Mark Prent: The most controversial canadian sculptor of his generation, known worldwide for his hyper-realist nightmarish sculptures. He portrays with body molding techniques his inner visions, without altering the dramatic or emotional charge of the subject.
Eric Braün: Multidisciplinary artist (painting, sculpture, comics, etching), publisher of the anthology 106U and founder of USINE 106U. His graphic universe explores different materials with humor and lucidity.
La puce à l'agonie: Designer, painter and conceptor, her work in visual arts focuses on recomposing fragments linked to childhood and by mass-producing little pink cats.
Mimi Traillette: Cartoonist-photograph and designer, she creates colorful and entertaining pieces with influences coming from rock & roll , comics and aquatic depths..
Yves Milet-Desfougères: Well-known french etching artist and painter, he explores symbolical themes with his ethereal landscapes haunted by hallucinatory visions. Member of the surrealists in the 60', he built his monumental carreer and is known of a handful of European collectors.
Daniel Erban: Brut artist to the core and mathematician, his oversize ink drawings on red paper are complex and decadent, translating by a transgressive gestual a dark and shocking universe, not without a certain humor.
Sweet Grognasse: A colorful visual artist, she works in graphic design and creates paintings, silkscreen and textiles in the tradition of pop-art.
Florent Veilleux: Kinetic sculptor and pataphysician, his monumental installations in motion have brought him international acclaim. The justness of his commentary as well as the absurdities of reality are depicted with a lot of humor.
Majka Kwiatowska : Polish expressionnist artist, her paintings and drawings depict the harsh reality and past of a graphic conscience who grew up in post-war Poland, contributing to the Solidarnosc movement. Her twisted characters, alcoholic and dark are sublimely rendered by a graphism that is simultaneously brut and sensible.
Ron Simon: Photographer and numeric artist, his works present a rich contraste between textured organic papers and his sensual semi-funerary numeric momifications.
Guy Boutin: Painter and cartoonist, he masters in multicolored raw representations of his graphic imaginary between comics and graffiti art.
Sam Kerson: A nomadic and visionary artist with strong social and political inclinations, his pastels, linocuts and acrylics are filled with symbolic expression and vibrant colors translate the movement, heart of his work.
Jean-François Montagne: Painter and designer, his artwork and plush toys have a minimalistic sharp-colored edge populated by an improbable fauna.
Cedric Taillon : Painter, illustrator and drawing artist, his artwork, charged with delerious humort, renders a mastering of the drawing technique through bold compositions.
Mathieu Paillard : Young swiss cartoonist and illustrator, his artwork combines sharp rendering techniques with grotesque cartoony subjects.
Scott Ferry: Painter, drawing and mixed media artist born and raised in Los Angeles, growing up in the punk, gothic and chaos orientated 80's. He has exhibited in solo and group shows in California, Arizona, Washington, and Quebec. He works in the medium of drawing, painting and mixed media. His artwork traverses a personal mythic world wrapped
in metaphors, beautiful and painfully violent experiences, the sadistic, the masochistic and funny innuendos.
Flo : French silkscreen and drawing artist, his compositions juxtapose techno-anatomical patterns in a retro and futuristic aesthetic.
Cecile Gilovannini : Young swiss illustrator, her work is characteristised by a dark and childish universe filled with expressionist distorted cats.
André Demers: Painter, he persues an artistic direction since ten years. Using strictly acrylic paint, he proposes a personal iconography full of cynism. He is influences by several artistic currents, although his work is caracteristic of Pop-Art as well as Op-Art.
Xavier Landry : Young painter, his artwork in acrylic stands out through a troubled iconography mixing childhood, mutilation, certain references to classical painting as well as blasphemous symbolic allegories.
Morbidique : Painter and illustrator, his morbid universe draws from comics imagery, pop-art and lowbrow art. His meticulous acrylic renderings reinforce his risky thematics.
Jean-Marc Lambert : Self-taught sculptor, his stylised characters in concrete and dental stone explore primitive aesthetics through mythological references.
Lany Turmel : Young mutidisciplinary artist, her artwork is characterised by a naive and very colorful and an intimist approach close to art brut and certain south-american muralists.
Normand Brodeur: Wood sculptor in the tradition of 60's, he patiently carves his psychic metamorphosis; a representation of organic life opposed to rigid structure.
Marc-André Jutras: Painter, anthropologist, filmmaker and director, he gets his inspiration in symbolist art, surrealism, art naïf, art brut,"custom culture", comics and graffiti. He is also influenced by iconography from other civilisations. He built his own pictural language through those sources.
Marco Nicodemo : Young visual artist, his ink and watercolor drawings on paper explore, through composite characters, an imagery inspired by comics reflecting an asian sensibility.
