EDITORIAL 

Seven years old: The Reason and the IrraUonal in contemporary drawing. 

In the space of a few years, DRAWING NOW PARIS I LE SALON DU DESSIN CONTEMPORAIN 

has become an unmissable event in the contemporary art calendar. 

If the age of seven is considered the age of reason for a child, the same applies to our fair, 

which has reached a certain maturity. Nevertheless, we have succeeded in growing while 

remaining faithful to our conceptual roots. In this way we have been able to preserve a 

small element of the irraUonal in order to surprise our visitors both inside and outside the 

Carrousel du Louvre. 

Contemporary drawing sUmulates emerging young talent and brings forth new forms of 

expression and our role is to bring this new talent to the fore. These talented young arUsts 

will be faced with established values already entrenched in the history of art. 

This deliberate juxtaposiUon is highlighted by the organisaUon of our exhibiUon spaces. 

For the last two years we have taken the iniUaUve to support young arUsts by creaUng the 

EMERGENCE plagorm, allowing new 14 galleries to display the work of arUsts under the 

age of 40. This plagorm has a strong internaUonal dimension with over 50% of the 

galleries being from outside France. 

The REFERENCE plagorm comprises 70 French and foreign galleries spanning 50 years of 

contemporary drawing and providing a broad overview of the field. 

In 2013, DRAWING NOW PARIS takes on a Swiss theme, highlighUng the richness of Swiss 

graphic creaUon, the dynamic nature of the country's mulUple galleries, insUtuUons and 

museums together with the vision of its collectors. This iniUaUve will result in a large 

number of events both inside and outside the exhibiUon space. 

The irraUonal element is certainly to extend the extramural `HORS LES MURS' acUviUes to 

a number of sites in the capital and to present a daily DRAWING IN PROGRESS inside the 

Carrousel. 

Finally, our DRAWING TALKS and interviews with arUsts will enable us to unravel new 

aspects of the creaUve process. 

Come along to the seventh DRAWING NOW PARIS I LE SALON DU DESSIN CONTEMPORAIN 

taking place from 11 to 14 April.

DRAWING NOW PARIS is taking a Swiss theme ! 

DRAWING NOW PARIS is taking a Swiss theme under the patronage of the Swiss Embassy to Paris, and in 

partnership with the Centre Culturel Suisse. 

In 2013, DRAWING NOW invites you to discover Swiss contemporary drawing by hosUng a more Swiss galleries 

and offering several events exploring aspects of the country's drawing. 

The Levier Culturel Suisse en France is an associaUon whose object is to raise the profile of Switzerland in 

France through promoUng Swiss parUcipaUon in arUsUc and cultural events. 

In collaboraUng with this year’s DRAWING NOW PARIS I LE SALON DU DESSIN CONTEMPORAIN, supporUng the 

presence there of Swiss arUsts and galleries, it hopes to showcase an open, creaUve, innovaUve and 

mulUcultural Switzerland :

The Centre Culturel Suisse bookshop: 

Every day, the CCS shop will be presenUng reference works about both Swiss contemporary drawing, as well as 

many of the arUsts presented at the fair and drawing in general. The CCS bookshop has been designed by the 

architecture firm Jakob + MacFarlane. Located at 32 Rue des Francs-‐Bourgeois, the CCS bookshop offers a wide 

selecUon of books, DVDs and CDs by Swiss authors, arUsts and publishers in the fields of contemporary art, 

architecture, graphic design and literature. The bookshop also reflects events held by the centre and selected 

works featured in its magazine, Le Phare. 

Focus on Switzerland: 

A conference dedicated to Swiss contemporary design will be held on Friday 12 April at 5pm in the fair’s 

Project Room. Curators, collectors and arUsts will have the opportunity to discuss Swiss drawing and 

collecUons. 

The Centre Culturel Suisse is hosUng the closing evening of the Marc Bauer exhibiUon in the centre on 

Saturday 13 April from 8pm. 

Marc Bauer & Ka|a, The Architect 

In addidiUon with the exhibiUon The Collector, Marc Bauer has also designed an animated film: The Architect. The projecUon of this 

26-‐minute film is accompanied by a live performance of the French rock band, Ka|a. Silent, black and white, The Architect is 

performed according to the original techniques of animated film, each oil painUng on plexiglass is photographed and mounted one 

a}er the other. The epilogue is in color and in digital animaUon. The acUon takes place in 1922, during the screening of Nosferatu, 

eine Symphonie des Grauens in Berlin. A boy is si~ng in a movie theatre, scenes from Nosferatu mingle with propheUc visions of the 

young man -‐ its likely future as a Nazi officer, deportaUon scenes, bombing. Marc Bauer draws a mental journey through ciUes and 

nightmarish landscapes and therefore deals with the issue of free will of an individual soon crushed by History. 


The imaginary museum of… Jean de Loisy, for the 

Palais de Tokyo 

Having invited Pierre CorneVe de Saint-‐Cyr and then Catherine Millet – an aucUoneer and the founder of a cult 

magazine, who is also a writer – to reveal their ‘imaginary museum’, it seemed to us that we ought next to 

turn towards a public insUtuUon. We chose Jean de Loisy for two major reasons. The first was a friendly, 

generaUonal complicity with one of the most acUve parUcipants on the naUonal and internaUonal art scene. 

The second was his recent appointment as president of the Palais de Tokyo. 

Jean de Loisy ranks among the key figures of contemporary art, having played an acUve part in it for the last 30 

years. He has led large organisaUons such as the FRAC Pays de la Loire, the FondaUon CarUer, the Musée des 

Beaux-‐arts de Nîmes, etc., and organised presUgious exhibiUons such as Gasiorowski and Traces du sacré at 

the Centre Pompidou, La Beauté in Avignon, Les Maîtres du désordre at the Quai Branly, etc. His passion for art 

and his involvement with arUsts are known and appreciated, and that is why we asked him to take up our 

invitaUon. 

He did so immediately, offering a rather different response from the first two ‘imaginary museum’. In 

parUcular, he suggested working with the Palais de Tokyo, in order to highlight a site, a dynamic and a team. 

This will obviously take the form of an exhibiUon, but not in the convenUonal sense. The aim is to take drawing 

out into the open, to display it not simply on gallery walls, but outdoors. 

Philippe Piguet, ArUsUc Director 

The strange conjunctures of chance… 

Considered the mind’s most immediate expression, part of the presUge of drawing appears to stem from this 

inUmacy with thought, of which it is merely a visible extension. The trace of a finger in so} clay; a charcoal 

outline on a rock; a notch in wood or bone; an Inuit knot in loosened string; the shadow outlined by Butades’s 

daughter; doodles sketched during a speech; or graffiU sprayed on a subway train: drawing comes in many 

forms. 

But the world also draws without us. Tangled branches, wrinkles in skin, the poetry of wood grains in old 

furniture… everything becomes a sign, and we are immediately drawn into the visions of Novalis: ‘figures 

which seem to belong to that great cipher which we discern wriVen everywhere, in wings, eggshells, clouds 

and snow, in crystals and in stone formaUons, on ice- covered waters, on the inside and outside of mountains, 

of plants, beasts and men, in the lights of heaven, on scored disks of pitch or glass or in iron filings round a 

magnet, and in strange conjunctures of chance.’ 

EssenUally, the other ways in which the environment creates its design in the spectator’s distracted daydream. 

Invited to formulate its museum without walls of drawing, the Palais de Tokyo aims to seize this opportunity to 

reveal the way in which the arUsts whose creaUons it supports and who are aVenUve to these chance 

circumstances, move beyond paper to take part in the world’s great game of drawing. 

Jean de Loisy, President of the Palais de Tokyo

« I wanted to open a gallery to showcase what I like. We say « gallery » but we could say a place to show 

what's behind and the other side of things, to show painUngs, sculptures, photography and in the same Ume, 

every Ume, trying to invent new ways for pictures to circulate and stand within the reach of all: sketches, 

stencils, serigraphs, engravings, etc. » agnès b., 1984 

Opened in November 1984, the galerie du jour exhibits and supports the artwork of painters, visual arUsts and 

photographers such as: Kenneth Anger, Frédéric Bruly-‐Bouabré, Lucien Hervé, Seydou Keïta, Thierry Lefébure, 

Jonas Mekas , Ryan McGinley, J. D. Okhai Ojeikere, Harmony Korine, Paul Seawright, Malick Sidibé, Massimo 

Vitali, Acharya Vyakul, Seydou Keita, Abdelkader Benchamma. 

Abdelkader Benchamma's drawings are inspired by visual stories arised by thoughts about space and its 

physical reality, the limits and impacts with our minds. His drawings operate from diversions and modulaUons 

on the objects, demonstraUng possible malfuncUons in our relaUonship with others and things. It's all about 

considering objects as sculptures and spaces as potenUel objects. Shi} in the reality, intrusion of the invisible, 

small disasters, oral escapings form the basis of Abdelkader Benchamma's work. 

This arUst has been selected by Phaidon to be part of the eagerly awaited book Vitamin D that will take the 

inventory of a hundred of the main arUsts in contemporary drawing.

Prices of the works: 2 000 € 

Carlos Contente creates a dialogue between the impact of urban art and the inUmacy of reading a poeUc text 

while maintaining the authenUcity of each respecUve worlds. The arUst researches the intersecUon between 

the word and the drawing. He mulUplies his fields of invesUgaUon and circulates between tradiUonal media 

such as canvas or confronts more dramaUcal surfaces such as the wall. Always present in the work of 

Contente, is his alter ego ; a self-‐portrait that the arUst reproduces and defines as a metaphor of his 

consciousness. Rearranging the environment, he plunges into a world he did not choose, he can only adapt, or 

reject the change. 

