François & Pierre Voirin

François Voirin (born in 1986) has worked in finance and textile industry. Pierre Voirin (born in 1985) is an architect. The two brothers joined forces in 2019 after rehabilitating a 1788 farmhouse in the Northern Alps. This project brought together all the convictions dear to them: the rehabilitation of built heritage and architecture. This realization allowed the creation of the agency between Paris and Morzine with projects of rehabilitation and new constructions.

Ivan Volkov

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."

Jesse Wallace

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.

Manon Wertenbroek

Manon Wertenbroek (born 1991 in Lausanne) obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree from the ECAL (Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne, Switzerland). Her work focuses on psychoanalytical themes as a vehicle to explore issues of introspection, identity, social interaction and emotion. She mixes abstract and figurative forms using various techniques such as sculpture, photography and installation to explore complex experiences of consciousness, sensation and behaviour such as archetypes, sexual desire or identity formation.

Katarzyna Wiesiolek

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.

Wiktoria Wojciechowska

Wiktoria (born in 1991 in Lublin) graduated from the Warsaw School of Fine Arts. The design of installations and performative sculptures, traces, ephemeral prints question and reactivate our perception of nature and bodies. The works embrace an open and free idea of sculpture, where the boundary of the object and the body is indeterminate and exists through physical encounter and interaction. They invite the visitor to perform their own ritualistic re-enactment of our relationship to nature.

Yixuan Xiao (肖懿轩)

Yixuan Xiao (肖懿轩) (born in 1993 in Suizhou, China) has been based in France since 2016. They studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and ENSP-Arles. Yixuan develops a transdisciplinary practice combining sculpture, performance, image, and text, exploring themes of identity, migration, and queerness. Their work unfolds around a practice of “translation” — an embodied process in which the body becomes a primary site of sensitive translation, a space of passage, language, and continuous evolution where memories, emotions, and desires for emancipation intertwine.

Xolo Cuintle

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.

Rayan Yasmineh

Born in 1996, lives and works in Paris. Represented by the Mor-Charpentier gallery. Rayan Yasmineh is a young painter, graduated with honors from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, he previously obtained his DNA during a 3-year course at the Villa Arson. It was during his studies that he was introduced to the postulates of modern Western painting and developed a series of reflections on the plane, line and color, as well as on the tests of perspective and ornament. Having grown up to the rhythm of back and forth between France and the Middle East, he draws from the registers of Persian miniature and Arab iconography in order to build an aesthetic dialogue around a multiple identity.

Assia Yaziame

Yaziame is a young Algerian artist photographer, who grew up in Montfermeil, France. Self-taught in her artistic practice, and graduated in psychology, she works with her mother's analog camera, and her father's VHS.

Kai Yoda

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.

Jisoo Yoo

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.

Simon Zaborski

Simon Zaborski (born in 1989 in Toronto, Canada) studied at the Rosedale Heights School for the Arts of Toronto, and graduated from Concordia University in Montreal. He has developed part of his work in collaboration with the MAW Collective in Montreal.

Mengzhi Zheng

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.

Ziyue Zhou

Zhou Ziyue (born in 1989 in Xiapu, China) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Lyon. Usually taking the form of installations in space, her works are composed of different mediums. This assemblage of fragments is always linked to the place in which she works. She questions the usual, gestures, the place of objects in space, trying to invent a kind of visual haiku, an unstable landscape.

Alexandre Zhu

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

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.
