The work of Aleksandr Avagyan (born in 1990, in Yerevan, ex-USSR of Armenia), if it feeds of course on all the formalist inheritance of the painting called abstract, it refuses the sublime, ideal and deterritorialized character of it, by a questioning of the political nature and thus fragile, fragile because political, of the given perimeter inside which the art is possible.

Hugo Avigo (b. 1988) is a graduate of Central Saint-Martins (London) and Beaux-Arts de Paris (2015). His practice is based around investigations into public spaces, science fiction and chaos. His multidisciplinary practice includes installation, painting, sculpture and food. He has exhibited in institutions and galleries in France and Europe, including Collection Lambert (Avignon 2018), Frac Ile-de-France (Les Réserves 2022). He won the FoRte prize in 2020 and the Académie des Beaux-Arts painting prize (Pierre Cardin / Institut de France).

Alex Ayed (born in 1989 in Strasbourg) lives and works in Brussels. First trained in photography in Tunis, he joined the workshops of Guillaume Paris and Tania Bruguera. He graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2015. His work ranges from collecting and assembling found objects to sound installation: the artist oscillates between different practices with the aim of keeping a global and non-specialized approach.

Ece Bal (born in 1992 in Turkey), after completing the first year of her Master’s at Central Saint Martins, graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2022 with honors.Her work focuses on creating multisensory experiences that explore relationships of scale and engage with cycles of materials and their transformations. Her practice is rooted in process-based explorations of natural materials. She recontextualizes traditional techniques such as ebru, glass, and plant-based dyeing through a contemporary and experimental lens, often incorporating elements such as olfaction and video.

Julie Balagué (born in 1986 in Toulouse) graduated from the ENS Louis-Lumière. Since then, she has pursued a double career. On the one hand, she collaborates with the national press; on the other hand, she develops more personal projects. A resolute feminist, she has been working regularly on an intimate series on femininity and motherhood. Since her first series, she has conducted long interviews with the persons she photographs. The image becomes inseparable from the text or the sound. In the last few years, she has completed her practice with research on photographic materials and forms.

Simmon Ballagny (born in 1994, Paris) lives and works in Paris. He graduated with a master's degree in printed image from ENSAD in 2020, with honors from the jury. Since his graduation project, he has been exploring the practice of writing and its presentation through installation, drawing, reading, and especially humor. His inspirations are diverse, ranging from administrative documents and dad jokes to political speeches, grammar manuals, and lyrics from pop music. The composite nature of his works involves presenting them in diverse spaces such as magazines, design festivals, fanzines, writing and printing workshops, and various events. His curatorial activities have also led him to organize several guerrilla collective exhibitions, including one in his garbage room and another in the lockers of the Centre George Pompidou.

Starting from a designer's position, Thomas Ballouhey (born in 1990) experiments in his work with materials and techniques that go against the grain of what we expect from traditional craftsmanship or industry by appropriating hobbyist and vernacular techniques. These materials and techniques are found in objects that seem to have come out of sets or that could be relics of another civilization sharing strange common points with ours.

Sosthène Baran is a French artist born in 1990, living and working in Paris. His work combines painting, found objects, and sculpture on reclaimed or constructed supports. Through landscapes, figures, and assemblages, he develops a luminous and uncanny universe nourished by science fiction, the sacred, and apparitions, exploring memory, belief, and human traces.

Rose Barberat (born in 1994 in the Jura) has been studying at the Beaux-Arts de Paris since 2017, at Tim Eitel’s workshop and then Nina Childress’.
Her practice of painting questions the contemporary issues of representation. Her paintings, conceived as “objects of contemplation”, discuss the idea of staging and cause a shift, a confusion between the likely and the real. Rose develops a figurative pictural vocabulary, using references to narration, the genre of the novel and more precisely to autofiction. She also examines the different ways to create fiction starting from documents obtained through photographic sources.

Anaïs Barras is a French artist living and working in Paris, and a resident artist at POUSH. A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris and holder of a Research & Creation Master’s degree from Université Paris 8, she co-founded the company CREME SOLEIL in 2020. Her transdisciplinary practice combines dance, performance, video, and publishing, exploring the connections between ecology, the body, and new technologies. Her work is exhibited both in France and internationally.

Fanny Béguély (born in 1990) is a visual artist and filmmaker, a graduate of Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. In her work, she deconstructs the Western dualistic heritage, which has drawn a sterile line between the visible and the invisible, the flesh and the spirit, the human and the other than human. Navigating in the register of fiction as in that of documentary, his films make mythical times and contemporaneity collide.
His photographic approach is done without a camera, working with the photosensitive material as a living medium in an attempt to capture the elemental and metamorphic forces of life.

Pierre Bellot (born in 1990) graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris with congratulations from the jury in 2015. His work revolves around central questions of staging and construction. In his paintings, he organises his subjects - taken from various photographic sources or personal archives - to create fictions whose composition obeys its own rules and creates a new meaning.

Born in 1992 in Algeria, Abdelhak Bennallou entered the School of Fine Arts in Paris in 2020 after 5 years at the Fine Arts of Algiers and an art degree obtained in Dunkirk in 2019. Abdelhak's work in painting is built on a realistic practice. In addition to its technical quality he seeks through his works, often presented in series, a pictorial narrative. He develops a reflection on behavior and social relations. His inspiration is drawn from everyday life.

