​

Ortaire de Coupigny is known for his surreal sculptural assemblages and internationally exhibited sardine can series. Clotilde Aksin-Frappier brings a fresh approach to oil pastel, blending color and technique on traditional Japanese shikishi boards. Olivia Lomenech Gill, illustrator of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling, combines etching and mixed media with literary depth. Haruka Miyamoto sculpts animals in metal, leather, and fabric, and contributed hand-crafted butterflies to the fairytale gown in Disney’s Cinderella. Christian Halna du Fretay merges figuration and abstraction, including recent works on shikishi, with pieces held in public collections in France and China. Sébastien Coueffic distills the urban landscape into saturated, architectural compositions, often painted on Japanese shikishi boards. Kwon YoungJin explores lightness and gesture through layered techniques on shikishi, revealing the subtle materiality of paper in her abstract visual language.
