ARTISTE PEINTRE EN PLEINE
EXPANSION QUI ÉVOLUE DANS
L’UNIVERS DU STREET ART.
ONEMIZER
Onemizer
“Classic Street Dance”
He brings the color into
the Streets
Visiting Paris and its surroundings acted like a revelation
for young Onemizer. Little by little did he slip into
the underground graffiti scene, practicing his art on
abandoned warehouses and railway tracks. After high
school, he entered a design school but quickly decided
to go his own way. Pushed by his close friends, Onemizer
started working on canvases and other “inside” media,
to be able to show his world to a larger public. The
success of his first exhibitions quickly led him to widen
his audience and his work is now regularly exhibited in
Singapore, Dubai, the UK or in France.
Street Artist
A funny fact: he participated
in 2014 in the realization of the
world’s largest Street Art canvas
in Dubai, together with 149 other
artists. Inspired by Modern masters
such as Basquiat and Warhol,
Onemizer sources his inspiration in
the daily simple life, in people who
made their market in their times.

“Reflection”
Born in Boston, David Kracov studied at the prestigious Rhode Island School
of Design and began his career in animation with the Brad Pitt feature, Cool
World. David went on to work with Disney Animation, Don Bluth Animation,
Rich Animation, as well as several other studios, working on such features as
The Lion King, Aladdin, etc.
Kracov’s vibrant color palette shows up again in his unique steel wall sculptures.
Each in a limited edition of only 55 works that begin with hundreds of small
sketches that are then hand-cut from a single sheet of steel and then finished
with detailed painting in a high-grade, water-based, acrylic polymer paint.
Each edition is finished individually so that no two are alike. The meticulous
steel work along with his scrutinizing attention to detail allow these sculptures
to take on a life
“Bringing Color To Life”
AS A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR
LIVES ON 9/11, KRACOV CREATED THE
METAL WALL SCULPTURE, “REFLECTIONS”,
WHICH DEPICTS THE NEW YORK SKYLINE,
WITH HIS SIGNATURE BUTTERFLIES
SOARING TOWARDS THE SKY, WHERE THE
TOWERS ONCE STOOD.
During his time as an illustrator, David began to experiment with different types of clay, and
started sculpting the characters from those films he animated. Ultimately, after his work was
discovered at a local art exhibition, David was commissioned to create a limited edition chess set
for the Warner Bros. Studio Stores. Not long after that David was contacted by Disney Studios
to create sculptures of individual characters as well as chess sets for their stores, galleries, theme
parks and catalog.

Grace
.
Beauty
.
Latent fire.
The kind of qualities that
pin-ups have been exalting
for over a hundred years...
But, at the same time, the
hidden, the inaccessible …
CECILE PLAISANCE
WHY UNDRESSING BARBIES?
PERHAPS YOU GAVE IT TO YOUR DAUGHTER. MAYBE IT
ENDED UP IN THE LOFT. I AM TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT
THE FAMOUS BARBIE DOLL! IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING,
SHE IS OUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD DOLL. SHE IS ALSO
THE FAVOURITE OF CÉCILE PLAISANCE, WHO GIVES
HER THE LEADING ROLE IN HER SPLENDID CREATIONS.
Beyond the myth of woman as object, I wanted to
uncloth the idol of our childhood, as a kind of gesture
of support for women around the world whose rights are
not respected. Like bare-breasted women, now liberated,
defending their rights, their desires, their conquered
freedom. My photos do not show the newspaper read by
busy women still wearing their sexy underwear, the black
dress worn by reserved women, the nun’s outfit, the burka
worn by veiled women … But, we should be careful, one
woman can hide another! Beyond cultures, clothes and
life paths, women aspire to live their multiple lives fully
and intensely. No Taliban is going to stop this dynamic …
My favorit is “The nun” because she
incarnates transgression and grace.

Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955. He studied at the Maryland
Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
He received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1976. Koons lives
and works in New York City.
Since his first solo exhibition in 1980, Koons’s work has been shown in major galleries
and institutions throughout the world. His Celebration sculptures were the subject
of exhibitions on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and at
the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
Château de Versailles opened its doors to a living artist for the first time with
Jeff Koons: Versailles, where a selection of his work were presented within the
Grand Apartments. The Whitney Museum of American Art presented the most
comprehensive survey of Koons’s career to date in 2014, Jeff Koons: A Retrospective
(June 27 through October 19, 2014). This exhibition went on tour and was on view
at the Pompidou Centre Paris (November 26, 2014 through April 27, 2015), and will
travel on to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (June 9 through September 27, 2015)
“FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS CONTROVERSIAL CAREER, KOONS
OVERTURNED THE TRADITIONAL NOTION OF ART INSIDE AND
OUT. FOCUSING ON BANAL OBJECTS AS MODELS, HE QUESTIONED
STANDARDS OF NORMATIVE VALUES IN ART, AND, INSTEAD,
EMBRACED THE VULNERABILITIES OF AESTHETIC HIERARCHIES AND
TASTE SYSTEMS.” SAMITU JALBUENA

Surely, saying that it may represent an extraordinary hybrid form of artistic
expression would be taking the easy way out. However, if we were to express
the relatively stable stances which could form an explanation of street art,
they would at least include the following:
1. Street art incorporates a strong devotion to social activism (although this is
not always the case, it seems that this was an attribute of artwork that survived
the test of time),
2. Street art represents a phenomenon that is, through self-transformation,
constantly transforming the reality of contemporary art and finally,
3. Street art, as a particular practice, has a role in shaping and constructing
new cultural discourses.