Cecilia Bengolea (born in 1979 in Buenos Aires) works on a range of media including performance, video, and sculpture, using dance as a tool and a medium for radical empathy and
emotional exchange. Infused with the symbolic energies found within nature and relationships, her compositions are formed around the idea that the body – both individually and collectively – as a medium. Cecilia develops a broad artistry where she sees performance as animated sculpture, where she herself is both object and subject in her own work.

Sami Benhadj Djilali (born in 1977 in Algiers) graduated from the ECAL in 2003 with a master's degree in Visual Arts. His work revolves around a reflection on the framework of the painting. Used for sculptural purposes, the materials of choice of the painter interact in his works with heterogeneous elements. By subjecting them to various tensions, he seeks a point of limit, on the edge of the rupture. He thus develops an ambivalent practice, carried by the contradictory desire to orchestrate the accident.

Nina Berclaz (FR-CH) is a choreographer/dancer/puppeteer. She relies on the territory of the body to apprehend contexts and explore the invisible. Her practical and conceptual research is interested in notions of belonging, memory, alienation, transmission, eroticism, the game of de/contamination, queer feminism, and raw presence that can welcome the absurd. Nina graduated with a BA in Contemporary Dance from TrinityLaban London Conservatoire (2013) and a Masters in Choreographic Research from Montpellier ICI-CCN Occitanie (2019). She has made numerous collaborations with visual artists, composers, directors and is involved in the development of collective artistic approaches.

Since then, she has presented her work in many festivals in Europe and internationally (Greece, England, Germany, Burkina Faso, Congo, Switzerland etc.)

Amélie Bernard (born in 1990 in Paris) is a multidisciplinary artist. She lived in Beirut for two years, during which she was able to define her artistic practice, exploring abandoned contemporary space as a timeless vehicle for memory and heritage. Her artistic techniques vary according to the subject matter. The materials that she uses and the way she assembles them are inspired by the dispositives of construction and destruction of urban space, which allows her to play on the timelessness of what she represents.

Born in 2000 in Paris, Zoé Bernardi is a visual artist and filmmaker. From 2019 to 2024, she studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in the studios of Clément Cogitore and Agnès Geoffroy, graduating with highest honors in June 2024. Alternating between still and moving images, Zoé Bernardi seeks to reveal the power of singularity and questions the construction of normality and marginality, using intimacy as a site of experimentation.
She has exhibited her works and screened her films at the Palais de Tokyo, the Musée du Louvre, the Centre Culturel Jean Cocteau, Photo Saint-Germain, the Fondation Ricard, Hôtel La Louisine, Galerie des Filles du Calvaire, and the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, among others. She received the Sisley Grant 2025 and was the jury’s special mention for emerging creation at the BAL/ADAGP Prize.

Maëva Berthelot is a choreographic artist and teacher whose work is characterized by experimental, collaborative and transdisciplinary approaches. Born in 1985 in Paris, of Guadeloupean and Greek origin, she obtained her MA in contemporary dance from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris in 2003. However, it is abroad that she pursues her artistic career for 20 years. Her return to France brought her a critical look at French society and institutions and the issues that persist there. As a result, she sees the choreographic space as an opportunity to create places of resistance, empathy and emotional exchange. Drawing on somatic practices and improvisation techniques, her research is anchored in movement and conceives the body as a receptacle for the echoes of individual and collective memory. In parallel with her work as a performer (Ohad Naharin, Hofesh Shechter, Roberta Jean, Emanuel Gat, Damien Jalet, Sharon Eyal...), her practice explores the multiple layers of the body as well as the invisible systems and structures to which it belongs and with which it interacts.

Son travail s’inscrit dans un contexte de recherche fondé sur la pratique superposant un cadre artistique à un cadre scientifique.

Raphaëlle Bertran (born in 1992 in Paris) graduated with a Master’s degree in Philosophy of Art from Paris IV in 2015 and a DNSAP from Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020.
Raphaëlle Bertran Pinheiro deploys her technique on large formats. Her pictorial universe is rich in references to philosophy (Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Maurice Blanchot, Heidegger...), literature (Georges Bataille, Fondane...) and art history. Her compositions appear as a compendium of human history, a universe where absurdity, terror and the force of life come together as a highly topical reflection of the world, a topicality restored from the material of the past.

Mehdi Besnainou Dounkas is a French artist born and living in Paris. He studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris (graduated in 2018) and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art (ENSAAMA). Mehdi Besnainou's work questions with humor and sarcasm the rites, codes and current trends of his generation and those of his contemporaries. He often projects himself into an imaginary and dystopian future to better reveal his identity and social crises. Whether in his most introspective or derisive thoughts on the human condition, his psychological troubles and dilemmas facing his place in a standardized society, his work is characterized by a permanent game between oral, written and drawn language, a compulsive daily repertory of analogy on the movements of the world, like a polymath in the digital age.

Luca Beux-Prere is the singer, songwriter, and composer behind Voxish Creek, a radical and deeply personal music project. The project is rooted in an instinctive expression where tension and chaos play a central role. Voxish Creek asserts music as a free artistic practice rather than a commercial product, embracing a deliberate and self-claimed sense of dissonance encapsulated in its motto: Cheating With Knowledge.
Luca also develops visual and sound installations/performances in collaboration with other artists.
