Mark Prent: The most controversial canadian sculptor of his
generation, known worldwide for his hyper-realist nightmarish
sculptures. He portrays with body molding techniques his inner
visions, without altering the dramatic or emotional charge of the
subject.
Eric Braun: Multidisciplinary artist (painting, sculpture, comics,
etching), publisher of the anthology 106U and founder of USINE 106U.
His graphic universe explores different materials with humor and
lucidity.

visual arts focuses on recomposing fragments linked to childhood and
by mass-producing little pink cats.
Mimi Traillette: Cartoonist-photograph and designer, she creates
colorful and entertaining pieces with influences coming from rock &
roll , comics and aquatic depths..
Jean-Michel Cholette: His acrylic paintings are guided by an
inspiration tapping intoPop Surrealism, lowbrow art and fantasy
illustration. His cybernetic creatures and dislocated architectures
take place in an aesthetic combining influences from science-fiction,
ancient religious symbols, litterature and old family portraits.
Away: Founder and drummer for the legendary band Voivod, also painter
ans illustrator, his artwork is distinctive for its fusion between an
apocalyptical vision and a more classical crosshatching technique
Yves Milet-Desfougeres: Well-known french etching artist and painter,
he explores symbolical themes with his ethereal landscapes haunted by
hallucinatory visions. Member of the surrealists in the 60', he built
his monumental carreer and is known of a handful of European
collectors.
Daniel Erban: Brut artist to the core and mathematician, his oversize
ink drawings on red paper are complex and decadent, translating by a
transgressive gestual a dark and shocking universe, not without a
certain humor.
Guy Boutin: Painter and cartoonist, he masters in multicolored raw
representations of his graphic imaginary between comics and graffiti
art.
Stuart Rae: Sculptor and designer of dental jewelery, he masters in
the sharpness of stylised minimal shapes, while taking the challenge
of rendering aesthetic parasite subjects and human remains.
Serge De Cotret: Painter and photographer, his figurative work dwells
its inspiration mainly in religious thematics and in the shadowy
corners of the Eros.

plastician luminous explorations with actualised symbolist icons.
Argonacon: Dynamic visual artist, his silkscreens and drawings
superimpose stylised realistic patterns with symbolic compositions in
a minimal and refreshing way.

contraste between textured organic papers and his sensual
semi-funerary numeric momifications.

and creates paintings, silkscreen and textiles in the tradition of
pop-art.
Haemi Kim : Classically trained korean painter, she shows a skillfull
master of technique through a symbolist oniric vision.
Nicolas Plamondon: Young illustrator and cartoonist, he masters in
macabre humor with a remarquable finesse. His imagery invocates death
and childhood.
Andre Demers: Painter, he persues an artistic direction since ten
years. Using strictly acrylic paint, he proposes a personal
iconography full of cynism. He is influences by several artistic
currents, although his work is caracteristic of Pop-Art as well as
Op-Art.
Cannibal Amical: Painter, the inside and outside of the human body
come to light like many broken mirrors in her sentimentally extremist
artwork. Blue-skinned girls are submitted to infamous tortures in a
cardboard box universe where inner pain is always very picturesque
Jerome Bertrand: Illustrator , painter and sculptor craving for
research on human psyche, contemplatig an oniric future vowed to
excess.
Chloe Beaulac: Painter and silkscreen artist, her vivifying artwork
explores intricate compositions through patterns inspired from pop
iconography.

are composed of fragments from the subconscious, translating through a
great richness of textures the interior essence.
Heather Kim: Young korean artist, her artistic vision explores through
freehand line drawings an introspective poetic mindscape.
Maxlks : Painter and graffiti artist ,his colorful and chaotic
compositions depict urban alienation throufh a constant research of
new plastic forms.

installations in motion have brought him international acclaim. The
justness of his commentary as well as the absurdities of reality are
depicted with a lot of humor.

machine needle. Her ceramic miniature figures are true caricatures.
Her creative universe is playful, humoristic, and reaches back to the
world of childhood. She collaborates with Florent Veilleux who
sometimes builds her animated bases.
