Raphaëlle Bertran

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.

Luca Beux-Prere

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.

Yacob Bizuneh

Yacob Bizuneh (born 1983 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from the Allé School of Fine Arts and Design, where he later taught.
He produces and designs his artworks using different media such as found objects, performance and video installation and relates them to everyday life in a different context. Since his first personal works, Yacob has continuously explored the social, economic and political context and their consequences on human well-being in the countries he has visited.

Sofía Bonilla Otoya

Like exercises in genealogy, Sofía Bonilla Otoya researches and imagines why objects, colors, and forms became what they are. Working across sculpture, installation, painted fabrics, and video, her materials are approached as dialectical spaces of inheritance and indeterminacy. In that process, what emerges is a field of possibility structured by the “could have been” and the “could be,” where gestures function as provisional configurations.

Born and raised in Cali, Colombia, Sofía holds an MA in philosophy of art and aesthetics from Université Paris-Sorbonne and an MFA from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. She presented her first solo exhibition at N.A.S.A.L. gallery in Mexico City in 2025. Group exhibitions include Le Magasin in Grenoble, Borjesson Perrotti in Paris, Sissi Club in Marseille, ACME art fair in Mexico and The Salon by NADA and The Community in Paris.

Capucine Bonneterre

Capucine Bonneterre is an artist who graduated from ENSAD Paris. Working mainly with textiles, she has developed a particular interest in the reverse side of fabrics. Her work focuses on the transformation and partial disappearance of images from the top to the bottom of the weave. She plays with the way in which technique appears at the expense of image clarity and, conversely, with the way in which the image is defined as the technique becomes more discreet. Inviting an ecology of the gaze and reconnection, each textile piece is created as a liminal surface where another frequency of reality appears.
After experience in the fashion industry, then alongside Sheila Hicks, Capucine was the winner of an open call organized by the Cité internationale de la tapisserie. She also joined the Hermès Foundation's Academy on textiles.

François Bonnot

François Bonnot (born in Choisi le Roi in 1991) lives and works in Paris. He is interested in creating parallel universes, extrapolating them from the scenarios he writes. These stories, which often emerge from trivial details of reality, become tangible through the creation or alteration of objects. He invites us to refuse the banal by exaggerating it. He is interested in ancient methods of fabrication and in particular in the potter's wheel technique, which he puts at the service of the Bureau Idéal project, a duo formed with Giada Ganassin. Bureau Idéal creates objects that tell stories and open up the everyday to reverie and contemplation. The relationship between form and setting is central and one relies on the other to exist: stories unfold on the surface of the objects and revolve around them - without beginning or end.

Julia Borderie

Julia Borderie and Eloïse le Gallo (born in 1989) put the idea of the encounter at the heart of their approach. Their creative process is anchored in a poetic documentary method. Forms emerge from their interactions with the persons that they meet in specific contexts. Meaning is constructed in the plasticity of the works, like a sensitive memory of human encounters. This research project takes various forms (exhibitions, films, performances, radio programs), including multiple collaborations.

Lucas Bouan Tsobgny

Lucas Bouan Tsobgny (born in 1996 in Paris) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021. As a multidisciplinary artist, he attended several workshops, notably Emmanuelle Huynh's dance workshop. His work will take a decisive turn when he will integrate his body to the materials he creates. Sculptor and performer, he creates contemporary rites where he metamorphoses to establish bridges between multiple identities.

Léonard Bourgois Beaulieu

Léonard Bourgois Beaulieu is a visual artist whose work has long explored the notion of plural identities. Faces, bodies, time and nature, memory and painting form the core of his explorations, which he approaches through chemical and optical processes to create a pictorial body of work with strong materiality. His practice investigates the material and conceptual possibilities of photographic imagery, combining experimental analog techniques, modified digital devices, and transformations of various supports. Through these methods, he seeks to provoke accidents and disruptions that reflect a constantly shifting reality, emphasizing the fluid and unfixed nature of the people he portrays. Léonard Bourgois Beaulieu collaborates with both French and international galleries and regularly takes part in international art fairs such as Art Basel, Paris Photo, and Kyotographie. He has also been shortlisted and nominated for numerous awards and open calls, including Picto Lab, Camera Clara, Kyotographie, and Adiaf Emergence.pages.

