Louis Lanne
Louis Lanne is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Paris. Inspired by comic strips, Louis uses the magnetic whiteboard as a support for his creations. He superimposes paint, resin, felt and tar to form microcosms saturated with colour and detail. His compositions, dense and abundant, evoke stories in filigree, mixing adult and child realities with an identifiable and playful visual vocabulary.
Ludivine Large-Bessette
Working at the intersection of video, photography, and contemporary dance, Ludivine Large-Bessette uses the body as both subject and motif to capture our desires for power and our limits (artificial, physical, and normative). Historical and popular imagery, which often inspires her work, supports the construction of contemporary allegories that challenge the viewer’s position and our relationship to progress and power strategies.
Amalia Laurent
The obsession of Amalia Laurent (born in 1992 in France to a Javanese mother and a Languedoc father) with alternative realities has given rise to a body of work - installations, performances, sculptures, dyeings - that makes tangible the boundaries between real and parallel worlds. In 2023, she obtained a second Master's degree at EHESS - Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales - and continued her thesis there. She was awarded the Mondes Nouveaux scholarship in 2023 and is currently a resident at the Villa Médicis (2024/2025).
Victoria Le Boloc'h-Salama
Victoria Le Boloc’h-Salama is an independent art critic, cultural programmer, and podcast producer and director.
Trained as an art historian and a member of AICA, she supports artists in the development of their projects. A founding member of the collective Jeunes Critiques d’Art and co-founder of Le Bruit de l’Art, she regularly writes for media outlets, galleries, and institutions. She also curates and moderates talks, and occasionally serves as a jury member within the contemporary art network in France.
Anna Le Corno
After a first career in architecture, Anna Le Corno (born in 1987 in Vanves) learnt cabinetmaking at the École Boulle. Creating a dialogue between tradition and the digital world and questioning abstraction, action and time, her graphic and colorimetric research is expressed through marquetry frescoes and unique pieces of furniture with an animal and poetic language.
Tommy Lecot
Tommy Lecot was born in Paris in 1992.
Drawing on existing entities, he assembles a variety of materials in order to achieve a formal concordance, an obviousness.
His many references to the history of art reflect a desire to understand the past in order to place it in tension with its present environment.
Through a variety of plastic approaches, his approach reveals his doubts, not so much out of humility as out of a desire to reveal himself to the viewer.
Thomas Lelouch
Thomas Lelouch is an artist and designer who graduated from the Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 2015 with a degree in animation film. His practice in stop-motion volume gradually led him towards sculpture and spatial design. Trained in various artistic crafts, notably plasterwork (staff) and bronze, he went on to co-found the creative studio Atelier Craft in 2015.
In 2023, he resumed his sculpting practice, focusing on a "collectible design" approach, blurring the lines between art and design. Since then, he has collaborated with artist Clémence Mars, with whom he created the White Noise collection of sculptural furniture, exhibited at Maison & Objet In the City 2025 and the Paris Design Week 2024 and 2025 editions.
Anouck Lemarquis
Anouck Lemarquis (born in 1982 in Nîmes) obtained a degree in architecture (ENSAG / McGill University / Montreal) and a post-master’s research diploma in Philosophy and Architecture (ENSAPLV). She develops her work between artistic practice and theoretical research around the status of the image as a critical experience of geographical and fictional/
Anaïs Leroy
Anaïs Leroy (born in 1985 in Nantes) develops a practice of performance based on sculpture and aims to work with the space of the stage, flirting with the performing arts. She creates figures, often in the middle of a robinsonade, who find the means of their moral and intellectual survival in the territories sculpted by the artist.
Mathilde Lestiboudois
Mathilde Lestiboudois, born in 1992, graduated from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris (2017). She also studied at the Universitäte der Kunste, Berlin, in 2016 and was a resident at Casa Velasquez in 2021-2022. Through the medium of painting, Mathilde Lestiboudois represents empty interior spaces. Intermingling architectural fragments and geometric forms, she questions space and its temporal dimension.
Anne Le Troter
Anne Le Troter (1985) is an artist based in Paris who combines sound installation, performance, theater, literature and poetry.
After writing two books, "L'encyclopédie de la matière" and "Claire, Anne, Laurence", she began to work on the place of speech at work. Thus Anne Le Troter invites groups of people such as ASMR artists and telephone interviewers to record with her ("L'appétence", sound piece, 2016 Prize of the Salon de Montrouge and the Palais de Tokyo, "Les mitoyennes" La BF15, 2015, "Liste à puces" Palais de Tokyo, 2017 and "Les silences après une question" at the Institut d'Art Contemporain de Villeurbanne, 2017). Invited by the Pernod Ricard Foundation, the Rennes Biennial, the contemporary art center Le Grand Café in Saint Nazaire, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas and the Centre Pompidou, the artist then engages other writing cycles around the notion of biography, fiction and utopia around the question of our modes of reproduction. In 2021 she was awarded the Bétonsalon and ADAGP grants (Les Volontaires, pigments-médicaments, Bétonsalon, center d'art et de recherche, 2022), Mondes Nouveaux as well as the Kujoyama villa.
Augustin Lignier
Augustin Lignier (born in 1995), a graduate of ECAL and the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, explores the performative dimension of photography, from its production to its reception. At the intersection of scientific experimentation and absurd gestures, his work questions the mechanisms of image-making and the impact of digital technology on our modes of perception. His practice unfolds across performance, installation, and conceptual photography.
