Members of the jury and selected for the 2020 edition
Maja Wisniewska was born in 1973 in Lodz, Poland. She lives and draws in Paris.
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, Poland, she graduated from Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2002 with unanimous congratulations from the jury. In 2011, she presented a solo exhibition at the Laurence Esnol Gallery, Paris and has since participated in two numerous group exhibitions.
She teaches anatomy for beginners and morphology for students who already have good knowedge in drawing at the New Academy of Amateurs of Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Artist for whom drawing has been at the heart of his approach since his studies, Laurent Okroglic develops a project that combines research, design and formalization. The versatility of his favorite medium, drawing, allows him to approach different registers of forms and thus inscribe the artistic practice at different levels: video animation, large format work, graphic painting, comic book and artist's book.
Graduated from Beaux-Arts de Paris with the congratulations of the jury in 2000, member of the Casa Velàzquez from 2000 to 2002, he has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in galleries in Paris, Berlin and Belgrade. Professor of drawing of Beaux-Arts de Paris since 2006, he develops a quality pedagogical relationship with the public: dialectic, exchange, reflection and experimentation. Beyond the transmission of the plastic tools, it is a philosophy of the glance which is invited in the exchange. The expertise as well as his individual approach offer to his speech the performativity in the realization of the student.
François Mendras was born in 1962, he lives in Paris. He is a graduate of Beaux-Arts de Paris.
His works have been presented at the Fondation Cartier, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Toulouse, the Palais des Congrès in Paris, the Centre d'Art Contemporain du Creux de l'Enfer in Thiers, the Museum of Boulogne, and the Fiac. They are present in several public collections such as the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain or the Frac d'Ile-de-France and Auvergne.
He teaches live model drawing at the New Academy for Amateurs of Beaux-Arts de Paris. His teaching emphasizes observation, so that the student learns to situate a form in the middle of others, to simplify it in order to be able to read it, memorize it and finally reproduce it by going from three to two dimensions. He tackles the questions of proportions, shortcuts, rendering of light and space, but also contemporary artistic questioning by referring to works of today as well as those of the past.
