In her work, Masha explores the representation of male and female bodies in art history. In her pseudo-paradise world, she changes the conventional perception of the male gaze towards the reified body, using classical references from art history in her compositions.
Ji-Min Park
Ji-Min Park (born in 1988 in Seoul) lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, her work has always been
multidisciplinary. She navigates fluidly between different worlds, different states, and different practices. This is how she regularly collaborates with performers or even filmmakers. In 2021 she participated in the film Return to Seoul by Davy Chou as the main actress, a film selected for the Cannes Film Festival 2022.
Juliette Peres
Juliette Peres (born in 1997 in Asnières) graduated from the Beaux-Arts in Paris in 2023. Her practice focuses on exploring our ways of relating to the world, to the natural and cultural bonds we have with other species: goats, dogs, daisies... Based on dialogues with specialists (botanists, archivists, illusionists, etc.), she creates and shares texts, tools, and performances that reveal our conscious and unconscious ways of coexisting.
Anne-Laure Peressin
Born in 1991, Anne-Laure Peressin is an art critic and curator. With a degree in law and art history, she was an active member of the Young Art Critics Collective (YACI) from its creation to 2020, editor in chief in the art press for 4 years and author in art popularization for the 8-12 at Fleurus editions. She regularly collaborates in the writing of exhibition catalogs and conducts interviews with artists, notably for the Editions des Beaux-arts de Paris. Since 2021, she has been working on a cultural rehabilitation project for the Château de Saumane, known as the Château du Marquis de Sade, to become a future cultural center for contemporary art and literature. In 2023, she co-founded the collective La Force des Choses with Salma Cheddadi and Frédérique Sarkozy around the notions of circularity in contemporary creation, to question the value of human labor spent in the mechanisms of fabrication, monstration, mediatization, circulation or exchange in an ecosystem strongly impacted by our behaviors and our modes of consumption. His research is essentially focused on three axes: the mediation of contemporary art with young people; a reflexion on the object-work to better understand its components and deployments; and a reflexive approach of the devices and the place of the exhibition - conditional thought of the apprehension of contemporary art -.
Raphaëlle Peria
Raphaëlle Peria (born in 1989 in Amiens) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris. In her work, she questions the duality of Man and Nature, scratching the photographs that she takes during her travels all over the world to distort them. Since 2016, she has been represented by Galerie Papillon.
Simon Petit Fort
Simon Petit Fort (b. Paris, 1991) graduated from the Sorbonne, Villa Arson and Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2024. His practice combines installation, sculpture, image and text. His work focuses on an osmotic relationship between the body and its environment. Shapes, colors, lights and textures help to blur the boundaries between body and object, body and space, and to imagine how new regimes of corporeal and sensitive existence might be translated. His work has been shown at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris, the Crous Gallery and the Strouk Gallery, and was published in the latest issue of NNFICTION 06.
Margot Pietri
Margot Pietri (born in 1990) explores the relationships and affects that humans have with technology. She produces science fiction narratives in which the modalities of our relationships - to objects, to the machine, to others, to the environment and to images - are renegotiated. She imagines new ways of living in a society without hierarchy, where the rhythms of life and work are not based on a presupposed utilitarianism. From these narratives are born sculptures and paintings with altered functionalities that evoke artificial landscapes. She is preparing her next soloshow at the Serre in Saint-Etienne.
Lucile Piketty
Lucile Piketty (born 1990 in Paris) is a French artist who graduated in printmaking from the École Estienne. She then studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris where she obtained a one-year exchange scholarship to Parsons School in New York before graduating from ENSAD in 2015. Lucile Piketty's work results from the observation of her surroundings, from a work of memory and interpretation. From the engraved, cut out and printed wooden board to canvas and paper, she uses various mediums in search of a plastic and sensitive dimension. Time, waiting, and the cycles of life are themes that recur periodically in her work, while references to the history of art, popular art, and comics are mixed with memories of daily life, and feed her different research.
Emilie Pitoiset
Émilie Pitoiset (born in 1980, lives and works in Paris) explores, through installations, sculptures, videos, and choreographies, tragi-comic scenarios shaped by our collective fantasies and the desires that structure our social lives.
Her work has been widely exhibited in institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Centre National de la Danse, the Palais de Tokyo, Bozar in Brussels, Tai Kwun Contemporary in Hong Kong, the Museo Marino Marini in Florence, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, among others.

Olivain Porry
Olivain Porry is an artist and PhD (SACRe) from the EnsadLab laboratory of the École des Arts Décoratifs. He creates collectives of objects: installations inhabited by chatty toasters, twisting fans, or unstable monochromes. Through cybernetic détournements, he explores the relationships between humans, machines, and living beings. Represented by Avant-Galerie Vossen, he co-founded the Éditions du respirateur in 2024, dedicated to experimental artistic publishing.
Valentine Prissette
Valentine Prissette is a visual artist born in 1998, who graduated from the Fine Arts in Cergy in 2022. Her work revolves around installations combining textiles, wood and wax. At she creates fragments of interiors, uninhabited scenes of a uninhabited scenes of a theatre at a standstill. For Sleeping Pantings (solo show) she uses familiar forms to evoke the ambiguous tales
equivocal tales recited before going to sleep. Her latest series blurs notions of scale; inside the models, embroidered drawings become new protagonists.
Victor Pueyo
Victor Pueyo (born in Paris in 1989) painter, trained in architetcture. Starting from what exists, from reality, or history of arts references, his work explores a series of tensions. Firstly, the tension of a fragile material – he paints with oil paint on cigarette paper – questioning the vulnerability of our representations. As the light touches the surface, it exposes the material, the gesture, and the image that has been painted. A tension is also created by what is hidden behind the appearance and tthee first sheeets, which we can feel but remains veiled. Through the fragment he tries to capture what surrounds him: sometimes a hand, a body, a vase, a horizon, a still life. His work has been exhibited in France and abroad.