Opened in 2008, the gallery Bendana | Pinel Art Contemporain is located in the Marais district in central Paris. 

Since its creaUon, the gallery’s mission is to introduce emerging and mid-‐carreer french and internaUonal 

arUsts through a very diversified program including all different supports. The internaUonal scope of the 

gallery is characterized by its associaUon and cooperaUon with foreign galleries to develop common arUsUc 

projects. Once a year, a « carte blanche » is proposed to a collector so as to present the works of young arUsts 

that have never before shown in a gallery space. With its internaUonal vocaUon, the gallery intends to be a 

bridge between cultures and in doing so initate a dialogue between the creaUve expressions of the arUsts it 

represents.

Art Brut defiantly resists assimilaUon by the disciples of absolute primiUvism and the upholders of triumphant 

high culture. Rather, it lies in the zones of fricUon between these two tectonic plates, where what seem on the 

surface to be distant conUnents overlap in the depths, raising the stakes of the challenge to the usual 

cartography of art. The territory of Art Brut is one of destabilizaUon and new foundaUons. It forces us to invent 

new tools to think of art, se~ng aside dogmaUsm and lazy intellectual reflexes. This is the guiding principle 

driving the work of the Galerie ChrisUan Berst, which has been a leading promoter of Art Brut for seven years.

Compulsive mania ? Internal decongesUon ? painful distorUons of a deviant imaginaUon ? a spirit of enraged 

regression ? No. Just a huge appeUte for forms, born out of what Henri Michaux called « the adventure of 

being Alive ». In this sense, ChrisUan Lhopital’s drawings are endlessly astounding, stunning, fascinaUng. The 

unstable magneUc field in which they proliferate, replicate, oscillate or vibrate like tuning forks leaves neither 

the eye nor the tongue unsUmulated. M. Abbou

o}enUmes exposing both qualiUes in the same obscure character or situaUon. Disparate elements emerge, as 

fragmentary as memory. Muted colors, gestures that gently seduce, all coalesce, imbued with an irraUonal 

humor, a dadaist absurdity. 

" I think that I drew before knowing how to speak ", declares David Scher. 

David Scher was born in 1952 in Saint Louis (Missouri).He lives in Marseille for 3 years.

Guy Oberson lives and works in Fribourg CH and in Berlin DE 

The drawings in black lead pencil by Guy Oberson strike by a destrucUve dynamism accentuated by the 

blackness of the stroke, the whiteness of the light, and always by the verUcal lines that sweep across the paper 

giving rise to a screen through which the fascinated eye has to fray its way. By intensely studying those 

landscapes, those figures or those portraits they dematerialize to evoke corresponding spiritual images, 

interior spaces, just as if our fears or our aspiraUons find themselves perfectly expressed. 

Faced by these visions of a dramaUzed nature, black lead is also exploited to realise huge drawings that hit us 

in an unstoppable spiral that goes from interior rupture to renouncement. Yet again, the spectator is struck by 

the network of lines that trouble percepUon of the figures or the landscapes to the extent that the more one 

approaches the work the more the surfaces and the curves drown themselves and the contours loose 

themselves unUl, before his very eyes, the subject disembodies to become an imaginary landscape modelled 

by a dim light. C. Schuster Cordone

CreaUve Growth is the oldest and largest art center for mentally and physically disabled adults. Founded in 

the 70s, when the de-‐insUtuUonalizaUon revoluUon was taking place in Northern California, a couple—an 

arUst and psychologist—did an experiment and opened up their home with art supplies to a small group of 

people. More than 35 years later, CreaUve Growth now has over 150 arUsts that come weekly to create art. 

In the large open space studio, there are several workstaUons—ranging from drawing, woodwork, ceramics, 

rug making, and video producUon—as a way to sUmulate creaUvity and promote individual expression. 

Contrary to art therapy, the arUsts that come to CreaUve Growth are not directed in their art and do not 

receive treatment from our staff. 

Several of our arUsts have aVained internaUonal acclaim and are recognized as quintessenUal outsider arUsts. 

Works by certain of our arUsts have been acquired by the MOMA in NYC, the Musée d’Art Brut in Lausanne, 

the Lille Modern Art Museum (LAM), the Museum of Everything in London, the ABCD CollecUon in Paris, etc.

Focus arUst : Lionel SabaVé, born in 1975 

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Rebecca Bournigault, BapUste Debombourg, Artus de Lavilléon 


Lionel SabaVé works across a broad range of media, including painUng, drawing, sculpture and animaUon. 

O}en his ideas and realizaUons are the result of spontaneous or improvised processes reminiscent of the 

postwar COBRA movement or early twenUeth-‐century Dadaist techniques such as assemblage. Predominant in 

his work is the idea of re-‐use: whether it is an outdated moUf, organic detritus such as skin and nails, or 

ignored materials like dust, he uses concepts and materials as a sign of the passing of Ume and as a way of 

quesUoning arUsUc pracUces. 

In his provocaUve and playful work, SabaVé o}en uses materials that are refreshingly unusual, be it in their 

ordinariness or their potenUal to shock or surprise. 

Similarly the arUst is aVracted to dust as a material since it contains within it evidence of the passing of Ume. 

Largely made up of hair and dead skin, dust in the home or other interior spaces is the result of a conUnual 

process of regeneraUon (human beings renew all their consUtuent cells in around a month) and as such 

contains a strong existenUal dimension. Using dust carefully gathered from Châtelet-‐Les Halles metro staUon, 

where large crowds congregate every day, SabaVé incorporates it into his work, forming it into a series of 

drawings and other figures. He chose this place to collect the dust as, in his own words, ’a huge number of 

people pass through there every day. Paris is also the most tourist-‐orientated city in the world, so in view of 

both of these facts, this dust is the most amazing collecUon of parUcles le} behind by living people! It’s a 

poeUc way of collecUng a wide social and geneUc sample.

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Bernard Ouvrard, Soly Cissé, JOFO, Richard Texier, Gérard Alary 


The works of Mohamed LekleU are representaUons of men, women, and real objects, and at first glance one is 

engaged by the accurate, genius, energeUc, and even blistering graphics, within a themaUc of that of 

movement. However, a closer look reveals, the subjects depicted: bodies violently coiled around each other, 

women heckled, unbalanced monumental forms, cycles launched in infernal races, all of which at first are 

perceived as being real and seem to parUcipate in a somewhat giganUc chaos. It is not insignificant that the 

arUst thus forces us to go beyond the immediate apparent and enter a universe of nonsense, struggle and 

conUnuous imbalances, a true nightmare, the very image of the world that we parUcipate in. Through his 

virtuosity the arUst describes both the powers and the fragility of life. 

Situated in the heart of Bordeaux, close to the Allées de Tourny and the Grand Théâtre, the magnificent 

arUsUc sphere that is la Galerie D.X can be found which came about in the space of a few years to bring 

together the enthusiasts and lovers of contemporary art. 

The Gallery holds temporary exhibiUons of major internaUonal arUsts (Richard Texier, Antoni Clavé, Antoni 

Tapies, Vladimir Velickovic, ZaoWou Ki, ...etc) and young plasUc arUsts (Sarah Garzoni , Pedro MarzoraU, Gwen 

Marseille...etc) 

At the same Ume as these individual exhibiUons, the gallery has a permanent stock of a range of original works

Focus arUst : Damien Cabanes, born in 1959 

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Clément Bagot, Taysir Batniji, Didier Mencoboni, Yazid Oulab 


We will show a set of gouaches on paper of Damien Cabanes, revealing his interest in human figure. It always 

embodies under a vigorous and energeUc line, strong, muted or vivid colours. 

These gouaches highlight the way he works, all at once in urgency and under long days of pose, when he is 

trying to consume his relaUon to the model through evoluUons and infinite progressions around a same 

character, a same a~tude or a same presence in the space. 

His wish is to keep « the wonder of the first sight on the model ». Damien Cabanes realizes his gouaches with 

rapidity, according to the immediacy of a definiUve and expressive gesture, opening and including all at the 

same Ume. Thus, the gouaches seem to be open to liberty of the sense and the sensaUons. It is less the 

anecdote, the appearance or the psychology of his models – always named by their first name -‐ but their 

power, their presence and their uniqueness to being human that is transcribing Damien Cabanes. « Those are 

not the feeling of the model that I express but mine » he says. 

Born in 1959, Damien Cabanes is a painter, drawer and sculptor. Graduated in 1983 in the Ensb-‐a in Paris, he is 

part of the nominated at the Marcel Duchamp award in 2011. A retrospecUve is devoted to him in 2011 in the 

Musée d’art moderne of Saint-‐EUenne; in 2009, his recent works were showed at the Salomon FoundaUon. His 

works are part of many public and private collecUons in France and abroad.

In his works is clearly delineated the scope of issues that the arUst is interested in discussing. Human figures 

alone or in couples, o}en described in whole or fragmented, as it was impossible to recognize them. Even 

when developing intact, these bodies do not have characterisUcs in their faces, and therefore not facial 

expressions that can not be disUnguished. They are immersed in environments that are described only in a 

small fragment of a white background reminiscent of desert landscapes.

Richard Müller (Schažausen, Switzerland, 1967) 

Since his studies at the NaUonal School for Art in Paris (1991-‐93), drawing has been an important and constant 

pracUce in Richard Muller’s art work.Using as a starUng point for his artwork printed maVers and images from 

real landscapes, he modifies them so that to create new images through various process of transformaUon. 

