. Pablo has also addressed these topics in
academic contexts through artist talks and invited professorships in universities and cultural
institutions.

Nils Vandevenne is a painter, graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, he obtained his DNA at the Villa Arson. In his work, rather than painting, Nils Vandevenne seeks to de-paint, he chooses to remove it through a process that acts as a revelation. When he alters the surface, all the stratifications of the object's former life emerge. In 2020, he won a call for projects launched by the Ministry of Culture, and with Rayan Yasmineh, he created a series of murals for the same ministry. In 2022 he was named winner of the Maurice Colin-Lefranc prize as part of the Fondation de France's awards at the Beaux Arts de Paris. In October he was resident at Hangar Y in Meudon in collaboration with Artagon and Art Explora. He lives in Paris and works at POUSH in Aubervilliers.

Trained at the Caen School of Fine Arts, Charlotte van Kemmel is best known for her drawings, although she also creates sculptures and films.
Whilst her delicate art is deliberately figurative, the subjects are not always immediately recognisable. She enjoys capturing reality as she perceives it on social media, on the radio and whilst cycling around Paris, as well as the reality she experiences through her intensive practice of Hatha Yoga. Gouache, which is quicker, more direct, delicate and inexpensive, allows her to maintain an accessible and modest practice and to work with speed and freedom. As a colourist, she works with vivid, contrasting and intense palettes. Her use of colour, watercolour, ink and gouache in particular, allows her to move quite naturally towards painting, which, for several years now, has been a field of experimentation for her. She is always exploring; there is no predefined plan. Her drawing is imbued with the spirit of abstraction: she works with form, mass, empty and full spaces, whilst at the same time seeking to construct a narrative. Both occur simultaneously, in a state of constant tension. She believes she is seeking the enigma and allowing her unconscious to emerge. Just like Hatha Yoga, her painting is a tool for emancipation.

Francoise Vanneraud (born in 1984, in Nantes) is a multidisciplinary artist, working between Paris and Madrid. Her work explores the territory as a scene of life, the landscape is a fundamental part of it, a strong argument to help the viewer reflect on his place in the world, the meaning of life and the relationships we establish in this existential journey with the rest of mortals, men and women made of the same material, although marked by borders that separate and unite.

After studying law in Paris and cinema in New York, Dune Varela (born in 1976) dedicated herself to dedicated herself to silver photography as the starting point for a field of investigation and questioning of investigations and questionings on the iconography of the ruin and the collapse. Interweaving different temporalities, from the ancient to the contemporary, she elaborates a speculative archaeology where the image, printed on fragments of marble, ceramic or concrete, changes in its turn into a vestige. She then extends the field of her research to video and cinema.

Evita Vasiļjeva (b. 1985, Riga) is an artist and educator based between Riga and Paris. Working across outdoor sculpture, site-specific installations, and sensory environments, she transforms disregarded materials and architectural fragments into new forms with reimagined functions. Her practice explores tensions between history and future, decay and renewal, weaving together memory, dreaming and space. Recent highlights include the Baltic Triennial (2021), the Lyon Biennial (2022), and Manifesta (2026).

Felipe Vasquez (born in Cali, Colombia) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Paris. His practice focuses on performance, photography, installation, sound/vocal works, poetry, dance, and gastronomy. He studies the relationship between humanity and the natural world, spirituality, interspecies dynamics, the alarming conditions of our environment, and the social parameters of marginalization. He obtained a BFA from SVA in New York in 2016. In 2020, he graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris where he worked in the studios of Emmanuelle Huynh, Alvaro Urbano, Petrit Halilaj, and Angelica Mesiti.

Louis Verret (born 1988 in Paris) studied at Central Saint Martins in London. He graduated in 2012. His practice is multidisciplinary and variable: from the writing of a book presented as a happening (Le goût de l'aspirine), he moves on to an installation work composed of the remnants of a child's bedroom (La naissance de A.), to the literary criticism of the work of a pornographic actress (Adriana), to the study of the poetic charge of the book object via poetry and watercolor painting (Aussi:). He is currently engaged in the writing of a new body of work centered around passion and soccer.

