ARTISTES
1024 Architecture
1024 architecture creates works at the intersection of art and architecture, orchestrating sound and light in space through computer code. Founded in Strasbourg in 2007 by Pier Schneider and François Wunschel, joined by Nico Merlin in 2014, the studio unites architecture and visual art through permanent audiovisual installations, temporary structures, scenography and immersive real-time performances. From exhibition pieces to monumental public installations, 1024 explores space through geometry, light, sound and movement.
The Work and the Movement
In Volume, the artists of 1024 architecture use light as a construction material. Composed of superimposed LED planes, the installation creates a volume in a constant state of transformation. Inspired by imagery produced by medical scanners, it reveals a space that is continually reconfiguring itself. Here, movement lies not in the displacement of an object, but in the way light constructs and deconstructs the volume.
Kenia Almaraz Murillo
Kenia Almaraz Murillo (b. 1994, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia) creates wall sculptures combining woven Andean threads, recycled urban objects and LED light. Bridging family heritage, diasporic identity and Andean cosmology, her works celebrate pre-Columbian creatures and ancestral rituals. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, she also explores painting and large-scale murals. Shown at Perrotin, le19M and the Musée des Arts et Métiers, she is based in Paris and represented by Waddington Custot.
The Work and the Movement
Part of the Le Temple du sommeil series, El Pájaro dormilón is inspired by the common swift, a migratory bird capable of sleeping in flight through brief microsleeps. Taut threads, light and colour create a suspended landscape in which the vertical thrust of flight meets the soothing horizontality of weaving. Through this textile work, Kenia Almaraz Murillo celebrates the rhythms of life and the subtle balance connecting animals, nature and humankind.
Tiffany Bouelle
Tiffany Bouelle is a multidisciplinary French-Japanese artist based in Paris. Her committed practice lies at the intersection of art and craft, grounded in repetition, transmission and mastery of gesture. Trained in traditional calligraphy by her grandfather, a master calligrapher, she has spent the past decade reinterpreting its codes through contemporary tools and media, developing a distinctive technique that visually evokes marquetry.
The Work and the Movement
Drawing on her French-Japanese heritage, Tiffany Bouelle develops a distinctive visual language rooted in calligraphy. Each gesture extends the one before it, gradually forming an organic rhythm. Patiently pursued “to the point of exhaustion”, this practice becomes a grammar of its own, poised between painting and dance. Nature, travel and encounters are the principal sources of inspiration in her work. This watercolour was created for the House of Longchamp, which presented a series of her works in its boutiques in 2023.
Elias Crespin
Elias Crespin (b. 1965, Caracas) is a Venezuelan artist based in Paris. At the intersection of kinetic art, programming and geometric abstraction, he creates moving sculptures that explore breath, time and the metamorphoses of living forms. His work has been presented by major international institutions, including the Louvre, the Grand Palais and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and is held in important public and private collections.
The Work and the Movement
Moving with almost imperceptible slowness, Plano Flexionante 7 unfolds as a kinetic sculpture whose variations are meticulously composed by Elias Crespin. Suspended in space, its aluminium elements continually reconfigure a living geometry. Time becomes a material in its own right, transforming the sculpture into an infinite succession of configurations. The work invites visitors to slow down and experience a movement that seems never to end.
Carlos Cruz-Diez
Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923–2019) was a French-Venezuelan artist and a leading figure in optical and kinetic art. He settled in France in 1960, where he developed the greater part of his practice. For more than 70 years, he explored colour as an autonomous reality, capable of changing with the viewer’s gaze and movement. His monumental works and installations can be found in public spaces and in the collections of major museums, including MoMA in New York, Tate Modern and the Centre Pompidou.
The Work and the Movement
In Physichromie 2710, Carlos Cruz-Diez does not depict colour: he brings it into being. The fine strips that make up the work act as a “light trap”, in the artist’s words. They capture, reflect and fragment rays of light, producing colours that do not exist on the support itself. As visitors move, these variations are continually renewed. More than an optical effect, Carlos Cruz-Diez sought to recreate the phenomena of light that we observe in nature.
Caroline Denervaud
Caroline Denervaud (b. 1978, Lausanne) is an artist whose practice brings together performance, painting and video. Using precise protocols, she engages an expanded awareness of the body and its environment. These actions give rise to works that examine the relationships between gesture, the body and the systems that shape them. Through this hybrid practice, Denervaud has developed an abstract visual language grounded in the lived experience of the body. Her work has been exhibited across Europe, the United States and Asia.