This change happens when he switches from one medium to another. So that a postcard changes to a 

drawing,a drawing becomes an installaUon, a video sUll transforms into a wall-‐drawing. It’s inside this ‘game’ 

organized with image and media rules that Richard Muller’s drawings raise the status of images percepUon.

fruehsorge contemporary drawings was founded by art historian and art criUc Jan-‐Philipp Fruehsorge in 2003 

as the only gallery in Germany which exclusively focuses on the presentaUon and promoUon of this parUcular 

medium. In our sixth year of parUcipaUon in the fair, we are very pleased to present you french arUst Corinne 

Laroche. 

Corinne Laroche lives and works in Paris and Berlin. Her work has recently been shown in various exhibiUons in 

Paris at galerie laurent mueller : « Correspondances : MarUn Barré, James Brooks, Corinne Laroche », in 

Villefranche de Rouergue in Atelier Blanc : « Once upon a Ume... » and also at the Centre for Recent Drawing 

(C4RD) in London and in Berlin at fruehsorge contemporary drawings: « Anschlüssel -‐ Berlin/London ». 

Presently, she takes part in the exhibiUon « System und Sinnlichkeit » ( « System and sensuality ») at the 

KupfersUchkabineV Berlin (Museum of Prints and Drawings). 

Laroche’s work traces an experience of the gesture and of temporality with the grid as a structure of 

reference. The arUst hachures squares or creates points by saturaUng the paper with ink. The simplicity of the 

chosen gestures that she describes as « poor gestures », in the sense of the « minimum », allows her to focus 

on the Ume elapsing.

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Eric Manigaud, CrisUne Guinamand, Mathias Schmied, Patrice MorUer, 

Jemima Burrill 


In Themlitz’s work, such moods are drawn from a memory archive that is more photographic than filmic: a 

sequence of sUlls, snapshots of recollected condiUons. These are then re-‐invoked through elaborate, if 

precarious, mises-‐en-‐scène: tableaux incorporaUng made figures, bought objects, photographs, films and 

drawings, sUcks and vegetaUon, pieced together into a habitat fit for the imaginary lives that populate it. 

These habitats are always far removed from the slick or the urban, drawing us into a world that binds rural 

custom to the lives of animals themselves. 

(…) 

What Themlitz gives us a natural history of drowsiness, one that highlights the transient relaUonship between 

fixity and lightness, rootedness and flight. Here is potenUality precariously captured. And if indeed, it is in our 

sleep that we reconnect with both our creatureliness and our humanity, The State of Drowsiness works to 

keep both at tantalizing arm’s length.

It was during her recent residency in Beijing that Tabouret decided to make self-‐portraits, her ideas on the 

genre paralleling her interest in water, and starUng with these words by Japanese novelist Yoko Tawada : 

« Eighty percent of the human body is made of water, so it isn’t surprising that one sees a different face in the 

mirror each morning. » Every morning, Tabouret looks into herself to find this inconstant face, working in 

Indian ink on extremely fine rice paper. Like her painUngs, these self-‐portraits are washes of existence : the ink 

is laid down, the paper drinks and the forms of an always shi}ing face are deposited on the surface. IdenUty is 

a territory to be explored, the place of an incomprehension, of an essenUal androgyny. Thus all her self-portraits, 

which are at once repeUUve and dissonant, form a great wall of images: the mulUple faces are 

overlaid and become one.

Part of the Breeder program of the gallery, Sarah Bridgland is working mainly with three-‐dimensional collage. 

The graduate from the Royal College of Art in London combines cut-‐outs from books and old magazines with 

drawn imagery and found objects to create inUmately scaled paper sculptures or mixed media collages. Ideas 

of deconstrucUon from pre-‐war art movements are coupled with the associaUve energy of Dada collaging and 

then fused with the playfulness of contemporary mixed media installaUons or even origami, to result in 

seemingly chaoUc mindscapes of our disjointed universe.Sarah Bridgland’s imagery plays with our visual 

memory, recomposing its tracks and traces in a kaleidoscopic manner. The BriUsh arUst lays out a vision of a 

fragmented globalized world that finds its equilibrium more and more as a macrocosmic system while 

stressing the importance and beauty of the details overlooked.

We are all familiar with Jean-‐Charles Blais’ pudgy, faceless characters, with the bodies or landscapes which 

deliberately espouse the chance shapes of torn posters, with the black ink silhoueVes. Such works quesUon

art, he typically quesUons maVer, and consequently our body, and mortality. 

Blais plays back and forth with what is tangible and what is not, what is real and what is only a representaUon, 

what is true and what is an illusion. Though the torn posters are very concrete, they have only been borrowed, 

and bear another, hidden, picture, than the one the arUst has painted on it. Both happy and unseVling, Blais’ 

works o}en offer a front and a recto, a visible element and a hidden one, a right side and a reverse side -‐ for 

example in his highly emblemaUc and exquisitely sewn clothes-‐works. 

Just as o}en, his works remain indefinable: neither posters nor painUngs, neither garments nor sculptures, 

neither gouaches nor collages. What the arUst is hiding from us, what he refuses to reveal, and because he is 

refraining from imposing on us his subsUtute for the truth, paradoxically enables us to approach what is 

essenUal.

KATZ CONTEMPORARY was founded and iniUated by Frédérique HuVer in 2008 and concentrates primarily on 

contemporary art. The gallery shows on the one hand emerging arUsts, where their support and promoUon is 

an essenUal goal, and on the other, arUsts who already have established on the internaUonal scene. Thus, one 

of the aspects of the program is to confront works by young arUsts with those of established names, ranging 

from painUng, drawing, installaUon to photography. Besides this, the gallery intends to regularly invite 

prominent arUsts from abroad and give them the opportunity to have a solo show, most o}en for the first Ume 

in Switzerland. 

Clarina Bezzola (*1970, in Zurich, lives and works in New York, USA) studied at Parsons School of 

Design, New York, unUl 1995. Her works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibiUons, for 

instance at Kunsthalle Wien, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt or the NaUonal Museum of Art in Trinidad. Her 

performances have been shown internaUonally as well, most recently in Zurich, Vienna, Istanbul and New 

York. In 2012 Bezzola’s work was shown in the solo exhibiUon „Fressen und gefressen werden“ at KATZ 

CONTEMPORARY. On the occasion of the exhibiUon Bezzola showed two performances in Zurich, „The Lady 

with a thousand Faces“ and „When I Walk Alone in the Streets“.

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: David Godbold, Rik Smits 


Following the death of her husband, Emma Talbot started making these simplisUc and pared back images of 

her life with him. These images are storytelling at its purest and most honest, however this is more akin to 

filmmaking. The layouts, the repeUUve imagery, the close-‐ups, long shots, cuts and edits involve you in the 

way that narraUve cinema can. Like any great Hollywood movie, Emma Talbot has included elements not 

necessarily connected with the primary narraUve, characters and events that set the historical context. It is 

this aVenUon to detail that elevates her work to another level. At Umes it feels slightly intrusive as the work is 

so personal. 

Emma Talbot (1969, Worcestershire) lives and works in London and has exhibited in the UK, Belgium, France, 

Germany, Italy, Finland, Australia and the USA. Talbot has been shortlisted for the John Moores PainUng Prize 

2012, and her work will feature in ‘The Power of Paper’ at the Saatchi Gallery. Her recent exhibiUons include: 

Kusseneers Gallery, Antwerp / the-‐solo-‐project 2012, Basel / The Jerwood Drawing Prize, London / New Art 

Gallery, Walsall / TransiUon Gallery, London / Hales Gallery, London / Kate MacGarry Gallery London. Talbot’s 

work is included in major public and private collecUons.

If I had to choose a statements, which would come closest to describing how I feel, I would choose a 

statement of Buddha : « The clouds do not disappear, they transform into rain », both because it seems the 

most generic, and because I have objecUons about the other two. What could pass for a quote from an 

almanac (and which is one as well) throws a light on one of my fascinaUons: the passage from one state to 

another, then to another, then to another… Every object perceived is only that at a moment of its existence, 

just as the one perceiving it is too. I feel close to the fact that this summarizes nicely the arrangement of the 

elements in my work (each of which is the result of transformaUon from one logic to another), and by 

extension, what I hope to get from existence: to conUnuously see new things from every part of my vision.

Jean-‐Louis Aroldo ( FR ), born in 1967, draws and paints. 

By culling most of his iconographic stockpile from the realm of film, Jean-‐Louis Aroldo relies on preexistent 

imagery. In the guise of a model, the media-‐based image (magazines and personal photos as well) sets up a 

screen between the arUst and reality. 

Therefore his drawings interrogates space limits inside the frame and what is off-‐screen, out-‐of-‐frame.

Galerie Lange + Pult, founded in 2007 by Céline Lange and Stefano Pult is situated in the Löwenbräu Areal in 

Zurich. 

Whilst being especially interested in new posiUons of conceptual art and neo-‐pop tendencies, the gallery 

program is focused on three-‐dimensional and installaUve art. 

Next to supporUng already established arUsts, such as Lilian Bourgeat, Mathieu Mercier, Gerold Miller and 

Olivier Mosset, the gallery also aVaches importance to build-‐up and establishment of young arUsts from 

Switzerland and abroad, such as Hadrien Dussoix, John Aaron Frank, Delphine Reist and Felix Schramm. 