Allan Villavicencio’s (Mexico, 1987) practice develops the notion of a “metabolic painting” where temporalities and formal layers overlap. Working with fragmented and recycled canvases, he cultivates a visual language shaped by anthropomorphism and sensory correspondences. The surface becomes a pictorial skin connecting corporeality, landscape, and architecture. Allan Villavicencio has exhibited in institutions and galleries including Museo Tamayo, Museo Carrillo Gil, Museo El Eco, Galería Karen Huber (Mexico) ; Friedman Benda (New York) ; Cité des Arts de Montmartre, Galerie Mitterrand (Paris) ; and Dirimart (Istanbul).

Born in 1986 in Washington DC, Marie de Villepin grew up in the United States and India. In 2005 she settled in New York and later in Los Angeles, where she developed various music projects before devoting herself entirely to painting. After participating in several group exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles and Beijing, she had her first solo exhibition "New Creatures" in 2019, marking her return to Paris. After an exhibition at Galerie Charraudeau entitled "The Lost Weekend" in 2022, she was sponsored by Anselm Kiefer to participate in the Prix Marin. Her last solo exhibition "Murmurations" can be viewed till March 2023 at Villepin Gallery in Hong Kong. Her work, which focuses on oil painting, deeply resonating with her time, oscillates between figuration and abstraction.

Leila Vilmouth, a visual artist born in 1999 in Paris. She graduated with highest honors from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in 2024, from the Janssens, Berrada & Echard studio. In 2019, she participated in Espaces de réflexions at the Spiral Wacoal Art Center in Tokyo; in 2020 in 100% L’EXPO – sortie d’école at the Grande Halle de la Villette; in 2022 at Musashino Art University in Tokyo and at Galerie Jousse in Paris; in 2023 at Galerie Air de Paris; in 2025 at Verksmidjan Art Center in Iceland; and in the ASA residency at HFBK.

Ivan Volkov works with such media as sculpture, painting, graphics, and also carries out actions that later exist in the form of photographic documentation. In his artistic practice, the artist reflects on the problems of the precariat: a socially unsettled stratum of society that does not have full guaranteed employment. It is the representatives of this class who are most often the main characters of fictional scenes in which their daily life is recreated. However, Volkov does not simply transfer what he sees to canvas, fabric or drawing paper; his typical technique is to bring a single situation to the point of absurdity by replacing familiar realities with diametrically opposed ones. Moreover, the laconicism of the artistic language helps to fit all the paradoxical components into a single organic canvas."

From anticipation to raw reality, Jesse Wallace's (b. 1991) work is based on a porosity of the lived and fantasized worlds and assumes the position of the artist as a trickster in these different settings. He approaches the questions of image in touch with those of sculpture. While he seeks to extract the photo from its traditional format and detach it from the plane of the wall, his sculptures that he makes offer them a new framework capable of contextualizing or diverting them. While experimenting in both mediums simultaneously for the telling of his own stories, Jesse Wallace continues to spill over his workspace everywhere by inviting elements from the studio into the exhibition.

Katarzyna Wiesiolek (born 1990 in Nowogard, Poland) lives and works in Paris. She graduated from ENSBA in 2018. Neither reportage, nor fiction, nor testimony, her drawings restore emotions. Because they are born from her memory, her works often directly resonate with her personal life, drawing from a fundamentally intimate space of contemplation, which is her own and which makes her richness.

Under the name Xolo Cuintle, Valentin Vie Binet (1996) and Romy Texier (1995) form an artistic duo with complementary practices, through installation and spatiotemporal immersion. With stylistic concerns that seem similar to those of Duke Jean Des Esseintes (the protagonist of the novel À rebours by Joris-Karl Huysmans), or simply jealous of his decadence, the duo builds inhabitable or inhabited spaces, on the edge of the dream and simulacrum. These spaces are marked by an undefinable temporality and anchored in a domesticity that seems deserted, always awaiting something. Between furniture and sculpture, scenery and intimate interior, their constructions are complex and meticulous structures, where furnishings can be sculptures, pedestals or backdrops. In this intimate architecture, objects live peacefully, ideally placed according to their eyes.

