They are Syrian, Turkish, American, Iranian, French… And they are among the most famous artists in the contemporary scene. A meeting with the figures of the non-conformist generation, whose works bear the wounds and dreams of the generation.
Around the world, a new generation of artists are embracing classical (brush), traditional (loom) and even digital (social media) tools to express themselves and face the art market. These six do so without guile, preferring figuration to abstraction. But whatever their backgrounds, these thirtysomethings are most often inspired by their family history. Although some have lived through war or belong to marginalized communities, all manage to give their work, which is intimate, a universal dimension. They accumulate awards (Antoine-Marie Prize for Pauline Guerrier, Emerige Scholarship for Dora Geridi, Jean-Francois-Prat Prize for Miriam Haddad…), interest gallery owners and panic collectors. Because in the constant stream of images invading our daily life, these young creators stand out for the maturity of their practice and their unique universe.