For its first parUcipaUon at Drawing Now, Galerie Lange + Pult will present a powerful solo show by Swiss arUst 

Didier RiVener (born in 1969, lives and works in Lausanne). Since the beginning of his arUsUc pracUce, RiVener 

builds up a personal, poeUc collecUon of drawn images and texts he takes out from art history, literature or the 

press. By constantly remixing formal vocabularies that percolate up from our collecUve memory, RiVener 

creates references and cultural quotaUons that telescope into one another, elaboraUng a universal and 

resolutely contemporary visual language. 

In 2011, Didier RiVener held a solo show at the Mamco, Geneva.

Wolfgang Laib is well known for his use of wax, pollen and milk in pure, simple shapes which are o}en inspired 

by oriental cultures. They invite to meditaUon. A}er medical school and many trips to India he creates his first 

Milkstones in the sevenUes, and starts working with pollen. 

He parUcipates to Documenta Cassel in 1982 and the same year he represents Germany at the Venice 

Biennale. In 1984 he creates his first Houses of Rice and starts using bees wax in 1987 to make sculptures in 

the shape of triangles or boats. In 1993 the Bonn Kunstmuseum holds a significant retrospecUve exhibiUon of 

his work. A}er traveling to Mesopotamia, China, Korea, he has a show at Carré d’Art in Nîmes in 1999, then 

starts working on the Waxroom -‐ La Chambre des CerUtudes, a cave in the Pyrénées mountains which he 

covers with bees wax. In 2005 and 2006 the MACRO in Rome and Beyeler FoundaUon in Basel host important 

exhibiUons of his work, as well as the Reina Sofia museum in Madrid in 2007. The Grenoble Museum organizes 

in 2008 the biggest retrospecUve to-‐date in France. Between January and March 2013, an exhibiUon at MoMA 

New York features a large square made with hazelnut pollen which Laib collected over the past twelve years. 

Wolfgang Laib’s drawings bear the same energy as the sculptures. Elementary shapes with bright colors, made 

of yellow or red oil pastel, refer to pollen and wax while they are opposed to thin pencil lines.

The drawings by New York based arUst Jill Baroff (born in 1954) unite conceptual coherence with a high 

sensiUvity towards materials. ParUcularly concise are the circular “Tide Drawings” on Japanese Gampi paper. 

The hypnoUc form of the lines circling a common center is given a precise content and moUvaUon. The “Tide 

Drawings” are the visual translaUon of the Ude levels at various coastal locaUons over various periods of 

observaUon. The arUst takes hundreds and hundreds of measurements from the Internet, and using a 

compass, transfers them onto paper so that respecUvely individual paVerns of concentraUon come about. In 

other words: the diachronic sequence of the Ude levels is put into a synchronic visual form. Like waves of 

water emanaUng outwards, or the growth rings of trees, the opUcally vibraUng “Tide Drawings” show us the 

passage of Ume. In doing so, the circular form indicates more the cyclic noUons of Ume in Asian cultures than 

the linear western noUon, and it is in keeping with the perpetual repeUUve changes of ebb and flow connected 

with the lunar cycle.

For DRAWING NOW PARIS 2013 Maria Loizidou is exhibiUng a body of drawings, volumes and a video enUtled 

Tout est possible (Everything is possible), on the theme of memory and our percepUon of reality. 

Her drawings Memoscapes describe the landscape of memory. However the fragile paper is not merely used 

for drawing, but for also the construcUon of tridimensional works, which create an illusion of solidity. 

Oppositely, the volumes made out of hard and cold metal (Pelage -‐ visual) become as flexible and delicate as 

the line of a drawing. The arUst describes this work as an "inside-‐out glove retaining the shape of a hand. Its 

creaUon allows one to travel through a lengthy thought-‐process that follows the Ume and rhythm of its 

making. It is a vessel, therefore, of thoughts on art and life." 

The GPS Memoscapes video subtly relates the core basis of art-‐making, -‐ the use of colour, the tracing of a line 

-‐ to image and words in order to describe the relaUonship between art and existence… The film ends with the 

opUmisUc yet ambiguous sentence "Tout est possible" (“Everything is possible”). 

Cypriot arUst Maria Loizidou has parUcipated in many internaUonal exhibiUons (Venice Biennial – 1986, Cairo 

Biennial – 2010, Benaki Museum in Athens – 2008, Musée d’art moderne de Saint EUenne Métropole – 2010, 

the NaUonal Museum of contemporary art in Thessalonica – 2010, BOZAR museum in Brussels – 2012). 

PromoUng works on paper has been at the heart of the Gallery Maria Lund’s acUvity since 2006. Many of our 

arUsts are featured in public French collecUons.

Located at the heart of Saint-‐Germain-‐des-‐Prés, close to École des Beaux-‐Arts, the Lucie Weill & Seligmann 

(LWS) gallery was established in 1930 by Lucie Weill. Strengthened by its history, the gallery remains true to its 

philosophy: promoUng contemporary arUsts. 

Since its origin, the gallery has mainly focused on distribuUng works on paper and supporUng arUsts through 

publicaUons of illustrated catalogues. Nowadays, the gallery regularly works with independent exhibiUon 

curators in order to bring a criUcal eye on works of collaboraUng arUsts. 

The program alternates with collecUve and individual exhibiUons, giving exposure to works of French arUsts, 

but also internaUonal, covering domains as diverse as photography, drawing, video or installaUon. 

In January 2012, Victor Mendès, who was formerly in charge of PHOTO4 gallery, became director of the LWS 

gallery. A new showroom was inaugurated during the The same but different exhibiUon, in memory of Charles 

Zalber. At the same moment, a new arUsUc path was launched. 

Following to this renewal, the LWS gallery would like to confirm this energy and this curious desire which 

became recently some of its characterisUcs, by highlighUng new works of arUsts collaboraUng with the gallery 

as well as more recent findings, by discovering new talents.

Glen Baxter was born in Leeds in 1944. Painter and draughtsman, mainly it is his graphic work that made him 

known, in the United States at first, in Great Britain, in the Nordic Countries and in France where he exhibits 

regularly. By 1970, he creates a formula of legended drawings, became his shape of usual expression, diverUng 

the imaginary of 30s teenagers books. DecoraUng his drawings « old fashion » by delirious comments, he 

obtains hilarious shi} effects. 

Explorer with colonial hat, students with blazer, cricket players, drinkers of tea, or cowboys is the ordinary 

heroes of Glen Baxter. Stemming from popular narraUves of the 30s and 40s, these characters are placed in 

absurd and extravagant situaUons, in which they remain impassive. He legend this images in a " very 

journalisUc style, very in dish, describing absolutely fantasUc events. " (Télérama 1998) in reference to 

Raymond Roussel. 

Cowboys confronted with the Modern Art, English Pupils who " transform the meals of school canteen into 

authenUc food ", popular culture heroes’ parodies, such are the themes of Glen Baxter's preference. All the 

heroes of childish mythology are presents. But Glen Baxter address to the adults, intending his images to our 

unconscious. 

Glen Baxter cites gladly his sources: Lewis Carroll, Buffalo Bill, Tom Mix, George Herriman and those he 

admires: Jarry, Queneau, Raymond Roussel, BeckeV, MagriVe, Chirico, Desnos, Man Ray …

Focus arUst : Vuk Vidor, born in 1965 

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: François Bard, Claire Fanjul 


The series of drawings "MASH" by the Franco-‐Serbian arUst Vuk Vidor is a conUnuaUon of his series "Even 

Super Heroes Can not Save Us Now" iniUated in 2007. Fascinated by the fall of all mythologies, he has been 

inspired by images from the ancient Roman Empire to those of the American dream. Full of iconographic 

references, the "MASH" are much more than a graphic reinterpretaUon of the American comics. They are 

allegories underlining the failures and shortcomings of our modern socieUes. Superheroes are required to 

sacrifice themselves in order to save mankind from himself, the ubiquity of images sending us back to religion, 

and transfiguring them into ChrisUc characters and more generally into martyrs. Captain America, Batman, 

Daredevil, Aquaman and others are confronted to apocalypUc messages: "The day the Earth explode!", "Some 

say the World will end in fire." 

The "MASH" Utle chosen for this series of works on paper is the acronym for Mobile Army Surgery Hospital 

and also the Utle of the film directed by Robert Altman in 1970, a saUrical comedy in the context of the Korean 

War. Moreover, in many of these drawings, we find helicopters, characterisUcs of this conflict, not flying over 

the baVlefield, but over the chaos on the arUst's sheet.

Always in a posiUon to create links between art, territory and society, Jan Kopp uses different forms of arUsUc 

expression without favouring any of them: installaUons, performances, films whose common link is the 

drawing. He insUtutes a permanent dialogue between created images and borrowed images, calling on – using 

simple means – juxtaposiUons of meaning and the reversal of situaUons. 

Born in 1970 in Frankfurt am Main, Jan Kopp lives and works between Paris and Berlin. 

A major exhibiUon was devoted to him at the Maubuisson abbey (Val d'Oise) in 2011.

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Xue Sun, Steve Galloway, Markus Hansen 


Pasieka recounts: 

“My works describe a story with neither beginning nor ending, full of promise, yet someUmes without hope. 

I want my figures to exist without age, neither child nor adult. They are without experience; they are nothing 

more than the instant itself of the image. Each image shows an aVempt to understand their body within the 

framework of their acUviUes. It’s a serious type of play, one that leaves its marks, just how a first Ume 

experience leaves us with its traces. 