Renske Linders
Renske Linders (born in 1995 in The Hague, Netherlands) has been residing in Paris since 2022, after obtaining her degree in Art & Culture from Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2021. Through her oil paintings, the artist captures intimate and flourishing moments, evoking love, rebirth, and exploration, all while consistently celebrating the feminine form. Through compositions imbued with softness and mystery, Renske's work conveys a message of hope and emancipation.
Local Technique
The Local Technique collective, located within the POUSH community in Aubervilliers (Sucre building), is a space for exchange and experimentation that brings together curators and art workers. Operating at the intersection of practices such as writing, criticism, research, scenography, and curating, it is conceived as a textual laboratory and a visual platform driven by encounters, dialogue, and exploration.
While Local Technique functions primarily as an office dedicated to the analysis of contemporary cultural practices, the space also operates as a project space, hosting specific programming that includes screenings, performances, exhibitions, readings, discussions, and editorial research.
Members: Alice Loumeau, Anna Tardivel, Anne-Laure Peressin, Clara Darrason, Lou-Justin Tailhades, Mahsan Shams, Margaux Knight, Raphaël Giannesini, Valentin Bansac, Victoria Le Boloc’h-Salama
Thibault Lucas
Thibault Lucas (born in 1984 in Suresnes) creates, inter alia, installations in situ in “useless” areas on the outskirts of Paris, or in unusual places such as the belfry of the Mairie du 1er arrondissement or the Church of Saint-Merry. Stone is a central motif in his work: it allows him to create endless landscapes, or sculptures evoking archaic or sacred monuments, made out of materials that he collects in the city or in nature.
Isaac Lythgoe
Born in Guernsey 1989. Isaac Lythgoe is a sculptor and writer, he studied painting at the Royal College of Art, London (2014.) Repurposing ideas from narrative and storytelling traditions, his work is an open-ended discussion of prospective technologies and how they might influence our future societal structures. Ethics, romance and mortality serve as fluctuating, narrative arcs - vehicles to mediate a research practice, which considers the integration of synthetic and biological systems as the most prescient grounds for changes and challenges to the human experience. In practice these ideas are approached both conceptually and materially; works appear as stories, playing out in a blend of symbolic organic materials and new media techniques, the handmade and the machined in continual flux.

Denis Macrez
Born in 1992 in Besançon, Denis Macrez graduated from the École Supérieure d'Art de Rennes in 2018. He will be in residence in Reykjavik for two months in 2021, where he will present an exhibition at the SIM gallery. On his return, he exhibited in a duo show with Marguerite Piard at the Chapelle XIV gallery. More recently, the artist was invited by the Fonds de Dotation Verrecchia, for a four-month residency at the Château de la Maye in Versailles. Since then, he has been spotted by the collector's collective CulturFoundry, with whom he will exhibit in October 2022.
Beka Magyarlaki
Working across sculpture, sound, and voice, Beka Magyarlaki (born in 1992, Hungary) creates immersive installations that explore the body as a container of intimate and cultural memory, as well as a site of political and morphological transformation. Hybrid forms and layered sound pieces unfold a queer psychological landscape, weaving a poetic narrative around belonging, trans identity, and collective dreams. Since graduating in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (2017), she has exhibited in the United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Portugal, Turkey, and Hungary. Her recent works have received support from PARIS-B and the CNAP in France. Her work has also been nominated for the MullenLowe NOVA Awards and the International Takifuji Art Award.
Bastien Mairet
Bastien Mairet (Born in Tarbes, France, in 1988) combines his technical and artistic background by inking mechanical automatons, whether they be mechanical motors with clock springs, with the use of modern electronics for his pieces. He works in collaboration with other artists to set their creations in motion for store windows or exhibitions.
Demian Majcen
Demian Majcen (born in 1992 in Saint-Cloud) graduated from Villa Arson and from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris. He sees his work as a filter through which he can learn and observe the world in the present. He thus leads an open-ended quest, made up of encounters, successes and failures. He transforms artefacts into possible utopias and seeks to give beauty back its purpose, to give the world an end, so that it can begin again.
Olivera Majcen
Olivera Majcen is a Serbian-Croatian artist who grew up with artisan and weaver grandparents who gave her a taste for the intelligence of the hand. After graduating from the Belgrade Fine Arts School in 1984, she participated in several exhibitions as a painter before arriving in Paris in 1991. It is then that she devoted herself to fashion design for ten years. Since 2006, she continues her practice as a painter and set designer between Paris and Belgrade.
Sarah Makharine
Sarah Makharine is an artist and photographer whose work explores the human body as a means to question identity, gender, and social perceptions. Through her art, she seeks to deconstruct stereotypes and give voice to stories that are often overlooked.
By combining analog and digital media, she challenges established norms and reveals hidden realities. Her artistic approach focuses on issues of gender and identity, as seen in Papa (2021), where she invites her father to cross-dress, and Le Mikve, which examines the role of women in religious rituals.
Projects such as From Ramallah to the Eiffel Tower celebrate the liberation of women's bodies in conflict zones.
Through her installations, Sarah Makharine aspires to shape a more inclusive and emancipated collective imagination.
Francois Malingrey