The Work and the Movement
Both dancer and visual artist, Caroline Denervaud makes her body her primary creative tool. Each work emerges from a dialogue between gesture, breath and colour, with painting becoming the trace of a choreography. In Never Stop Playing, the forms appear to sustain their momentum long after taking shape. The eye is invited to follow this rhythm, turning the painting into a sensory experience. Rather than representing movement, the work preserves its imprint, revealing the memory of gesture within every form.
Guillaume Grando
Guillaume Grando (b. 1978, Bagnolet, France) lives and works in Biarritz. A multidisciplinary artist, he moved to New York in 2008, where his work was shown across the United States and Asia. During this period, his surfing practice, split between California and the Basque coast, began to inform his artistic research. In 2011, he introduced resin into his work. Based in Biarritz since 2016, he has developed the Surface et Profondeur series, through which he explores the interactions between light, matter, space, reflection, perception and movement.
The Work and the Movement
In Surface & Depth, Guillaume Grando explores the connections between matter, light and perception. A surfer himself, he translates the light of the ocean along the Basque coast into this work. From deep blue and black to red, the palette evokes the changing sea and sky throughout the day. As light glides across the resin reliefs, it reveals a depth that shifts with the viewer’s movement. The resulting sense of motion appears perpetual.
Valentin Guillon
Valentin Guillon (b. 1993, Le Mans) graduated from ENSAD in 2016 and lives and works in Paris. His practice spans studio painting, muralism, exhibition design and site-specific installations. Emerging from research initially rooted in sport, his abstract language draws on recognisable forms—pitch markings and racetrack curves—as well as architecture and nature. Space and composition guide his work, which now also extends to architectural surfaces.
The Work and the Movement
At the crossroads of geometric abstraction and the contemporary landscape, Valentin Guillon composes images in which lines, forms and colours seem to circulate endlessly. A network runs through the work, shifting in intensity at every boundary. Exposed wood meets fields of colour, while contrasts heighten the sensation of speed and guide the eye along these trajectories. The painting does not represent movement: it creates the experience of it, inviting each viewer to imagine their own path.
Maya Hayuk
Maya Hayuk is an internationally celebrated first-generation Ukrainian American artist and activist best known for her massive, saturated, iconic murals seen worldwide.
Hayuk reclaims ornament and craft - long dismissed as decorative - by foregrounding their hidden systems and feminist lineages.
Small studio works serve as laboratories for color and rhythm, while public walls magnify those investigations architecturally.
The Work and the Movement
Conceived as a diptych, Head Light #1 unfolds in an organic symmetry, with lines, colours and patterns appearing to travel like a wave. Its forms evoke trees erupting like fireworks, branching structures or circuits of energy running across the canvas. Drawing on both the raw poetry of street art and the richness of ornamental traditions, Maya Hayuk carries the spirit of her monumental public paintings into this work. Drips, free gestures and vibrant colours create a hypnotic painting in perpetual expansion.
Thomas Hearherwick
Thomas is a visionary designer championing joy, interest and humanity in our cities. Over 30 years he's created soulful, extraordinary districts, landmarks and transport modes worldwide, and now campaigns against the "blandemic" of bland, harmful buildings. His studio, among the world's most inventive, works on 30+ projects in ten countries, including Seoul's Nodeul Island, a Saudi astrotourism centre, and Changi Airport's Terminal 5. Past work includes Tokyo's Azabudai Hills, NYC's Little Island, Google's first campus, Cape Town's Zeitz Museum, and London Olympia's transformation.
The Work and the Movement
With the Spun Chair, Thomas Heatherwick reinvents the very function of a chair. Inspired by the shape of a spinning top, the seat invites users to pivot, rock and spin. It blurs the boundaries between furniture, sculpture and play. Rather than holding the body still, it transforms balance into an experience of constant adjustment.
Caroline Hélain
Visual artist Caroline Hélain lives and works in Brussels. Botany and landscape are her principal sources of inspiration. A close observer of the world around her, she explores the relationships between landscape, material and visual memory. At the intersection of art and experimentation, her practice is based on cutting and shaping fabrics freehand, then assembling them into sensitive compositions in which materials and colours intertwine.
The Work and the Movement
Inspired by botany and landscape, Caroline Hélain creates textile works poised between figuration and abstraction. Cut and assembled freehand, the layered fabrics combine colour, material and stitching to form horizons where light, season and memory converge. Each panel becomes an intimate, vibrant landscape - not a depiction of a place, but an evocation of its sensation through gesture, material and the resonance of colour.