For me, nature is all that is not created by humans, and of which the human is part. She is for the most part 

mysterious, despite the o}en-‐devastaUng effects of human nature. 

And there is the dilemma: we are prodigal children, thrown into an ever-‐spinning evoluUon, plunged promptly 

into this awareness at the same Ume delighgul and terrifying, faced with a mortality barely covered by the 

rhythm of our day-‐to-‐day life.” 

Simon Pasieka, born in Basse-‐Rhénanie in 1967, is a German arUst who has lived and worked in Paris for more 

than 10 years. Galerie Eric Mircher presented a personal exhibiUon for Pasieka in September 2011. 

His drawings and painUngs are part of renowned collecUons in Germany as well as in France, notably those of 

the Museum Friedrich Burda of Baden-‐baden, the Deutsche Bank of Frankfort, the Staatliche Museum in 

Berlin, the Germanisches NaUonal Museum in Nuremberg, as well as the Guerlain FoundaUon in France and 

the Frisseras Museum in Greece (Personal ExhibiUon to come in 2014).

Hadrien de Mongerrand Gallery, which opened in Beijing on October 29th 2009, was founded by Hadrien de 

Mongerrand, former markeUng director of Artcurial, and Laurent Dassault, member of the AssociaUon pour la 

Diffusion InternaUonale de l'Art Français (ADIAF) and of the Friends of the Pompidou Centre AssociaUon. 

The gallery is enUrely dedicated to works on paper by contemporary arUsts. The gallery features a host of 

established Chinese and Western creators -‐ Liu Xiaodong, Barthélémy Toguo and Wang Du -‐ as well as younger 

emerging arUsts -‐ Sun Xun, Fabien Mérelle and Zhang Shujian. 

“A drawing shows the first outburst, the expression of passion” claims the gallery's founder Hadrien de 

Mongerrand. “It is essenUal to discover the pictorial roots of Chinese contemporary Art which has taken on 

such importance over the past few years. Whether it is a sketch for an Art piece or a work of Art in itself, the 

drawing allows us to witness pure talent”. 

Hadrien de Mongerrand gallery has chosen to specialize in this undeveloped field of contemporary Art 

offering internaUonal Art collectors and amateurs alike established and emerging arUsts’ works of Art in pencil, 

ink, gouache, felt, charcoal, watercolor, and any other medium used on paper.

Founded in 2001 by Véronique Nosbaum and Alex Reding, the gallery Nosbaum & Reding is located in the 

presUgious historic centre of Luxembourg City. The locaUon comprises two disUnct spaces allowing the gallery 

to run a two-‐folded internaUonal programme of exhibiUons. From the onset, the gallery has been focussing on 

young and upcoming arUsts from Luxembourg and neighbouring countries but is also showing exhibiUons of 

internaUonally known arUsts. Its programme has a strong commitment on figuraUve and conceptual painUng, 

alternaUng with photography, sculpture-‐ and installaUon-‐based media. In confronUng its public with new 

talent, Nosbaum & Reding has always been keen to privilege creaUon by sUmulaUng the arUsts to produce 

new work for their exhibiUons at the gallery. Nosbaum & Reding is parUcipaUng in Europe's main internaUonal 

art fairs.

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Vera Molnar, Yves Popet, Aurelie Nemours 


Opened in 1986 in Rennes with solo show exhibiUon of François Morellet, Oniris Gallery became over the 

years, a landmark of contemporary art in the West of France. 

François Morellet belongs to that strange category of arUsts, whose mixture of humor and intelligence, 

character and personality decisively induces his art. Class is usually François Morellet in the field of so-‐called 

Concrete Art and one could also menUon the idea of his art being near to Minimal Art if one takes into 

consideraUon the concepUonal tendency of his works. All these aVempts to localize his art, indeed reach his 

work, but none of them can term and seize his art representaUvely. Through the end of the sevenUes François 

Morellet created various works, with which not only single lines or raster lines are shi}ed by degrees, but the 

canvases, the backgrounds themselves seem to have come into moUon. 

The drawing from 1976 Utled « 1 -‐1 etc. verUcal – 1-‐1 etc. horizontal – 1-‐1 etc. verUcal – 2-‐2 etc. horizontal (Ull 

#25) », offers despite the simplicity of the principle used, a system which from its opUcal appearance 

phenomenologically seems to be quieted differenUated. 

In another exhibited series of drawings from the year 1977, all in the size of 45 x 45 cm, a simple principal 

formulates diverse pictorial results, simply through variaUons of proporUon. All the works of this serial, « 

Cercle fragmenté », « Triangle fragmenté », « Carré fragmenté » applies the same rule: a simple split of the 

frame to its own limit.

Claudine Papillon opened her own gallery in 1989. In 2004 she moved into a new space of 250 m², situated in 

the Marais, close to the Pompidou Centre. Within her program, she sUll support arUstes who became 

emblemaUc figures of the gallery (Dietman, Fridfinnsson, Roth) and wants to show as well the richness and the 

diversity of the french scene welcoming those arUsts who share her sensibiliUes, her sense of poetry and 

humor, her audacity, and occasionally even her sense of anU-‐conformity. 

Frédérique LOUTZ – Born in 1974, currently lives and works in Marseille. A resident of the Villa Medici in Roma 

in 2006-‐2007, she was nominated for the Daniel & Florence Guerlain Prize for contemporary drawing in 2009, 

and parUcipated that same year in the Force de l’art Triennal. Her works are in important private and public 

collecUons (such as FNAC, Centre Georges Pompidou, FRAC Picardie, FRAC Auvergne). In the last years, she has 

also been commissioned for many works in public space, private patronage and fashion. She teaches drawing 

in the Marseille school of fine arts. 

I make use of mythology and tales, because there is no psychology, only acUons. In my work as far as I'm 

concerned, there is no tragedy, no humour, no drama and nothing absurd, just an inversion of worlds without 

hope or salvaUon. I blend repertoires to specify the addresses. Playing with sense and sound are gymnasUcs 

that strengthen the physical move.*

Specialized for more than 25 years in strip cartoon originals and in illustraUon drawings, the Gallery PeUts 

Papiers stands out today as a reference in the 9th art. Directed by Marc Brayne and Alain Huberty, the gallery 

presents/displays a range of the Masters of drawing such as Hergé, Franquin, Tillieux, MarUn, PraV… It is the 

exclusive representaUve of Milo Manara, Philippe Druillet, Christophe Chabouté, Edmond Baudoin or Denis 

Deprez. Regarding illustraUon, it devotes one of these Parisian galleries to the draughtsmen Georges Wolinsky, 

Nicole Claveloux, Yan Nascimbene, Jean-‐Michel Nicollet, Daniel Maja, Guy Billout… Precursor in the sale, 

expert evaluaUon and the promoUon of work on paper, the gallery is commiVed alongside talented arUsts like 

April, Jean-‐Claude Gö~ng, Jacques de Loustal, Alex Varenne or Tanino Liberatore. 

FRANCOIS AVRIL 

As a mulU-‐talented arUst, François Avril approaches illustraUon and drawing as well as painUng. This heir of 

the clear line has gradually freed from the real to create composiUons to the limits of abstracUon. Placing the 

city at the heart of his research, he works out cityscapes full of lightness and poetry that transcend reality to 

provide a Umeless elegance. Exploring the infinite graphic possibiliUes that make up the modern megaciUes, 

he captures on canvas or paper the essence of volumes and colors that compose them. Whether represenUng 

dreamed or fantasy ciUes, the work of François Avril is an invitaUon to travel. 

Against the Ude of noisy and agitated urban atmospheres, it reigns in his composiUons a strange serenity 

where the movement of the human wanderings seems suspended.

The gallery Polad-‐Hardouin was launched in 2001 with a tribute to the painter and draughstman Stani 

Nitkowski. Following the spirits of that exhibiUon, the gallery has chosen to support and reinstate arUsts 

belonging to the New FiguraUon movement like Maryan or Michel Macréau. Younger arUsts with unusual 

backgrounds like the Syrian Sabhan Adam, rapidly joined the crew. Following the dynamics of these events, 

the gallery has organised a series of solo shows by Gérard Alary, Raphaëlle Ricol, Wu Xiaohai, Marcel Hüppauff, 

Christophe Boursault, Andrew Gilbert, Raynald Driez, Emmanuelle Renard and more recently Anya Belyat-‐ 

Giunta; beVer known in the world of furniture and design, Elizabeth Garouste has presented for the first Ume 

her drawings and sculptures in November 2011. In a constant effort to discover and share emerging painters 

and graphic arUsts, the gallery has been recently showing works by Caroline Demangel, Ayako David-‐Kawauchi 

and Daniel Flammer. 

Ayako David-‐ Kawauchi was born in Ehime, Japan. A}er studying Art and Design in Tokyo, she graduated from 

the ENSAD in Paris. She now lives and works in Paris. She began her career as a texUle designer and gradually 

shi}ed towards graphic arts. Since 2005, she devotes herself enUrely to drawing. She has regularly exhibited 

in France (galerie Plume, galerie ChrisUne Phal, Paris, DRAWING NOW PARIS, Paris), Switzerland (Galerie C, 

Neuchâtel) and Japan (Ultra 2, Tokyo Art Fair). She is represented today by the gallery Polad-‐ Hardouin.

Focus arUst : Kirill Chelushkin, born in 1968 


Kirill Chelushkin was born on the outskirts of Moscow in 1968. A}er training as an architect, he devoted 

himself to illustraUons and drawing. 

