About the 11 artists whose artwork shall be displayed

Bruno Mangyoku – Never trust your friends.

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Tokyo. Trained as an animator at Gobelins,
Bruno Mangyoku combines his career as a director and illustrator with brio. His illustration
skills are undeniably nourished by his cinephilia, and the Franco-Japanese artist
draws a colourful universe where the emphasis is more on the characters than on the
setting.

François Maumont – The Island

Illustrator. Lives and works in Paris. His drawings have appeared in a variety of magazines
for young and old alike. He has illustrated children’s books, decorated walls and
designed posters. He tries to bring a touch of humour and poetry to his drawings.

Florent Remize – Birds

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Paris.

Johan Papin – Windows

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Montreal. After his studies, he joined various
animation studios working on animated series for young people, working in turn as a
set designer, character designer, animator, compositing operator, assistant director and
finally director. In 2013, together with six friends, he founded the MessieursDame
collective, which makes animated films.

Juliaon Roels – The Knight

Concept artist and character designer. Lives and works in Paris. Graduated from Ecole
des Gobelins in 2013. Juliaon Roels has been working in animation as a character
designer and concept artist. He has worked with studios such as Illumination Entertainment,
Laika, BlueSky and others.

Kim Roselier – Sunset in California

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Paris. He trained in New York with stylist
Gaby Basora. On his return, Kim Roselier decided to move away from graphic design to
devote himself to drawing, and colour naturally came to be associated with his line.
Although he favours watercolour for the sake of impatience, he also uses gouache,
which offers him a wider space for expression and enables him to develop his mastery
of colour.

Lila Poppins – Tarot

Paper artist. Lives and works in Paris. Armed with scissors, patience, creativity
and originality, Lila will transport you into her playful, exotic and spatial world,
through her many creations, whether in volume, chiselled flat, fixed or animated,
as long as they use the noble material of paper.

Pierre de Menèzes – Blood Bath

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Paris. He has worked for many clients like;
Nike, Apple, Youtube, HBO max, Netflix, Laika, Sony and many more. which allowed
himto work and lived in many city around the world such as Tokyo, London, Berlin or
Barcelona.

Théo Guignard – Strange encounter

Illustrator. Lives and works in Paris. He studied at the Ecole des Gobelins in Paris,
graduating in 2012. He then worked on a number of animation series and directed three
films (Mon Ami le Robot, Grand Central, Eclipse). His style is characterised by an almost
cinematic attention to composition, his geometric and colourful characters (often robots), and his inspiration for architecture.

Tom Haugomat – The Tide

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Paris. His style is fairly minimalist. He generally
concentrates his intention on a detail and then lets the empty space play its role in
highlighting it. While using a very small range of colours, he manages to give depth to
his drawings.

Vincent Mahé – Mars

Illustrator and animator. Lives and works in Paris. Digitalised or pencilled, the illustrator
expresses a daily life and an immense curiosity about our contemporary world: architecture,
the history of buildings and places, cuisine and travel are all subjects that
feature in his work. Using a carefully selected palette of colours and clear lines, he
depicts scenes from everyday life.
