Jean Bedez's graphite mine drawings offer representations of the contemporary world that function as modern allegories: between political and religious power, the culture of the spectacle or the role of the citizen, they explore the relations of domination in our societies.
Pascale Marthine Tayou, born in 1966 in Nkongsamba, Cameroon, settled in Ghent, Belgium, head of the studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, is one of the greatest artists of his generation. For more than twenty-five years, he has been developing an abundant and free work, mixing crafts, national and economic symbols, organic materials, the scraps of civilization..., and has an implicitly critical and political view of the world. His prolific vocabulary, animated by a "transcultural" vision, conveys the richness, troubles and contradictions of today's society.
Niele Toroni was born in 1937 in Muralto (Ticino) on Lake Maggiore. He has lived in Paris since 1959. Toroni is a painter. His method is simple and intangible: "When I intervene as a painter, I show brush prints n°50 repeated at regular intervals of 30 cm, and it is never the same thing".
Editing Niele Toroni's "things written, published (or not)" is a paradox, because he claims to be essentially a painter, and not an artist, much less a writer.

Arts and Social Signs
Franck Scurti uses all mediums indifferently: video, sculpture, installation. His work is constituted around a reflection on art, social signs and the reality of the time. His works are often created from found materials and forms, things devoid of values that he carefully redefines by elaborating each time their logic of appearance.