In the late 1990s, he made acquaintance with the arUst and theorist Dimitry Goutov and his Livchitz InsUtute. 

This club for aestheUc and ideological reflecUon reinterprets the thinking of the Soviet art historian, Michael 

Livchitz, an ardent defender of socialist realism, and criUcizes the formalist deviances of modernism. This 

encounter encouraged Kirill Chelushkin to pracUce an art essenUally visual, but more axed on the reality 

surrounding him. He made a series of drawings of Moscow seen through his car windscreen. «Moscow Mood» 

describes a dark misty city like a nocturne by Whistler, an impressionist road movie in a city in complete chaos. 

His portraits are imbued of socialists’s techniques and subjects. 

Krill Chelushkin plays with the textures of the world ciUes reflecUons in the rain, mud truck stuck, moonlight 

scaVered by streetlights ... This cataclysmic realism reminds us of the fragility of being in a world where nature 

takes its course. 

In 2005, Chelushkin took to sculpUng figures in thick slabs of white polystyrene. In parallel, he conUnued his 

photo and video invesUgaUon into the old forbidden ciUes and the factories in decline, monumental remains 

that dominate the Russian landscape with their sublime, lugubrious silhoueVes. 

He devotes himself to a representaUon of the reality that surrounds him: that of a Russian poliUcized, torn 

between memories of the past and the contemporary outrages.

Other arUst exhibited on the booth: Lothar Götz 


A gazillion Uny white dots, dashes, and spherical vibraUons that might be stars, planets, or molecules dri} 

across empty black space. Where the previous images roiled and overwhelmed, these assert a calm geometry 

of deep contemplaUon, the entropic distribuUon of dots steadied by the subtle grid formed by the seams 

between the Uled sheets of mulberry paper. Geometric rigor is further superimposed by horizontal, verUcal, 

and, in most of these works, diagonal white lines that act like the crosshairs of a celesUal viewing scope, their 

spartan alignment plo~ng Sol LewiV–like vanishing points into boVomless saturaUon. 

Look closely, though, and you can see how these clean white lines are complexes of cause and effect: 

someUmes they trace vectors from the file, le} white in the prinUng; they may also be folded, and thus be 

white by removal; or they might not be lines in the first place, exactly, but rather a conspiracy of dots. In the 

last case, if CoVrell folds the dot-‐cluster along its spine the paper will comply readily, perforated by the Uny 

variance of the thickness of the toner –– a sort of homemade, limit-‐case laser milling. ...

Who does the future of art belong to? 

The worth of an arUst does not lie in the arUsUc truth a person possesses or seems to possess, but rather in 

the hard work he has put into understanding the underlying mechanisms of art. Since not only possession can 

broaden horizons but also the path. Sincerity goes hand in hand with authenUcity and this in turn is visible in 

handwriUng, signatures and in parUcular types of work that can only be produced if nothing is quoted, copied 

or imitated. Jana Gunstheimer’s blurring of ficUon and reality makes her work a metaphor of arUsUc pracUce, 

of the unique design of worlds whose potenUality determines their strength. Caro Suerkemper uses seeming 

baroque ambiguity to make her style unique and disUncUve whereas Marcel Gähler and ChrisUan Weihrauch 

transform familiar, o}en unspectacular places, which seem mysUc and are frequently ignored into artwork 

with extreme dimensions – something only a visionary is capable of. Viennese arUst Eva Grün rules about self-revelaUon 

and masquerade, seriousness and humour, poliUcs and Dadaism and gives her work impish Utles 

which drive one to reflect on their meaning: Nothing clearly we don’t know. QED. Or rather – the future of art 

belongs to them.

Agnès Thurnauer, « Maintenant » 

OperaUng in a conceptual context, the work of Agnès Thurnauer steps naturally into the Galerie de Roussan's 

arUsUc endeavour, and so we now present Thurnauer's exhibiUon on the noUon of Ume with a series of 

previously unseen drawings on canvas and paper. 

In effect, the arUst's works naturally include within her pracUse the idea of the duraUon or Ume of work. The 

canvases are covered in acrylic medium, which limits the duraUon of the performance of the crayon work to its 

brief drying Ume. Here, the medium and the execuUon of the drawing are directly linked to past Ume, which in 

itself becomes a medium, like the stroke. The word “maintenant” or “now” enhances this idea of immediacy. 

For DRAWING NOW PARIS, a single figuraUve canvas it at the entry of the stand: a self portrait by Agnès 

Thurnauer. This drawing interrogates the quesUon of abstracUon. The punch of the figure is a representaUon 

of the crossing of spaUotemporal boundaries. The arUst’s body is perpetually struggling between the space of 

her studio and the canvas, and moreover the various ways of painUng: figuraUon, abstracUon and so on… This 

mise en abîme in the picture announces the imaginiUve mode of the other drawings included in the exhibiUon. 

The various technical elements in the work of Agnès Thurnauer form a concept that in turn are transformed 

into an artwork. 

Agnès Thurnauer’s works have been acquired by public and private collecUons (Centre Pompidou, Musée des 

Beaux Arts of Angers,…). She prepares a monographic exhibiUon for January, 2014 for the Musée des Beaux 

Arts of Nantes.

Focus arUst : Françoise Pétrovitch, born in 1964 


Born in 1964, Chambéry. Lives and works in Cachan. 

With both lightness and gravity, Françoise Pétrovitch always takes us where one does not exepct. Proceeding 

most o}en in series, she reflects non the world with an incisive eye that renders major current events as if 

they were the Uny things in life. The duality, the absence, the inaccessible inUmacy, appears on the surface of 

the paper. Whether by pencil or brush, it is her drawings that provoke our emoUons. 

The words, the objects, the animals, and the disturbing forms shake our habits and trouble our certainUes. 

They give us a glimpse of secret spaces, unavoidably disturbing and interesUng. Somewhere between 

tendernessand cruelty, Françoise Pétrovitch reminds us that are fragile, not far removed from the world of 

animals. 

Among her famous exhibiUons we can underline Tenir debout at FRAC Alsace (2005), two solo show in Japan 

(2007), a big solo show in Musée de la chasse et de la nature in Paris (2011) and another one in French 

insUtute NYC (2012). She also have shown her artworks in famous group show such as Etre present in MAC/ 

VAL (2007), Un monde sans mesure at MAC Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo (2009). Furthermore she prepare a solo 

show in FRAC Provence Alpes Côtes d'Azur and a solo show at Semiose gallery in 2013.

Russell CroVy 

Born in 1956, in San Rafael, California / Lives and works in Ojai & Upper Lake, California, USA. 

Known for paper-‐coated suspended globes and large-‐scale books containing a fervent network of ballpoint pen 

lines and color washes, CroVy’s vast body of work challenges the very definiUon of drawing, pushing the genre 

towards minimal sculptural installaUon. 

A serious amateur astronomer for decades, CroVy studied the night sky uUlizing his own array of telescopes, 

with occasional sojourns to professional observatories, along with making important observaUonal 

contribuUons to accredited astronomy organizaUons such as NASA and ALPO. 

He obsessively documented the night sky and celesUal phenomenon with his signature simplicity of line. The 

resulUng body of astronomical work was informed by actual scienUfic research, yet infused with the poeUc 

license of the arUst. 

Russell CroVy has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibiUons notably at the Turner Contemporary in 

Margate (Revealed: Turner Contemporary Opens, 2011) and the Judith Rothschild FoundaUon Contemporary in 

New York (Compass: Drawings from the Museum of Modern Art New York, 2011). 

His work features in numerous public collecUons, in parUcular at the Centre Georges Pompidou / Musée 

NaUonal D'Art Moderne de Paris, the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) and the Los Angeles 

County Museum of Art.

Since 2003, TinT gallery has collaborated with other cultural insUtuUons such as the Macedonian Museum of 

Contemporary Art, the Museum of Cinematography and the Museum of Photography etc, organizing off site 

projects and large-‐scale cultural events. TinT gallery launched its Project room during 2004, a specially 

designated exhibiUon space, where young arUsts are given the opportunity to experiment with in situ 

installaUons within a non-‐profit gallery se~ng. Together with group exhibiUons undertaken by independent 

curators, the gallery has accommodated since 2007, several autonomous teams of arUsts. The outcome has 

been a series of highly intriguing exhibiUons. 

In his work, the installaUon enUtled Anemic Archives, Christos VeneUs draws by playing a game between the 

moUon and wriUng of the images, their reading and interpretaUon. The work’s Utle is a joining of the terms 

“The Anomic Archive” (the well known arUcle by Benjamin Buchloh for the work Atlas by G. Richter) and 

“Anemic Cinema” (work by M. Duchamp). Lined up in a row, his 'animated' drawings, albeit fragmented, create 

a lively narraUve. Both the subjects of 'bare life' he chooses to draw and the bare backs of books, i.e. the point 

where the content is violently removed for the sake of flow and union of the "film", intensify the cogniUve 

lawlessness of VeneU's images and add drama to his narraUon.

Trinity Contemporary deals specifically with recent BriUsh drawing. Selected works by emerging and more 

established arUsts are kept in stock viewable by appointment and through a series of themaUc exhibiUons. The 

aim of this exhibiUon programme is to explore contemporary drawing pracUce and quesUon the boundaries 

between drawing and other mediums. The gallery has developed this program by commissioning works from 

the arUsts and producing a series of catalogues with texts by Catherine Lampert, Francesco Bonami, Jeremy 

Cooper and Richard Cork. Further, since 2010, an arUst is invited each year to take over the gallery and to 

present a body of work that broadens the understanding of drawing. These are part of our series called Trinity 

Project and are accompanied by fully illustrated and documented publicaUons. 

