Vicky

Fischer 

Born in Paris in 1981, Vicky Fischer lives and works in Paris and the Paris region.

Vicky Fischer is a multidisciplinary artist who graduated from the DNAP at the ESA in Rueil-Malmaison in 2005, the DNSEP at the ENSA in Bourges in 2007, a Certificat d'Aptitude Culinaire in 2010 and a Certificate for a year of interdisciplinary research into ‘Art and Cuisine’ as a Post-Diploma at the ESAD in Reims in 2012. 

Since 2012 she has been teaching at various art schools in the preparatory year and has been teaching drawing, painting and printing at the Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris workshops since 2013, where she also teaches at the Classes Préparatoires de Glacière. 

She also took part in artist residencies in schools in 2014 and at the La Fontaine media library in Paris in 2018. 

Her work has been shown in several group exhibitions in France and Germany. She draws her references from the popular imagination and everyday iconography, in order to confront notions of good taste, kitsch and savoir-faire. In her work, she uses a variety of media, from painting to installation, and employs principles of association and rupture that are characteristic of her conceptual approach.

France

HERVÉ

Born in 1967 in Bourges, attached to Brittany. She lives and works in Paris and New Zealand (permanent resident since 1996).

Performer (dance, theater, voice), choreographer and director, she is the author of several NZ award winning pieces, tuning the text to the perception/integration of movement (body, stage furniture, lights, sound and virtual landscapes). Without genre bias, her experience also includes musical theater, opera, street theater, radio, film, television and concerts. 

Stimulated by research, director and visual artist, France regularly collaborates in performative projects -in situ- with painters, architects, poets, musicians, art galleries and museums. She is resolutely interested in moments where disciplines and techniques combine, respond to each other and, through play, reinvent their contours.

France has led several workshops on the 'Performative Body', since the creation of Via Ferrata in 2016. She currently teaches at the Ecole Supérieure de Théâtre d'Asnières ESCA.

Laurent

Lacotte

Born in 1981 in Bergerac, lives and works in Paris and elsewhere.

Laurent Lacotte is an artist who favours in situ work and generally conceives his works according to the places he is in. Since the beginning of his work as an artist, he has deliberately used fragile and precarious materials to create installations that are most often ephemeral. He frequently intervenes in the street, or in sensitive areas of human circulation and/or sharing of territories.

More generally, his art, which confronts reality, highlights the tensions, contradictions and shortcomings of our contemporary society. He creates with humor and poetry installations and singular environments. He weaves bridges between art and everyday life, exploring notions related to public and institutional space, the intimate and the universal. The notion of the collective takes a definite place in his reflection and in his way of considering creation.
His work is regularly exhibited in galleries, art centers and museums and his works are present in several public and private collections.
For several years now, he has regularly led numerous workshops in art schools and beyond.
 

Michaël

Jourdet

Born in 1980 in Le Blanc-Mesnil, lives and works in Meaux.

After a degree in plastic arts at the Sorbonne, Michaël Jourdet joined the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts de Rueil-Malmaison. After obtaining a DNAP in 2003, he joined the Fine Arts of Paris, then received the Congratulations of the jury during his DNSAP in 2007. Since 2008, he regularly exhibits in Paris and in France: the 104, the Gaîté Lyrique, the Galerie le Plateau, the Abattoirs de Toulouse... and participates, at the same time, in different artistic structures or associations such as the association Jeune Création or the Collectif Ring. He teaches drawing and painting since 2011.

The teaching of the artist Claude Rutault and the writings of Kasimir Malevitch, at the beginning of his career, direct his plastic work and his questioning towards monochrome, conceptual painting, its exhibition and its interpretation by an audience. The notions of frame, surface and screen remain the bases of his plastic proposals.

Julie

Genelin

Born in 1977 in Nantes, lives and works in Argenteuil.

Through her installations, performances and the objects she creates, French-Austrian Julie Genelin scrutinizes how our societies relate to time.  Her work has mirrored this quest since her graduation from the Paris fine arts school “Les Beaux Arts” in 2006.  She has since been able to federate and join forces with other artists through the creation of two associations : Celeste, which was set-up in 2005 and organized art exhibitions and artists residences in Beijing until 2012, and The Chromatic Circle which has been gathering Paris Beaux-Arts School Alumni since 2017. 

Julie also holds a post-graduate degree as a Doctor of German studies and nurtures a passion for language which she translates into her artistic exploration of forms.   Thus her practice as an explorer of matter, time and language has framed her expression as an artist and fed her teachings as a fine arts (drawing, painting and modeling) instructor at Clamart Community College (Université Populaire de Clamart) from 2013 to 2017, and then at the Via Ferrata since 2016.

Béatrice

Duport

Born in 1960 in Saint Quentin, lives and works in Montreuil.

Béatrice Duport studied at the École nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris Cergy, the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and the Universität der Künste Berlin. 
She regularly teaches in art colleges but also at the CAMM in Bamako, Mali. 

Starting from the expanded field of sculpture and attached to the capture of reality, Béatrice Duport practices various mediums that she arranges in specific installations. She approaches space in its dimensions - architectural, geo-historical, cultural and social. Her pieces work on a link between spectators, subjects of an experience in the enclosed space of an exhibition, and external realities, near or far, past or present. They involve the perception of the spectator and solicit his active reception, seeking to construct what Jean Rouch called a "shared anthropology".

Olivier

Di Pizio

Né à Neuilly en 1957, vit travaille en région parisienne.

Diplômé avec mention des Beaux-Arts de Paris, il est enseignant et président du salon Réalités Nouvelles. Il construit sa recherche autour des questions de l’abstraction, nourrie par les problématiques du déterminisme et de la spéciation qui sont au centre de son travail. Il collabore à des projets rapprochant art et science. Il est enseignant et responsable pédagogique à la classe préparatoire des ABA (Ateliers Beaux-arts de la ville de Paris)

Continuer de peindre aujourd’hui suppose un projet fort sous-tendu par une exigence conceptuelle et une technique propre. Les plaintes hypocrites sur la mort de la peinture sont démenties régulièrement par des œuvres qui affirment leur singularité au sein d’une tradition renouvelée. Oliver Di Pizio produit dessins, peintures et installations qui mettent en crise la question de l’abstraction, ce qui complète son action en tant que président du Salon Réalités Nouvelles.