Kamil Bouzoubaa-Grivel

Kamil Bouzoubaa-Grivel (born in 1992) is a French-Moroccan artist who lives and works in Paris. He has participated in group exhibitions at the Pernod-Ricard Foundation, Bétonsalon - Centre de recherche (Paris), Panacée - MOCO (Montpellier), Fondation Fiminco (Romainville) and Komplot (Brussels). He has done residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts and at the Villa Belleville (Paris). His next major group exhibition will take place at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles (Paris) in September 2023.

Simon Brossard

Born in 1994 in Paris, where he lives and works, Simon Brossard has developed a visual art practice centred on ghostly figures and mythological narratives. Through casting and paper, he explores imprints, memory and invisible presences. Drawing inspiration from science fiction and pop culture icons, his work creates a dialogue between ancient and contemporary imaginations within a fragile, spectral and narrative aesthetic.

Zoé Brunet Jailly

Zoé Brunet-Jailly (born in 1991, France) uses oil painting and computer-generated imagery, often in the manner of a portraitist, to capture the complexity of memory and algorithmic creation. Her artworks are also influenced by various atmospheres found on the internet, between popular culture and ancient myths. Her avatar, Ellie Hedden (introduced in 2014), enables her to create "Hyperdreams," reconstructed worlds populated by invented faces. Her artworks have been exhibited at the Refraction Festival during the Miami Art Week and at the Jeune Création 69 art fair.

Cécile Burban

Cécile Burban is a French artist photographer. Guided by an intuitive approach, her work is a poetic investigation of physical and psychological landscapes.
She seeks to depict the imperceptible in the links we weave with our environment, and questions the variations there: mutation and renewal, mixing intimate experience with collective narrative.

Io Burgard

A graduate of the HEAR and the Beaux Arts de Paris, Io Burgard draws form from drawing, embodies the idea in sculpture. Io Burgard's work has been seen at Mo.Co (curator Vincent Honoré), at the FRAC Ile-de-France, at the CAC Chanot (curator Roven), at the Galleria Continua (curator Nicolas Bourriaud), at the Palais de Tokyo (curator Gael Charbeau), and abroad in Japan (Forum Hermès), in Seoul (Maison Hermès) and in Germany (She BAM). Monographic exhibitions have been offered to her, notably at the MRAC Serignan by Sandra Patron, at the Capucins in Embrun by Solenn Morel, at the CAC in Ugine by Stephane Sauzede, and in the galleries Maïa Muller (Paris) and SheBam (Leipzig). She will soon participate in the Triennale de Dunkerque under the curatorship of Anna Collin and Camille Richert. Present in the collections of FRAC PACA, CNAP, MRAC Sérignan, Fonds de dotation Hermès.

Garance Butler-Oliva

Garance Butler-Oliva is interested in slowness, proposing forms whose experience unfolds in opposition to contemporary temporal acceleration. In a society saturated by a constant visual flow, she seeks to produce a slow image that reveals itself only through the viewer’s dedication. Her research notably explores Hasbara — the communication strategy of the Israeli state. Coming from a Franco-Israeli Jewish family, she attempts to express a decolonial Jewish voice.

Valentina Canseco

Valentina Canseco (1985) is of Brazilian and Chilean origin, and holds degrees in plastic arts from various institutions in France, Belgium and Colombia. She explores a singular relationship to the landscape through light, color and scale variations and composes metonymies as prisms of the visible, capable of recreating sensitive impressions of the outside world. In her work in volumes, she questions our relationship to architecture and to the living. In painting, her pictures, punctuated by the musicality she perceives in the colors, create scores of the invisible.