Trinity Contemporary is run by Luce Garrigues who curates the exhibiUon programme. 

Emma McNally. Born in 1969. Lives and works in London 

Emma McNally describes her works as a visualisaUon of complex systems, as a` visual thinking` around 

quesUons of space. Her drawings are o}en associated with mappings and constellaUons. They appear to be 

the result of scienUfic readings yet they have been made intuiUvely. Emma has an ability to quesUon 

boundaries to ensure that her pracUce is constantly an experimental venture in tune with a world in a 

perpetual state of flux: there is an ongoing feedback loop between her drawing on paper and the space of 

digital manipulaUon where a different nature of spaUal thinking is possible.

Focus arUst : Peter Radelfinger, born in 1953 

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Thomas OV, Karoline Schreiber 


Since the 1980’s Peter Radelfinger has concentrated almost exclusively on the medium of drawing and the 

value of this medium today with regard to the great variety of media now available. Using extremely simple 

means, Radelfinger manages to consistently create drawings full of allusions that interweave extremely 

dissimilar subjects together in a wiVy and enigmaUc way. Without accusing or moralising he highlights 

contemporary issues, which are at Umes unpleasant or fraught with conflict. 

The fundamental issues of the condiUons of percepUon and the reflecUons on the essence of drawing are 

present in all his works. Through his incisive use of both new digital technologies and tradiUonal means, 

Radelfinger plays an important part in the further development of the medium of drawing, therefore making 

an exciUng contribuUon to contemporary art producUon. 

His works have been exhibited in many museums and galleries, among others in the Münchner Stadtmuseum 

(München); Overbeck-‐Gesellscha}, Lübeck; Gallery Basta, Hamburg; Kunstsalon Wilde Gans, Berlin; Atelier 

Frankfurt, Frankfurt a. Mainz; Kunstverein Galeriehaus, Nürnberg; Art Museum Berne; Art Museum Aarau;

The Brooklyn arUst Brian BeloV makes deliriously seducUve painUngs. His art is animated by both MaUsse and 

the Marx Brothers and involves collecUng, cu~ng, slicing, and dicing exisUng material into a range of new 

forms, proffering a relentless, freewheeling, and o}en mysterious joie de vivre. His « laminated drawings » are 

« silly, jazzy, syncopated, and immensely colorful » and « demonstrate a gi}ed arUst improvising a process as 

much as compleUng a work of art. » (The Brooklyn Rail, November 2012). Brian BeloV’s work is a part of the 

Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collecUon. His exhibiUons have been reviewed in the NY Times and The 

New Yorker, Art in America among others. 

Since 1992, the Galerie Zürcher presents contemporary works through an affirmaUon of criUcal preferences 

based on an “inUmate convicUon” rather than a market strategy. Its ambiUon: promoUng arUsts who aren’t yet 

well known. 15 years a}er the creaUon of the gallery in Paris, Bernard and Gwenolee Zürcher decided to 

extend its acUviUes by opening a new space in New York, the Zürcher Studio. They now hold a dozen solo 

exhibiUons each year in the two galleries, along with shows organized by « curators », which provide 

opportuniUes to bring in other arUsts. So Galerie Zürcher is a single team, working in two separate galleries : 

the Galerie Zürcher in Paris, in the Marais Beaubourg district, near the Centre Pompidou, and the Zürcher 

Studio in New York, in the NoHo district of downtown ManhaVan, near the New Museum.

Young arUst, he established his plasUc créaUon and exhibiUon for the first Ume in France. 

His young age disapears under his huge dimensions drawings, where a dip in the violence let shows an ob-‐

“To quote Oscar Wilde, ‘Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.’ It that’s the 

thing that all the Kid’s subjects have in common—behind their youth and beauty lies a tragic story, like a 

flower that is desUned to fade. The goal is to capture them in their defining moments, forever caught between 

innocence and corrupUon.”

Others arUsts exhibited on the booth: Agnes Barley, Amy Feldman, Patrick Keesey 


Blackston is pleased to present the work of four arUsts – Agnes Barley, Amy Feldman, Patrick Keesey, Shawn 

Kuruneru -‐-‐ for whom drawing is a core component of their pracUce, whether as a final statement of work or 

as the basis for preparaUon of their work in a different medium. 

Blackston’s feature arUst, Shawn Kuruneru, employs rigorous applicaUon of miniscule ink marks over paper, 

canvas and panel surfaces to create highly detailed minimalist work. The undulaUon and accumulaUon of 

these marks develop compelling visual connecUons and perspecUve shi}s, as well as altering the texture and 

tone of each surface. 

Amy Feldman, uses drawing as an integral part of her art-‐making. She prepares for her painUngs by making 

drawings – quick and casual and frequently cut and reassembled . They are an intrinsic foundaUon of her 

planning process -‐-‐ and she translates the nonchalant, free-‐hand nature of her drawings to her studied 

painUngs. 

Agnes Barley’s geometric, collage drawings are reducUve and methodical exploraUons of structure and form. 

Her work examines concepts of place, context, Ume and meaning. 

Patrick Keesey concentrates on the relaUonship between seeing and marking, and the essenUal tension 

inherent in the process of drawing. His work is a record of the movement of eye across a plane. The resulUng 

non-‐representaUonal, shapes and mark accumulaUons explore the potenUal of form and space in their own 

right.

« My work consists in quesUoning the field of the art, its pracUce as well as its recepUon. 

At first I used a process of exposure bringing to think about the status of the work of art, its arUficial / this 

arUficial product which consUtutes a work of art, and to highlight the fact that 

an object remains in the end only an object, even if in the best case, what it sends back to us by looking at it, 

exceeds widely its materiality. So, What I mean by exposure is the fact of arriving at the formal result which I 

consider as a space of seducUon, and at the same Ume to show all the process which brings to this space of 

seducUon. 

(…) 

At the same Ume, since two years, my researches brought me to quesUon our vision of the abstracUon via the 

use of marks in the modern art history and the contemporary as well as in the African or South American 

tradiUonal art, tradiUonal socieUes using powerful psychotropics.For some of them, the use in a ritual way in 

the taking of powerful psychotropics provoke abstract visions which are retranscribed in the art of these 

socieUes (tapestries, braids, costumes, architectures, others). So, the used forms are someUmes very close to 

those appeared with the modern art and unUl today. "

Yifat Bezalel’s work is essenUally composed of pencil and ink drawings on paper or wood, installaUons and 

films. Bezalel’s drawings and installaUons are the representaUon of the creaUve process and thinking of the 

arUst. Her concerns with real/unreal, physical and metaphysical space, fullness/empUness, fragility and 

uncertainty are displayed in an inordinate space. The narraUve of Bezalel’s works, only at a first sight easily 

accessible, conceals a deep reflecUon touching poliUcal, religious and philosphical aspects, as well as formal 

and theoreUcal aspects of the arUsUc research. 

Yifat Bezalel was born in 1975 in Tel Aviv and studied at the Betzalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. 

She currently lives and works in Tel-‐Aviv. Bezalel has extensively exhibited in Israel and, since 2011, in Europe.

The galerie laurent mueller is a newly founded gallery for emerging arUsts in Paris. It is working together with 

young arUsts to promote their work in France and abroad through a programme around solo posiUons as well 

as curated group shows of own and invited arUsts. 

The programme focusses around the themes of connecUons, lines, conUnuity, progress and perspecUves. 

Cra}, not only as arUsUc experUse but a state of mind, as holisUc approach to one's work as well as to the 

viewpoints, trends and feelings of our society also plays a role. 

The further goal of the gallery is to enable an exchange between arUsts, their ideas, their cultures and their 

styles through confrontaUon and dialogue.

Founded and directed by Vincent Sator to promote up-‐and-‐coming contemporary French and internaUonal 

arUsts, Galerie Sator opened its doors in Paris in October 2011. Taking an interest in all mediums (painUng, 

photography, drawing, objects, installaUons, video…) Galerie Sator endeavors to support arUsts whose work 

balances between conceptual and aestheUc poles. Man and his representaUon are at the heart of the gallery’s 

approach. 

With a degree in PoliUcal Science and Art History, Vincent Sator has worked in France, Switzerland and Hong 

Kong for public insUtuUons as well as private art galleries such as the Musée NaUonal d’Art Moderne, la 

direcUon des Musées de France, the Musée du Louvre, and Blondeau Fine Arts Services in Geneva. In 2007 he 

co-‐founded Galerie Blue Square in Paris, specializing in contemporary Russian art, which he co-‐directed unUl 

2010. 

Gabriel Leger (born in Paris in 1977, lives and works in Paris) creates ficUonal universes quesUoning Man’s 

relaUonship to the world, his self-‐control, and his surroundings. Profoundly anchored in a relaUonship 

between mark and design, developed on a plurality of supports and maintained by research into diverse 

technical processes, the work of Gabriel Leger is a narraUon of man, imprinted with mystery and poetry, 

absurdity and quotaUons. His oniric universe draws its source from the connecUon man maintains with the 

world and his desire for mental construcUon.

Show Room is proud to present the new work of Zachary Bruder and the Found Drawings of Anne Deleporte. 

Zachary Bruder’s drawings are visually elegant, strikingly simple with a nod to Pop Art and Brancusi . They are 

also maps for ideas and belief systems. 

Working with a limited paleVe, he propels his shaped panels into acUve vessels of meaning and informaUon.. 

