Hugues Reip

1-2. Parallel Worlds, 2008
3. Eden, 2007

—In his works, Hugues Reip reflects upon how the perception of ordinary, uneventful environments changes when it is temporally fragmented, sped up, slowed down, enlarged or inverted from moment to moment.
—In 'Eden', he presented an installation of flowers from southern France, which he had enlarged, printed and mounted on individual wooden structures which stood by themselves. Additionally, he also integrates sound into visual art to work with the aspect of abstract poetry or narrative in music. —Source.
—Hugues Reip (1964) was born in Cannes, France and now lives in Paris.

Jules Julien

Rebus

"The drift and shift, which operates on the work of Jules Julien, is the questioning about the reality of the world which surrounds us. In his meticulously drawings he puts in scene a world where the symbol blends with the anecdote and where the strange is concealed behind the images. An underground world where the super heroes would be called: Eros and Thanatos, where the tensions would give birth to chimera tempting and poisonous." —Jules Julien (1975) is an artist illustrator who lives and works in Paris.

Beautiful hues. I am always fascinated by the architectural quality of objects. Probably that is what is cautivating about still lifes, they are like landscapes on a table.

"Nathalie du Pasquier was born in Bordeaux (France) in 1957, she has lived in Milano since 1979. Until 1986 she worked as a designer and was a founder member of Memphis for which she designed many textiles, carpets, furniture and objects. When the group broke up in 87, painting became her main activity."

1. Expo DSAA. Poster for the year end's show at the Olivier de Serres school .
2. Tatiana font. Typographic research.
3. Hommes/Femmes. 2nd prize at 'Students, all to Chaumont', 2008.

Speaking about the Hommes/Femmes poster (translation mistakes if any are my fault): "Instead of having an institutional message about the equality between men and women, I preferred to talk in graphics. These graphics shape the letters. The topic was too big and too open, and involved things that don't particularly interest me. It seemed too trite to speak of sex equality or conyugal violence. In the end I represented the real statistics. I love this type of aesthetics because it is in front of us without really being paid attention to."—http://spvz.net/

Honet

http://www.aventuresextraordinaires.fr/

Cedric "Honet". Born in 1972. Lives and works in Paris, France. Honet rules out completely the idea of introducing sensu stricto graffiti in the exhibition area. So when he's not working for Prada or showing his paintings in the Speerstra gallery; he considers graffiti in his own way, that is to say like a practise : an "act" and not just its result. Graffiti is recorded as an act with "symbolic" nature, a day to day action. "I started graffiti in 1988, painting some walls along the lines tracks and on trains beginning of the 90', in Paris, then across all Europe from London to Bucharest, from Helsinki to Athens and far away cities such as Moscow, Beijing or Tokyo !"—from the artist's site.

Constructions I.

These series of conceptual architecture by Julien Barberousse gather diverse elements that have a strong resonance in me: constructions, buildings, and experimental architecture, the defiance of the laws of physics, and the harmonic coexistence of color.
