Paul Rousteau
Né en France en 1985, Paul Rousteau explore les limites de la photographie et de nos perceptions. Son art, fait d’illusions optiques, navigue entre art digital et matières picturales. Aux frontières de l’abstraction et de l’art sacré, ses images aux couleurs radieuses révèlent la quête profonde de l’artiste « sublimer le visible pour dévoiler l’invisible ». Du portrait au paysage, ses visuels hallucinatoires et contemplatifs sont demandés par les plus grands magazines, marques et musées (New York Times, Hermès, M Le Monde, Louis Vuitton, Mucem, Vogue, le Louvre).

Olga Sabko
Olga Sabko (born in 1990 in Kiev, Ukraine) graduated in graphic arts at the Technical University of Ukraine and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Experimentation, spontaneity and listening to the material are at the heart of her artistic practice. She is inspired by the evolution and decomposition in nature, the movement of time that makes all kinds of things expire and degrade. Her organic sculptures are always created spontaneously by hand and embody the experience of life in the moment beyond the visible.
Alexandre Samson

Eden Sarna
Eden Sarna (born in 1988 in Jerusalem) graduated from the Department of Fine Arts of the Bezalel Academy of Art (Jerusalem) and from the New Genres Department of the SFAI (San Francisco Art Institute). Through his video installations, he addresses subjects such as ethics, violence, humour and “the observing eye”. His research and experiments focus on the relation between subtlety and acuity of oppressed feelings, while adopting a light-hearted approach.
Thibault Scemama de Gialluly
Thibault Scemama de Gialluly (born in 1987) writes an intimate counter-diary of the " potemkin " world in which we would be plunged, stuck between scratch games, postcards or negotiation seating plans wich he accelerates their " prophe-politic " speeche. Thibault realizes "official drafts", silk-screen paintings, drawings, collages that emerge redacted, moiré, scratched ... failed photocopies of our "diplomatic fictions" In the manner of a malfunctioning photocopier from which he removes copies stuck in between the cylinder.
Élodie Seguin
Élodie Seguin (born in 1984 in Paris) studied at the Villa Arson and at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Her practice involves painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation. Among her first statements, that of considering that “not everything can be shown everywhere” since the place appears at the same time as the piece it presents, the question of limits is posed, the one between the pieces, but also those of the common borders between the media and their possibility of prolonging each other.
Laura Sellies
Laura Sellies (born in 1991 in Grenoble) is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Lyon and of the master's degree in Literary Creation at the University of Paris 8. She defines her practice as collaborative - for her, art is a collective process, which is reflected and implemented by several people. Installative - she installs sculptures, people, images, sounds in space and time. Dramaturgical - these installations tell stories without saying them. Since 2010, she has been half of a duo with Amélie Giacomini.
Erwan Sene
Erwan Sene (Born in 1991, Paris) is an artist and a musician based in Paris. His work is based on a sculptural work that unfolds on several levels. Letting himself go on the slope of an imaginary everyday life as well as enigmatic stories, his practice reconsiders his own way of living and digesting the objects that surround him. He creates stagings with a multitude of materials, between baroque remanence and everyday surrealism, and addresses the themes of contamination, idiopathy and science fiction.
Marie Serruya
Marie Serruya (born in 1991 in Les Lilas) is a visual artist who represents human comedy through different artistic expressions. She began her professional career as an actress at the age of 17. Inspired by theater, masks and faces, her portraits modelled in various materials are the guiding thread of her work. Her approach is marked by her need to put the public in action through her works.

Marie Servas
Graduated in 2017 (ESAD Reims), Marie Servas researches environments and objects created by man and modified by nature. She calls for a « poetry of destruction » in her installations and sculptures, using shifting processes such as dyeing, waxing or oxidation. At the same time, she is developing an educational project: Camille et les autres... (Camille and the others...), which introduces students to the visual arts through the work of invisibilized women artists. She is also co-founder of FLOP, a game of exchange between artists as a pretext for exhibitions.
Chloé Silbano