The polygon he favors refer to signage, banners , flags, placards , perhaps the outline of arUfacts, and are 

steeped in poliUcal and cultural moVos. . 

Saturated dots of black ink applied to the surface act as stars that seek to connect. These interacUons create 

constellaUons within the shaped frame. 

From microcosm to macrocosm, cell to atom, everything in the world is essenUally made up of the same 

material, Bruder’s energized picture plane transformed to entropy. 

Zachary Bruder was born in 1984 and lives and works in New York City.

Other arUst exhibited on the booth: Rasmus Rosengaard 


Established in June 2011, SOD the only specialized gallery in Copenhagen striving to show current trends in 

contemporary drawing more coherently. 

The arUsts represented by SOD Gallery work within a variety of media, rooted in a dynamic approach to 

drawing, reflecUng mixed media expression and thereby expanding the current horizons, to create a lasUng 

contemporary impression, of drawn arts uniqueness. 

The focus arUst at DRAWING NOW PARIS 2013 is Danish-‐Japanese arUst Silas Inoue. Through a diverse arUsUc 

pracUce consisUng of drawings, watercolors and sculptural objects Inoue work with a visual poetry in which 

each work is the subject of a contemplaUve work, dedicated to various thought experiments and a meditaUve 

absorpUon in the material. 

O}en inspired by poeUc literature Inoue seems to raise various holisUc and existenUal quesUons that are o}en 

expressed as nightmarish or adventurous frames of mind that relate to the darker sides of life. 

The second arUst represented by SOD is Rasmus Rosengaard. The focal point of his arUsUc pracUce is the 

monochrome work, its materiality and its contemplaUve opportuniUes. 

Rosengaard will present some large scale drawings, where he in graphite alone tests the limits and possibiliUes 

of the frey monochrome, which involves a special focus on the processing of sensiUve and ambient elements 

of the picture plane. The drawings are done on paper or canvas with graohite dust, which undergoes a long-winded 

process in which the graphite is smoothed on the surface with a cloth to create and explore a spaUal 

depth or evocaUve elements.

Focus arUst : Myriam El Haïk, born in 1973 


Myriam El Haïk (1973), is a French-‐Moroccan arUst, performer and composer. Her more recent work explores 

repeUUve wriUng. Simple signs that vaguely but explicitly refer to Arabic leVers are lined up, right to le}. A 

fairly rapid scribbling with colored felt-‐Up pens, iniUally on paper in her ‘cahiers de puniUon’, then directly on 

the wall. 

MonochromaUc or superposed in layers of different colors, the lined up signs create rhythmic fields. And 

broader rhythmic structures emerge between the superposed layers suggesUng some curved form, a piece of 

cloth, perhaps a flag. Polyrhythmic music, work with basic rhythmic moUfs that get out of, and back into, step 

is not far. 

As for music the making is important. Whether bend over a table laboriously filling her ‘cahiers’ or upright in 

front of a wall, the exercise is physical. It engages, informs, and in its obsessive repeUUveness eventually forces 

the body. Myriam El Haïk’s works reflect on the physical disciplines surrounding wriUng and the learning of 

wriUng. 

Perhaps, Myriam El Haïk’s “wriUngs” really belong to another stream of her work: performance. It’s the act of 

wriUng, silently, at a given place and a given Ume. A memory that is physical more than anything else, a 

meaning well before the meaning that comes with the leVers of some alphabet. In her recent creaUons, she 

comes to weave bonds between different mediums : drawing, music, dance and video.

Julio Pastor (1981), comes from Mexico City, but now lives in Groningen, the Netherlands. His moving from 

one of the worlds largest ciUes to a town of nearly 200.000 inhabitants has largely affected his view on how 

urban infrastructure affects his everyday habits. This way he became much more sensible to issues concerning 

urban planning, and the subject maVer of his art producUon is pointed at quesUoning the way ciUes are being 

built, restructured and adapted. 

The training programme for running a marathon allows the arUst to discover certain things in the city of 

Groningen which would have otherwise remained unnoUced. The series of small watercolours that show 

different places in Groningen where he has found the same graffi~ stencil of a young African guerilla reflects 

these findings. Using watercolours he tries to show places where the city shows a certain fragility. He tries to 

take profit of the parUcular characterisUcs that the medium of watercolour can offer. Some of these pieces 

were therefore drawn on the spot, becoming, this way, the recording of a long period of Ume that the arUst 

spent in front of the subject maVer. 

A new series of drawings is currently evolving during an arUst-‐in-‐residency stay in Berlin. Here Pastor is 

searching for places that show this city that is always changing. Constantly construcUon work is taking place, 

but someUmes buildings are le} unfinished, like the monument designed by Albert Speer, that was le} in a 

residenUal area a}er World War 2.

Focus arUst : Vincent Broquaire, born in 1986 

Other arUst exhibited on the booth: Cedric Quissola 


With black felt-‐Up as his medium of choice, Vincent Broquaire portrays the shi}ing landscape of a world 

subject to the buffeUng forces of invenUon. Bent on depicUng reality -‐ along with all its absurdiUes -‐ he 

sketches its hidden fantasy and ambiUon. Through the humor of his spontaneous reflecUons we see the other 

side of a perfect society. Vincent Broquaire, conversant with new technology, idenUfies the limits of our 

influence and control over innovaUon, and conceives the consequences of our irraUonal undertakings. From 

the news in brief to the most dramaUc stories, his distanced and criUcal perspecUve brings out their poeUcal 

designs and underlying pathos.

Graphic enchantments of Emilio Terry : criUcal selecUon of proto drawings 

Baroque and neo-‐classical, inventor of the "Louis XVII style", admirer of Palladio and 

Ledoux, Emilio Terry (1890-‐1969) conUnues to feed the confluent imaginaUons and 

imaginaUve worlds of designers, architects, decorators and French or foreign 

landscapers. The presentaUon of twenty works from the outstanding collecUon of the 

Department of Graphic Arts of the Musée des Arts décoraUfs (not less than 1200 

drawings) authorizes, on the principle of accumulaUon, miscellaneous comparisons 

and lisUngs, the coverage of a temporal prism open from the 1930s to the turn of the 

1970s, the materiality of the carried out orders (or in progress because not achieved),

14/03 -‐ 12/05/13 

A black-‐and-‐white exhibiUon based on recent acquisiUons by the Frac Ile-de-‐France, 

Paint it Black. proposes a radical formal concept, the beVer to 

bring out the intrinsic logic of each of the works on view, which can be 

based on an abstracUon of reality, conjure up the perforce selecUve work of 

memory, or propose various cosmic visions of the world… By referring 

explicitly to music, Paint it Black. is endowed with a set of scores which, in a 

conceptual manner that has historically encouraged black and white in its 

quest for the ideal, pace the exhibiUon like so many potenUal refrains.

Comic-‐Transfer 

Berlin-‐Paris-‐Beyrouth, the city and its borders 

An exhibit by Zeina Abirached, Paula Bulling and Nicolas Wild 

09 -‐ 27/04/13 

Three ciUes, three ways of looking at a city, a culture, a society – three ways of 

experiencing the borders of a metropolis. For two weeks, Zeina Abirached, Paula 

Bulling and Nicolas Wild, the comic book authors, changed places in life and work. A 

game of hare and hounds, a paper trail, a treasure hunt, prepared by each of the 

authors led them to unexpected, unusual or emblemaUc places, in search of the 

geographic, religious and social borders of the city. 

This exhibit follows their paths through sketches, original drawings and stories from the 

blog created especially for the occasion. This will give visitors a taste of the larger 

exhibit to be presented in 2014 that will bring together all the arUsts who took part in 

the Comic-‐Transfer Project.

Arno Kramer 

08/04 -‐ 29/09/13 

The musée de la Chasse et de la Nature seeks to examine the relaUonship between man 

and his natural environment through arUsUc and cultural heritage they inspire. Through its 

cultural program, thinkers and arUsts of our Ume are invited to enrich the perspecUve 

developed by the permanent exhibiUon of the museum. The Dutch designer and curator 

Arno Kramer (born 1945) is invited to create a monumental and ephemeral drawing as to 

invade the walls of the staircase of the hôtel de Guénégaud, built by François Mansart 

(1598 -‐1666). The dreamlike and inhabited landscape offers a renewed percepUon of this 

masterpiece of the "god of French architecture"...

03/04 -‐ 13/05/13 

Adapted to the specific needs related to the producUon of Sèvres, 

engraving let report, at will, friezes, roseVes and aVributes on difficult 

surfaces to decorate with ease and accuracy difficult to achieve 

manually. Many designs of ornaments and decoraUve friezes, and also 

the collecUon of engraved plates, sUll in use in decoraUng shops, show 

the place of this technique in Sèvres. Etching is used in the workshops 

of the Manufacture in the second half of the eighteenth century for 

tesUng transfer of gold decoraUve paVerns on some parts service, but 

the first prinUng workshop was established in 1806 at the 

Manufacture. The significant growth of this technique in Sèvres during the first half of the nineteenth century is linked to 

the creaUon of large tableware and vases. This tradiUon has conUnuedunUl today, while adapUng to the changing 

shapes, designs and styles. Since the 1960s, arUsts like Mitsuko Takano, Roberto MaVa and Philippe Favier renewed use 

of this technique in creaUng contemporary pieces. The presentaUon of drawings and engravings ornaments Sèvres from 

the nineteenth to the twenty-‐first century, explains the role of etching in the set design and show the major role of 

Sèvres in the history of decoraUve arts.