Patrick Jouin
Patrick Jouin is a French designer renowned for his work in product design, interior design and architecture. He founded his studio in 1998 and has collaborated with leading design houses including Ligne Roset, Cassina, Fermob and Kartell. His practice combines rigorous technical precision, accomplished craftsmanship and a keen sensitivity to materials, balancing function and aesthetic refinement in every creation.
The Work and the Movement
Created for the House of Longchamp for Milan Design Week, this collection by Patrick Jouin combines enamelled steel with remarkably fluid forms. Poured by hand, layers of enamel flow freely across each surface, creating unique variations in which mastery of gesture meets chance. Reflections animate the material and transform the perception of colour. Here, movement emerges both from the making process and from the viewer’s gaze.
Yunsoo Kim
Yunsoo Kim (born in 1975) collects human footprints and transforms them into sculptures: cut layer by layer from transparent vinyl, they accumulate into forms evoking waves, wind and clouds. The stacking reveals a deep, abyssal blue, a shade also found in her drawings. This “ultramarine,” literally “beyond the sea,” symbolizes the inaccessible and the far shore, a metaphor for lives rooted in nature. A graduate of Chung-Ang University, she received the 22nd WooMin Art Award in 2024.
The Work and the Movement
Made by layering thin sheets of transparent vinyl cut from the contours of footprints, Kim Yunsoo’s Waves sculptures seem to suspend the motion of water in a delicate balance. By transforming the trace of a human passage into a wave, the artist blurs the boundary between nature and presence. Presented as a pair, they invite silent contemplation, with movement becoming the subtle link between humankind and landscape.
Soo Kyoung Lee
Soo Kyoung Lee develops a spontaneous form of abstract painting in which forms are never planned in advance but emerge through successive layers of acrylic. For the artist, “thinking and acting are simultaneous”: every gesture becomes a discovery, giving rise to vibrant, fluid and organic masses. Against an often monochrome ground, these autonomous forms unfold freely, while the background creates depth and envelops the colour like a cocoon. Her painting is the outcome of a series of improvised, intuitive gestures.
The Work and the Movement
With Munpei, Soo Kyoung Lee reinterprets an ancient Korean tradition: munpei, wooden plaques placed at the entrance to homes to identify their occupants. She retains the principle while replacing writing with abstract, colourful forms. Presented as a series, the sculptures create a visual score in which each element responds to the others. The eye moves freely from one form to the next, revealing movement through rhythms, variations and correspondences.
Sarah Morris
Sarah Morris is a British-American artist and filmmaker based in New York. Her work explores cities, architecture and systems of power through colourful abstract compositions. Renowned for translating urban energy into precise, graphic paintings, she has developed a visual language in which geometry reflects contemporary social and political structures.
The Work and the Movement
In Telebrás [Rio], Sarah Morris references Brazil’s former public telecommunications operator. Within her wider body of work devoted to Rio, the painting can be read as an abstract map of urban flows. Geometric lines, curves and fields of colour compose a city in constant motion, where circulation, rhythm and architecture interact. The glossy surface heightens this dynamic, inviting the eye to follow an ever-changing visual cadence.
Yuko Nishikawa
Yuko Nishikawa, born in 1976, is a Japanese artist based in Brooklyn, known for her dreamlike works with organic forms. Raised in Chigasaki, a seaside city south of Tokyo, she initially pursued interior design and industrial design and studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York before discovering ceramics, a medium she adopted to develop a distinctive sculptural language characterized by fluidity and poetic form.
The Work and the Movement
Inspired by the cloud forest of Mindo, Ecuador, Yuko Nishikawa creates an airy landscape in which every element seems to float between earth and sky. Made from paper pulp and wire, the mobile responds to the slightest breath of air, continually transforming its composition. The forms sway slowly, creating a delicate balance between void and matter. Here, movement never asserts itself: it emerges through lightness, inviting the viewer to contemplate nature in a constant state of renewal.
Deborah Ory & Ken Browar
Deborah Ory & Ken Browar, a Brooklyn-based artist couple, founded NYC Dance Project to celebrate the world of dance. A fashion photographer, Ken discovered his passion in Paris through the Paris Opera Ballet; a dancer since childhood, Deborah turned to photography after an injury. Published in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue Italia, they have produced three books, including The Art of Movement (2016) and Martha Graham Dance Company, 100 Years (2026). Their work has been exhibited at Holden Luntz Gallery, the Hunter Museum, Lanoue Gallery and, most recently, Galerie Dior in Paris.
The Work and the Movement
Created as part of NYC Dance Project, this photograph portrays Charlotte Landreau, then a soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company, a pioneering force in modern dance. By suspending the body at the height of its momentum, Deborah Ory & Ken Browar and make the invisible visible, revealing the grace of movement. The dress, unfurling through space, extends the gesture and gives rise to a sculptural form.