Loucia Carlier

Loucia Carlier (born in 1992) is a French artist based in Paris. Working between sculpture and painting, she creates object-paintings and micro-architectures in which body fragments, artificial caves, domestic interiors, and lighting devices are interwoven. Through miniaturization, she condenses fictional worlds where social norms, power relations, and intimate imaginaries are replayed. Her works transform the ordinary into unstable landscapes, oscillating between reverie, alienation, and projection. Since 2018, she has co-directed the independent journal Klima and was a recipient of the Révélation Émerige award.

Hector Castells-Matutano

Hector Castells Matutano's work is built on a kind of visual ecology based on the collection of images he produces or finds. He works with these images to produce the beginnings of narratives and visual experiences, changing them through collage, text, installation and colorization. He thus seeks to combine, without corrupting them, the issues of abstraction (lines, colors, shapes and lights) and the documentary type image (archives, found images, photographic diary). This research is for him the means to question the otherness, to think the articulation of the difference. It allows him to reconsider the question of the collective and the relationship to the other, within real or perceptive spaces.

Elliott Causse

Elliott Causse (born in 1992 in Paris) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2017. He works on the theme of the city, exploring all its different forms of networks, cartographies and transportation flows (plumbing, electricity, public transportation).
As a video artist, he creates immersive installations and frescoes in situ, as well as experimental short films inspired by the urban environment.

Alex Cecchetti

Alex Cecchetti’s work unfolds at the intersection of poetry, performance, visual arts, and ecological practices. His work takes the form of sensory and immersive installations. Natural dyeing, poetry, music, films, and incantations create spaces of passage and transformation in which the bodies and attention of the audience become an integral part of a living ecosystem. Cecchetti’s works are often created in collaboration with other forms of intelligence, such as forests or oceans, and unfold beyond traditional exhibition spaces, such as in gardens, seascapes, or immersive contexts. The philosopher Emanuele Coccia has described his work as an “aesthetic and ecological revolution,” in which each species becomes an artist and each ecosystem a living Kunsthalle. Nourished by research into vernacular knowledge, botany, and mythologies, his practice explores the relationships between humans and nonhumans, as well as the links between ecology, desire, spirituality, and forms of community. Cecchetti’s work invites the audience to experience the vertigo of unity with other forms of life and intelligence as a transformative experience, while also insisting on its urgency: imagining ourselves as separate from other species and ecosystems is not an abstraction, but a condition that produces real ecological and political crises. His work has notably been presented at the Centre Pompidou, the Serpentine Galleries, MAXXI Rome, and IMMA Dublin.

Angélique De Chabot

Born in 1988, a graduate of ESARM, Angélique de Chabot assembles organic materials and integrates ceramics into her work. Her themes are animals and the sacred. In 2018, her exhibition Surgissant du Nadir at Malromé Castle, features a monumental goddess beast. Recently, his giant and mystical masks feed his bestiary for his project Meute, in procession in the public space for the Aix-en-Provence Biennial, during Art-O-rama in Marseille and in resonance with the Lyon Biennale.

Taisiia Cherkasova

The work of Taisiia Cherkasova (born in 1991 in Dnipro, Ukraine) is mainly in the form of paintings, bringing together oil, pastel and acrylic ink. More and more, the frames are disappearing for sculptural formats which increase the pigments on new dimensions. The subjects she evokes come from both her personal experience and her fascination for the forms of duality present in human beings. Metamorphosis, a major theme for her, allows her to construct strange characters and scenes which bring us back to our own human condition with finesse.

Pia Chevalier

Artist and designer, graduated from the Boulle school in 2017, Pia Chevalier leaves room for total spontaneity in her creative process and the composition of her pieces. Her love for raw materials encourages her to constantly transform them in order to create unique pieces. Focused on everyday objects, her obsession is to give solemnity to these objects in order to make them endearing. She thus gives birth to disproportionate, funny sculptures, often inspired by the culinary universe.

Boris Chouvellon

Boris Chouvellon (born in 1980 in Saint-Étienne) graduated from Villa Arson in Nice, and later from the École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille. He explores urban space and its periphery. His work questions modernity by carrying out poetic constructive experimentations in the traces of its ruins.
