A sculptor, a thinker, a global voice.

Ai Weiwei’s art speaks across continents and histories — rooted in Chinese traditions, yet urgently present. In this catalogue, his works reveal the complexity of a world caught between memory, migration, resistance, and reinvention. Powerful, poetic, and impossible to ignore.

Ogawa Kazumasa transforme la photographie en jardin.
Teintes à la main, ses images sont des haïkus visuels, où chaque pétale parle le langage du silence.

When history dresses you up, what part of you disappears?
In Volker Hermes’s artworks, identity is both staged and concealed — masked by the very elements meant to define it.

🖋 “We brushed upon everything that could tempt a conversation — from painting to anarchy.”
— Michel Zévaco

There is a Vallotton who doesn’t paint, but carves.

Who doesn’t color, but marks.

A Vallotton who moves through paper like it’s living skin.

A book that unveils this lesser-known chapter — where lines are sharp, stories are subversive, and illustration becomes art in its own right.

A journey into the age when print was power.

📌 The incisive line of Vallotton

Painter, printmaker, illustrator, writer, art critic — Félix Vallotton (1865–1925) moved effortlessly across disciplines, leaving a sharp, unmistakable mark.

In the 1890s, he breathed new life into woodcut printing with a style both graphic and biting. His talent quickly made him a key figure in Parisian artistic and literary circles — and far beyond, from London to Munich to New York.

“In this book, there is both maturity and serenity, the absence of affectation and ego, and something like the return of a curious, still extant childhood. A quintessence. And yes, the repeated invitation to take a walk within oneself and as close as possible to the landscape. It starts here”.
(Carl Norac)