Felipe Pantone
Felipe Pantone (b. 1986, Buenos Aires) is an Argentinian-Spanish artist based in Valencia, Spain, whose work explores movement, light, color, transformation, and the digital age. Influenced by kinetic art and artists such as Carlos Cruz-Diez and Victor Vasarely, he fuses analog and digital aesthetics into vibrant geometric paintings, murals, sculptures, and installations that create optical movement, reflecting our evolving relationship with technology and perception.
The Work and the Movement
In Optichromie Structural Instability 1, Felipe Pantone constructs an image in constant flux. Grids, gradients, pixelated effects and spectral colours create an optical illusion that unsettles the eye. Depending on the viewpoint, volumes reconfigure and lines appear to vibrate. An heir to both graffiti and kinetic art, Pantone turns speed and instability into a visual experience.
Simone Pheulpin
For more than 50 years, Simone Pheulpin has created textile sculptures and panels inspired by but never imitating, rock fissures, cracked earth and other natural forms. Without preparatory drawings, she folds unbleached cotton and secures it with concealed pins, inventing a singular technique poised between trompe-l’œil and the organic. First recognised at the 1987 Lausanne Biennale, she has received the Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris and the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize. Her work is held in major international collections.
The Work and the Movement
Using simple strips of raw cotton held in place by thousands of pins, Simone Pheulpin shapes a material that appears animated from within. Without glue or stitching, the folds accumulate and unfold, evoking in turn a fossil, a geological formation or organic growth. Between the slowness of natural phenomena and the precision of gesture, Éclipse VI reveals an almost imperceptible movement: that of time shaping matter.
Damien Poulain
Damien Poulain works across design, architecture and built or natural environments. Drawing on Shinto, primal and heraldic symbolism as well as contemporary digital culture, he develops a universal visual language: textiles, paintings, sculptures and temporary structures become glyphic systems of geometry and colour that examine our relationship with others and the mystery of existence. He has exhibited at Villa Noailles, Fondation Boghossian and 21_21 Design Sight in Tokyo. Based in Paris, he works internationally.
The Work and the Movement
With Bric à Bric, Damien Poulain turns visitors into creators. Open to all, this immersive installation invites participants to build, move, stack and dismantle colourful foam modules. The work evolves through gestures and exchanges, revealing an architecture in constant transformation. True to his graphic universe of simple forms and bold, complementary colours, the artist celebrates play, collective creativity and the joy of inventing together.
Sébastien Preschoux
For more than 20 years, Sébastien Preschoux (b. 1974), who lives and works in Paris, has explored the line and the optical effects produced by its interlacing. His work takes two forms: a two-dimensional practice using paint to develop rich, complex colour, and a three-dimensional practice based on thread installations that immerse viewers in kinetic movement and the pleasure of optical play.
The Work and the Movement
In Sébastien Preschoux’s work, movement arises as much from the artwork as from the person looking at it. Playing with optical illusions, he composes a network of lines in which forms appear, disappear and reconfigure as the viewer moves. Each viewpoint reveals a new arrangement, turning perception into a playful experience of perpetual motion. Flora takes its title from the last person the artist saw before completing the work.
Pierre Renart
Pierre Renart is a French designer and cabinetmaker trained at École Boulle. Known for his sculptural furniture, he combines traditional woodworking techniques with modern technology. His work explores curves and movement, giving wood a light, flexible and almost living quality. His pieces have entered the collections of major institutions, including the Mobilier national, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Palais des Rois de Sardaigne in Nice.
The Work and the Movement
Created for Milan Design Week as part of a collaboration with the House of Longchamp, the Wave Cuir bench embodies Pierre Renart’s technical mastery and formal research. By combining American walnut with calfskin leather, the designer transforms rigid materials into a remarkably fluid curve. Its lines seem to unfold without interruption, evoking the motion of a suspended wave. Bringing together innovation, craftsmanship and elegance, the piece makes movement its very structure.
Xavier Veilhan
Xavier Veilhan (b. 1963, Lyon) is a French artist based in Paris. A major figure in contemporary art, he has developed a multidisciplinary practice encompassing sculpture, installation, film and performance since the late 1980s. Through refined forms and innovative technologies, he examines perception, space and movement. Projects including Veilhan Versailles (2009) and Studio Venezia at the 2017 Venice Biennale have earned him international recognition.