Andrey Blokhin
Recycle Group was founded in 2008 by Andrey Blokhin and Georgii Kuznetsov.
Andrey Blokhin (born in 1987 in Krasnodar, Russia). He graduated from the highschool of the Krasnodar Academy of Industrial Arts and later from the Krasnodar Academy of Industrial Arts itself.
Georgy Kuznetsov (born in 1985 in Stavropol, Russia) graduated from the Stavropol Art College and from the Krasnodar Academy of Industrial Arts.
Concerned about the rising level of material waste as a byproduct of widespread consumerism, their works also draw upon classical Western traditions such as narrative relief carving and Christian iconography to compare contemporary times with other histories – social media with religion, corporate leaders with kings, and online existence with mausoleums.
Luca Resta
Luca Resta was born in Seriate (Italy) in 1982 and lives and works in Paris. His research is built from objects. He explores the social and cultural space he inhabits to refine a creative process linked to the practices of accumulation, reproduction and transformation of matter. As a form of contemporary allegory, he probes the vertigo of the series through endless collections of disposable objects, highlighting the compulsions, obsessive repetitions and accumulations that testify to our society's typical "visual claustrophobia". His works challenge the notion of repetition. Through a continuous exercise of re-education to the obvious, his works confront us with our cultural reference and articulate the very idea of sculpture in relation to that of common form, transforming our daily lives into the experience of the almost invisible.
Mateo Revillo
Mateo Revillo (born 1993 in Madrid, Spain) graduated in Fine Arts from the Ruskin School of Oxford University, then studied at the EHESS. At the junction between painting, sculpture and architecture, his work is carried from a primary dedication to the modernization of mural techniques. He develops a pictorial, material and intellectual research around the painting as an object of memory, to the notion of landscape as absence of the human.
Dimitri Robert Rimsky
Dimitri Robert-Rimsky (born in 1986 in Paris) is a visual artist and video maker. He studied at the Institut supérieur des arts de Toulouse and at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Brunswick in Germany, in the studio of Candice Breitz. He co-founded Rotolux sutdio in 2015. His work addresses issues that are intimately linked to political fictions, to the narratives that have been used to implement urban or architectural utopias, to forms of domestication of nature or to environmental transformations.
Madeleine Roger-Lacan
Madeleine Roger-Lacan (born in 1993 in Paris) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Her pictorial research is figurative and plays with the materiality of the "painting" object by borrowing from the abstract and sculptural vocabulary of modern and contemporary painting. Narrative, fantasy and the imaginary, on a background of popular culture, are the framework of the poetic universe she constructs.
Apolline Régent
Apolline Regent lives and works in Paris. Born in 2001, she graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris and Goldsmiths, University of London. Her practice is grounded in assemblage, accident, and a openness to reality, driven by a constant creative energy. Navigating between humor and tenderness, she develops experimental spaces that blend invented narratives with lived experiences. Deployed through installation, painting, drawing, and sculpture, her work gently mocks our overly serious relationship with language, authority, and the conventional affects we project onto them.

Anna Saint Pierre
Anna Saint Pierre works on the memory of places through the collection and reuse of demolition materials. A textile designer who graduated from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Décoratifs in 2016, she has been a doctor since 2022 in Sciences Arts Creation Research with a thesis entitled "Textilising the built memory". Between 2018 and 2021, her research was supported by the ANRT to be integrated into SCAU architecture, and was the subject of a residency at the Sèvres - Manufacture et Musée nationaux laboratory. In 2022, she was the winner of the Grand Prix de la création de la ville de Paris in emerging design, and produced two works of 1% artistic.
Sofia Salazar Rosales

She completed the prestigious two-year residency program at De Ateliers in Amsterdam in 2025, following a Master’s degree with distinction from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (ENSBA), where she studied under Tatiana Trouvé, Petrit Halilaj, and Álvaro Urbano. She also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.
Antoine Semoun
Andy Santori, also known as Antoine Semoun, is a self-taught painter. His visual language is characterized by a vibrant, vivid color palette, brushstrokes, paint spills directly onto the canvas, and scratches resulting from rapid and vigorous gestures. He uses matière (substance/materiality) to make his paintings "alive"; thickness, layering, and frequent, sometimes impulsive, overpainting echo the multiple strata of the artist's references. Legendary figures populate his inner world. He demonstrates a keen awareness of fatalism, which can be seen in his fascination with artists who met tragic ends. The obsessive theme of the inevitable passage of time is omnipresent. One senses in his work the artist's urgency to create, to deliver his message, and to pursue his artistic dream to the fullest, despite life's trials. -Jennifer Flay
Edgar Sarin
Edgar Sarin (b. 1989, Marseilles) has been noticed for his questioning of the exhibition space and his search for a primordial gesture. This makes him one of the most singular artists of his generation. His two preferred media, painting and sculpture, tend to unite in the exhibition space to become an “architectural experience”.
In 2023, two of the artist's works join the collections of the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d'Art Moderne. In 2024, Edgar Sarin inaugurates his first permanent public commission, a monumental bronze in the city of Le Havre. He was awarded the Académie des Beaux-Arts - Institut de France - Pierre Cardin prize for sculpture in 2024. He is the founder of La Méditerannée, a research group on the question of exhibitions.
Ugo Schildge
Ugo Schildge (born in 1987 in Paris) graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2014. He developed a reflection on the articulation between image and movement and became interested in the cogwheel, a symbol of the industrial revolution, which emphasizes the power of mechanics. The material is also a central element of his work: for his color sets, the artist combines natural pigments, clay and plaster. In this combination, the interaction is always uncertain and surprising.
