Brazilian artists Leda Catunda and Erika Verzutti are in the spotlight this fall in Paris with two solo exhibitions.
They have already collaborated and are familiar with each other's practices. This meeting will be an opportunity to look back on their recent exhibitions and exchange their views: organic forms, references to modernism and pop art, desire and feminism will be topics of discussion.
Beaux-Arts de Paris is participating in the L'Étudiant arts education and careers fair at the Ministry of Culture stand. Come and meet us to find out all about our courses and admissions procedures: the public preparatory class with a social focus (Via Ferrata), the Beaux-Arts de Paris undergraduate degree (bachelor's level), and the national higher diploma in visual arts (DNSAP, master's level).

Winner of the 2025 Rubis Mécénat Prize in partnership with the Church of Saint-Eustache and Beaux-Arts de Paris, Liselor Perez, a fifth-year student, presents a unique installation of a set of puppets scattered throughout the main nave and side chapels. Curated by Julia Marchand.
“My installation is a poetic exploration of existential tensions: the fragile body, seeking elevation, confronted with timeless, immutable architecture.” Liselor Perez
Drawing on the inner silence and materiality of the place, which the artist frequented at length during her research phase, Liselor Perez has sketched these mysterious silhouettes, which seem to emerge from the building. By imagining a “church guardian” with a body covered in Jesmonite reminiscent of the pillar against which he leans, or a puppet-like being balancing in one of the chapels, becoming the receptacle for a stained-glass face, the artist sculpts a point of connection between the work and its environment, absorbing the motifs that surround it to cover it with adornment.
Between poetry and science fiction, the works offer a sensory experience, an invitation to daydream where the puppet is no longer a simple toy, but the medium for an embodied questioning of the meaning of being and the other.
Since 2021, the Rubis Mécénat Prize, in partnership with the Beaux-Arts de Paris, has enabled a student from the school to receive production assistance and critical support for the creation of a new work at the Saint-Eustache church in Paris.

We must defend society (against images)
Images surround us, dominate us, haunt us. Some impose themselves by striking our minds, while others, more insidious, creep in and surprise us in our imaginations. Should we now learn to defend ourselves against them, because they are too aggressive or too seductive?

To mark the publication of Thomas Hirschhorn: From Graphic Design to Art (MIT Press, 2025), American art historian Lisa Lee talks to the artist about the origins of his work.
"Lisa Lee captured the true nature of my Parisian experience after my arrival in 1983. Determined to pursue graphic design, but confronted with the challenges of time, the world, and reality, I realized that I had to reverse my thinking: art became the mission to accomplish, far beyond graphic design.
Sonia Steinsapir (1912-1980), born in Russia during the Tsarist era, lived in Crimea, Berlin, and Moscow before emigrating to Paris in 1936. She became a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and set her sights on a career as an artist. A victim of anti-Semitism during the Occupation, she was deported to the camps at Mérignac and Poitiers, where she met internees known as Nomads, Manouches, Gypsies, Roma, and Travellers, and produced one of the rare graphic accounts of anti-Gypsy persecution in France during the Second World War.
This book is the first monograph devoted to the artist duo The Bells Angels, consisting of Julien Sirjacq and Simon Bernheim.
Photos, paintings, engravings, but also magazine design and graphic design for major institutions—the monograph presents all of their work, particularly powerful creations that are part of a post-punk musical and artistic culture.