The Work and the Movement
Suspended beneath the glass roof, Mobile No. 3 finds an architecture that fully reveals Xavier Veilhan’s approach. For the artist, mobiles evoke the continuity of an elusive present: they materialise moving air and the ceaseless cycles of time. Height, natural light and the slightest currents of air animate the sculpture, whose elements continually reconfigure their relationships. Space itself becomes one of the work’s materials.
Fabienne Verdier
Fabienne Verdier (b. 1962, Paris) maps the visible and invisible energies that shape landscapes. Trained in China in the 1980s by masters of traditional painting, she developed an original pictorial language using pendulum brushes and gravity-based tools to explore gravity, vibration and waves. Her works are held in major public collections, from the Centre Pompidou to the Kunsthaus Zürich, and she has collaborated with Jean Nouvel and Alain Berthoz. In 2025, she exhibited at the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire and the Centre Pompidou-Metz.
The Work and the Movement
In Marche bleue, Fabienne Verdier makes gesture the very subject of painting. Created with a monumental suspended brush, the work captures the energy of a single movement in which body, breath and matter become one. Spanning four panels, the line crosses the space like calligraphy held in suspension. Between control and spontaneity, the painting preserves the memory of an impulse transformed into a trace.
Mengzhi Zheng
Mengzhi Zheng (b. 1983, Ruian, China) is a visual artist who lives and works in Paris. Spanning sculpture, installation, drawing and architecture, his practice uses found materials as three-dimensional drawings. His visions of space and architectural dreams—poised between function and utopia—emerge from protocols shaped by context, tools and working conditions. Created both in the studio and in public space, his works explore dwelling, transformation and our relationship with the environment.
The Work and the Movement
With Esquisse aux vents No. 8, Mengzhi creates a lightweight sculpture in which rattan, paper and wood find a delicate balance. Curves, lines and coloured surfaces come together in an airy composition. Inspired by the movement of air, the work translates invisible forces into space. Mengzhi explores this research at different scales, with some works developed into monumental forms. Here, the wind becomes the line that draws space.
Mathieu Forget & Victoria Dauberville
Mathieu Forget and Victoria Dauberville form a French artistic duo exploring the encounter between classical dance and modernity. Trained at the Paris Opera Ballet School and then at the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMD), Victoria Dauberville danced with several companies before founding her own, blending classical ballet with hip-hop and contemporary dance. Alongside her, Mathieu Forget, dancer, acrobat and photographer nicknamed "the flying man" for his signature levitation work, captures and stages their shared performances, playing on the contrast between classical rigour and resolutely modern gestures.
Marie-Agnès Gillot
Étoile dancer of the Paris Opera Ballet and choreographer, Marie-Agnès Gillot has marked the French dance scene through her interpretation of major classical roles and her commitment to contemporary choreographers. She entered the Paris Opera dance school at age 9, joined the Ballet at 15, and was named Étoile in 2004 following Signes by Carolyn Carlson. She has worked with Béjart, Bausch, Forsythe, Preljocaj and Ek, and has developed her own choreographic work, notably Sous Apparence in 2012. Since her farewell to the Opera in 2018, she has continued her journey between creation, performance and teaching.
Carmel Loanga
Originally from Gabon, Carmel Loanga trained in dance through Popping before becoming a Hip-Hop dancer and choreographer. In 2014, she joined the company "Swaggers" under Marion Motin, then created the group "Sales Mômes" with Karim KH. She later founded Cie Carmel Loanga, producing The Dress, L'ivresse des Lucioles and 11Kif. Trained in film, she builds her staging like a screenplay, highlighting the emotions and connection between dancers. Her artistic direction, grounded in continuous movement and "Less Is More," now inspires students at LAX Studio.
Mattias Mimoun
Mattias Mimoun began playing piano at the age of six, developing an instinctive approach to the instrument early on. As a teenager, he discovered jazz, improvisation, rhythmic freedom and the emotional power of harmony, laying the foundations of his signature style: building bridges between musical cultures. During his higher education, he immersed himself in DJ culture and electronic music. From this dual identity as classical pianist and DJ emerged his signature concept, the piano DJ set, a hybrid and virtuosic performance that turns the piano into acoustic turntables.
Laura Nala
Laura Nala is a dancer, choreographer, movement director and teacher, a pivotal figure in French hip-hop and a multiple-time freestyle champion. In 2016, she co-founded the company Mazelfreten with Brandon Masele, forging a distinctive choreographic language showcased on international stages, including the "Darkness" segment of the Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony, and the Half-Time Show of the FIFA World Cup 2026 alongside Madonna. Committed to passing on her craft, she launched "À la manière de" in 2018 and now leads INTRO – La danse en vrai, a professional development program for women in urban dance.
