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.
Lucile Boiron
Lucie Boiron (born in 1990) is a photographer. She graduated from the ENS Louis-Lumière.
Operating as a colorist, she sculpts flesh and angles, questions the biological truth of bodies, sometimes fascinated by sensuality and filthiness. To us who don’t see it anymore, the body recalls its true condition, a territory that carries shared but unique states, a vehicle for traces of stories that only skins who have suffered can understand.
Bea Bonafini
Bea Bonafini (born in 1990 in Bonn) works with painting, textile, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2014 and from the Royal College of Art in 2016. Her work revolves around the coexistence of incongruous ideas and forms, spanning ancient and modern art history, fluid identities, religion, and material craftsmanship. She places the observer at the epicenter of the work, questioning the tangibility and the intimacy of a work and its ability to formulate new mythologies and material possibilities.
Bianca Bondi
Bianca Bondi (born in 1986 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a multidisciplinary artist. Her practice involves the activation of objects and often develops in connection with the site in which she intervenes. The materials she works with are chosen for their potential for transformation or their intrinsic properties.
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.
Bonjour garçon studio
Founded by Romain Fritiau in 2017 in Paris, the studio engages in artistic direction, publishing, branding and photography projects, operating primarily in the fields of art, design and fashion. With great sensitivity and a clear and minimalist vision, the studio allows its clients to fit into a sharp contemporary landscape with accuracy and relevance.
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.
Lisa Boostani
Lisa Boostani (born in 1989 in Toulouse) is a Hispanic-Iranian artist settled between Paris and Barcelona. She works as a director and photographer in the fields of art, fashion, documentary, and music. As a performer, she explores bodily dynamics and psycho-physical language, experiencing her own body as a base material, living and mutable at the same time.
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.
Arnaud Bottini
Arnaud Bottini (born in 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between human beings and the spaces they occupy, and the complexity of the interactions this generates. He highlights the links between politics and territory, seeking to make visible various forms of violence. Through regular use of misappropriation and satire, his work questions the way in which we perceive places and how they are presented to us. His work draws as much on analysis of maps and satellite photographs as on fieldwork and discussions with local residents.
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.
Guillaume Bouisset
Guillaume Bouisset (born in 1990 in Madrid) starts from the premise that “representing is making visible the ontological structure of reality” (P. Descola), Guillaume Bouisset’s work shows a will to grasp the ties that distinguish the interaction between personal identity and external environment. “What is the self made of?”, “How is the individual connected — if he is at all — to the afterlife and to the universe that he perceives?”… To these reflections, the artist responds with visual hypotheses which question both metaphysical concepts themselves and the human propensity for a certain aesthetic of mystery.
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.
Flora Bouteille
Flora Bouteille (née en 1993) est diplômée de l’École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon en 2018. Elle utilise les médiums de la sculpture, de l’écriture et de la vidéo pour réunir artistes et public dans des situations performatives impliquant le consentement à être une partie de l’oeuvre comme condition de son déroulement. Cette approche vise à contrarier notre capacité à reconnaître une oeuvre lorsque nous y pénétrons, et nous invite à l’action ou à la réflexion.
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.
Cloé Brochard
Cloé Brochard (born in 1995 in Clermont-Ferrand) is inspired by control dispositives, observation systems, and military tools: she tries to question the impact that this types of media
can have on our perception of reality. She casts a critical eye on the omnipresence of surveillance tools in our personal life by questioning the complex relationship between intimacy and sociability. She questions the increasing harshness of our societies and seeks to promote expressions of freedom.
Apollinaria Broche
Apollinaria Broche (born in 1995 in Moscow) studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. For several years, the artist has been questioning the nature of concrete mental spaces, which she
believes host our imagination. She creates her own mental spaces, constructed from collected objects, whose real appearance is mixed with supernatural elements from our imagination and mythology.
Aviva Brooks
Aviva Brooks (born in 1965), inspired by the contrast between American and French culture, explores interstices and intervals. She digs into this “tension”, this mobile space which separates – and unites – the visual and the written word, action and thought, the energy of immediacy and the elegance of distance, the present and the past, childhood and adulthood, the USA’s black and white thinking and old Europe’s shades of grey. On the way, she inventories the artifacts of the passage of time, documenting this border that marks the moment an era enters the past: phone booths, public benches, Volkswagen buses, neon signs…
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.
Anna Broujean
Anna Broujean (born in 1987 in Paris) graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in 2015 and founded the Club Sandwich magazine the same year. As a photographer, visual artist, and publisher, she offers humorous reinterpretations and transformations in her various works, combining photographs, texts, archive images, and installations.
Raphaël Brunel
Raphaël Brunel is an art critic, curator and independent editor. His texts are published as essays, interviews or portraits in the art press, exhibition catalogs and monographic works. He co-founded VOLUME, a contemporary art journal on sound, as well as the editorial and curatorial platform What You See Is What You Hear. He recently (co)curated Des voix traversées (Institut d'art contemporain, Villeurbanne, 2022), S/O/M/A (Jeu de Paume Lab, 2021), Persona Everyware (Centre d'art Le Lait, Albi, 2020), Pulpe * Mimosa Echard & Shanta Rao (Galerie Edouard Manet, Gennevilliers, 2019), and Métamorphose et contamination : la permanence du changement (Laboratoire Espace Cerveau, Institut d'art contemporain, Villeurbanne, 2019).
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.
Flóra Anna Buda
Flora Anna Buda (born in 1991, Budapest), graduated as an animation film director from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest. She is raised in an artistic environment. After her studies in fashion, her love for drawing and interest in storytelling led her to animation. Her MOME graduation film called ‘Entopia’ was premiered at the 69th Berlinale, won the 33th Teddy Award. She became an intern at MIYU Productions where later she made her first professional film - in co-production with Boddah - called ‘27’ . The film had its premier at Festival de Cannes where it won the Palme D’or for short films and after the Crystal du Court Métrage at Annecy Festival. Currently she is developing new projects. One of her main goals is to keep searching for new ways of creating diverse universes, telling honest stories and finding a way to create an artistic project out of her recent interest, with an open mind.
