EXHIBITION
“Splash” is an ambitious exhibition dedicated to the provocative and subversive work of Gérard Rancinan, a choice I made to share a singular vision of contemporary art. For decades, Rancinan has examined the upheavals of our society, the major issues of our time, and the struggles of his contemporaries through his sharp, spectacular eye. His striking works showcase the contrasts between light and shadow, revealing both the flaws and strengths of humanity. He explores the profound duality of Man – this ordinary being, filled with dreams and contradictions, always searching for meaning. His powerful, intense photographs confront our gaze, questioning our values and aspirations. They bear witness to a society in perpetual change, with each image embodying a mirror reflecting our hopes, anxieties, and shared humanity.

Arnaud Baumann, French portrait photographer and videographer, was born in 1953 and left an indelible mark on the world of photography. His career began alongside photographer Xavier Lambours, with whom he had the opportunity to capture unique and intimate moments by photographing the behind the scenes, hysterics and editorial conferences of Hara Kiri and Charlie Hebdo magazines. This experience marked the start of a promising career.
Over the years, Baumann has been published in renowned magazines such as Hara Kiri, Libération, Le Nouvel Observateur, Télérama, VSD, Paris Match and Géo, thus demonstrating his talent and versatility as a photographer.
During one of the key periods of his career, from 1978 to 1983, Baumann immortalized the evenings at Fabrice Emaer's "Palace". Through his photographs, he captures the very essence of these extravagant evenings, immersing us in the electric and liberated atmosphere of a bygone era.
Baumann devotes a large part of his career to portraiture, becoming a master in the art of revealing the essence of well-known personalities and cultural actors. His portraits are imbued with depth and sensitivity, to the point of capturing the soul of his subjects.
Throughout his career, Baumann reinvented his style while remaining faithful to what makes him a generational photographer. His process rethinks the links between the structure of his vision and the reality that surrounds it. His photographs are recognizable by their precise framing, precise colors and always mastered compositions.
Born in Paris to a German family, Clara Diebler delved into the magical world of film photography from a young age. Her curious and explorative spirit led her to overlay two negatives, revealing a rich and enigmatic parallel universe. Since this discovery, Clara has been weaving her own visual world, taking us on a journey where every element seems interconnected by invisible threads of poetry and mystery.
With a unique sensitivity, Clara Diebler skillfully blends nudes, portraits, architectural structures, and floral patterns, creating a striking visual alchemy. Each photograph becomes a fusion of two visions: that of the model and that of the photographer, of those who see and those who feel. Through her lens, she captures and elevates this intrinsic duality, this romantic and universal femininity that lies within each of us.
Her work is a delicate dance between feminine essence and universality, while maintaining a distinct singularity marked by an original vision. Anachronistic and melancholic, raw and splendid, Clara Diebler's aesthetic is an invitation to view the world in a new light, to discover the hidden beauty in the duality of human existence.
Each of Clara's photographs is a window into a waking dream, where the past and present intertwine, where softness meets brutality, and where melancholy transforms into magnificence. Through her gaze, she offers us an intimate and universal perspective, reminding us that beauty lies in the contrasts and secret harmonies of the world.
Mathilde Oscar was born in Paris in 1980, and lives and works in Cannes.
She is a multifaceted artist whose artistic evolution is as fascinating as it is diverse. Her artistic journey is an odyssey that fuses a passion for painting, in-depth study of art history, graphic design and photography, ultimately giving birth to a singular visual language.
In the beginning, Mathilde Oscar explored the intricacies of painting, a medium that captured her heart and mind. This period was an enriching exploration of creativity, shaping her artistic perception. Art history became her ally, offering her a deep understanding of the classic masters of past centuries.
Over the years, Mathilde broadened her creative horizon to immerse herself in the world of graphic design. This immersion was a transformative period in which she honed her mastery of shapes, colors and visual compositions. However, it was only the prelude to a more significant metamorphosis.
In 2013, self-taught, she chose photography as a means of expression, offering a new canvas for her pictorial ideas, deeply rooted in artistic movements from the
Renaissance to Neo-Classicism.
In her photographs, Mathilde Oscar succeeds in capturing a striking atmosphere, giving her works an almost quasi-pictorial quality to her work. Her creative process frequently involves the meticulous fabrication of sets, costumes and props, although some of her inspirations can consist of digital elements that harmonize with her photographic composition.
What really sets Mathilde apart is her talent for interweaving the codes of classical painting with contemporary photography and pop culture. Her portraits are often anachronistic and offbeat conventions that seem suspended in an elusive space-time, while at the same time abounding in subtle references to art history.
Her artistic universe is one of great variety: sometimes romantic, sometimes imbued with surrealismmarked by a subtle dash of humor. The characters she captures become timeless icons, while her female portraits take on a Madonna-like aura, and her male figures (which she takes pleasure in reinventing as feminine) seem to revisit Christ-like archetypes.
In short, Mathilde Oscar is an artist who transcends artistic boundaries, fusing past and present painting and photography, to create a captivating visual world.