Kai Yoda (b. 1985, Tokyo; lives and works between Paris, Tokyo, and Berlin) studied environmental information at Keio University before completing an MFA in Photography and Moving Image at the Royal College of Art, London. From 2015 to 2025, he formed the duo Ittah Yoda with Virginie Ittah, developing a practice centered on multiplicity, symbiosis, and ecology.
Since 2025, his work brings together painting, sculpture, and performative elements to create immersive, sensorial environments shaped by ideas of origin, transformation, and collectivity. His exhibitions function as evolving landscapes where images, objects, and gestures interact, inviting fluid, embodied experiences rather than fixed narratives. Drawing on references from prehistoric life and food practices to wearable forms and scenography, his work approaches exhibition-making as a shared, relational space.
Upcoming solo exhibitions include Bremond Capela (Paris), Parcel (Tokyo), and Daiwa Foundation (London). Recent solo shows have been presented at ROH (Jakarta), Jérôme Poggi Gallery (Paris), and the Centre International d’Art et du Paysage de l’Île de Vassivière. His work is held in major public collections including FRAC des Pays de la Loire, FRAC Artothèque Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Château La Coste, Sigg Art Foundation, Misk Foundation, and the Tumurun Museum.

Born in 1990, Jisoo Yoo is a South Korean artist and graduate of ENSAPC - Ecole nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris Cergy and Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. Through a varied practice combining drawing, installation and performance, she develops a universe based on the notions of fragility and uncertainty that intrude on our everyday perceptions. She reconstitutes familiar spaces that are fragile, unstable and ephemeral, making them appear and disappear by moving them around different places, or by trying to inhabit these ephemeral and fragile spaces to explore the notion of momentary identities. She has won the ADAGP 2023 Digital Art Video Art Revelation Prize, the 2022 Jury Prize at the 18th Champigny Biennial of Contemporary Art, and the FoRTE (Fonds Régional pour les Talents Émergents) grant. Her work has been shown in a number of venues in Paris and the surrounding region, including Le Centquatre, La Villette, Fondation EDF, Les Abattoirs (Toulouse), Les Magasins généraux (Pantin) and Les Tanneries - Centre d'art contemporain.

Mengzhi Zheng is a visual artist. His practice lies at the intersection of sculpture, installation, drawing, and architecture, and is grounded in the use of found materials conceived as drawings in volume. His visions of space and dreams of architecture, positioned between function and utopia, emerge from protocols shaped by context, tools, and working situations, and unfold both in the studio and in public space. His work explores notions of habitat, transformation, and the relationship to the environment.

Alexandre Zhu, of Chinese origin, was born in Paris in 1993 where he shared his childhood with Shanghai. His drawings are made with charcoal, an age-old technique that allows him to question the growing mutations of urban environments. Through the use of fragments, figurative forms are diverted: detached from any environment, they are revealed at the junction of an abstract universe. He won the Pierre David-Weill drawing prize in 2021 at the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the Dauphine prize in 2022, and participated in the last Artpress Biennial in Montpellier (MOCO & Musée Fabre).

Kyvèli Zoi is a painter based between Athens and Paris. Influenced by her international background, Kyvèli draws inspiration from the roots of traditional music, history and social struggle. Her vision and understanding of the world take form in oneiric scenes that are constructed to highlight the value of the details that make the ordinary, extraordinary. Through figuration, Kyvèli composes an amplified theatricality that proposes glimpses into the spiritual connection between human communities and the broader natural environment. Kyvèli has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions internationally, in Europe, the United States and Asia. Her collaborators span from galleries and institutions, to film directors and designer brands. Since 2022 she is an awarded member of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artworks Artist Fellowship. Kyvèli is also the founder of KYAN, a residency program in Athens.