Alexandre Silberstein
Alexandre Silberstein (born in 1989 in Paris) creates performances where sculpture, music, and narration are mixed. His works, made of recycled paper and representing modular, nomadic, and compact forms, question our relationship to space. He stages plays in the middle of nature. For certain projects, he has fun creating games of chance, giving the spectators the role of actor.
Masha Silchenko
A graduate of the Dominique Figarella’s studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Masha Silchenko previously studied at the Odessa Art College (Ukraine) and at Geidai – Tokyo University of the Arts, where she learned traditional ceramic techniques. Her work crosses and contrasts drawing, sculpture, and painting on canvas. Myths, beliefs, dreams, and nightmares are tamed by a sensitive and narrative interpretation.
Eric Stephany
Eric Stephany (1970, France), based between Paris and Athens, develops a practice combining sculpture, installation, photography, and performance. Drawing from sites with ambiguous functions, he collects materials and images that he transforms into fragments, questioning the fragility of our shelters and the ways we inhabit the world. At the intersection of architecture and psychology, he proposes a disruptive approach to sculpture. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris-La Villette and the École nationale supérieure d’art de Cergy, he has exhibited in France and internationally, notably at the Centre Georges Pompidou.
Ann Stouvenel
Ann Stouvenel is the artistic director of exhibition spaces and artists-authors’ residencies. She is also an independent curator and is attached to institutions. She focuses her energy on creating times of mobility and experimentation. She is also the cofounder and president of Arts en résidence.
Laetitia Striffling-Marcu
Laëtitia Striffling-Marcu studied photography and video at Aalto University in Helsinki and at ENSAD-Paris. Her latest photographic project deals with belief and its materiality. She photographs places and objects of worship, established as material evidence of a personal and invisible feeling. By choosing the deep shadow or the too bright glare in which the objects are immersed, then cropping the image, enlarging it or letting its grain and pixelation appear, she seeks to disturb the outline of the object and the lines of perspective that allow its understanding. The reading of the photographs is thus left to the interpretation of the viewer and to what he or she believes to see in them.
Mathilde Supe
Mathilde Supe (born in 1989 in Paris) studied art history before working on film sets, then entered the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy. Then she embarked on research at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, under the supervision of historian André Gunthert. She creates narratives through films, video installations, books, and editions and questions the phenomena of interpretation and representation by mixing fiction and sociology.

Pol Taburet
Pol Taburet’s work is a heady and iconoclastic mix of references that range from the artist’s own Caribbean background, the region’s synchretic voodoo traditions and belief systems, wider contemporary culture, as well as classical painting. Born in 1997, the artist has rapidly gained attention with his idiosyncratic painterly style, which he has developed by incorporating the use of airbrushing alongside traditional brush painting with acrylic colors. The formal result is a unique contraposition of textures and finishings, of painstaking detail, “impressionistic” suggestion and symbolism.
Vincent Tanguy
Vincent Tanguy ( born in 1990 in Rennes) develops a protean practice in which the digital "flood", the effects of globalization and the symbiosis between physical reality and virtual interfaces are transformed by his singular poetry and humor. He has notably created The Convenient Life (2019), a performance realized in Shanghai, China, where, by pushing to the extreme the possible use of the smartphone and digital platforms, he anticipates in his own way the situation of generalized confinement that was ours.
Abi Tariq
Abi Tariq (born in 1990 in Karachi, Pakistan) received a Master of Fine Arts from Transart Institute (Berlin/NY) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Paris College of Art. His practice aims to critically expose or subtly displace hierarchical structures through the prism of "performance art" and using his "absurd-mystical" methodology. Inspired by the complex entanglements between language, culture and power, he questions behavioral culture.
Lise Terdjman
Lise Terdjman is a multi-disciplinary artist-researcher who creates forms in dialogue with archives, producing fictions that draw on art history, the social sciences and the living world. Her drawing is porous with other disciplines, and she uses it as a critical tool. Her work questions cultural and social hybridization. She observes how ecological issues were already present for Renaissance artists.
She completed a double degree at the Beaux-arts and Arts Décoratifs de Paris.
She takes part in exhibitions and residencies in France and abroad in institutions such as Zone Sensible, Saint-Denis, 2024; Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, 2021; Galerie Specta, Copenhagen, 2021; YIA Art Fair, Paris, 2016; Musée du Louvre, Paris, 2005.
