Fabrice Hyber
Fabrice Hyber's work embraces a movement, natural and endless, capable of giving birth to reality and new energy from an association of people, of ideas carried by an unrestrained imagination. Inventor of poetic metamorphoses, anticipating future mutations, the artist cultivates the art of mixing, shifts limits, opens up possibilities. Today, the witnesses are Paris, Osaka, Nantes, Rabat, Marfa, Lisbon, Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow, Hamburg, Ghent, Oslo, Tokyo, and New York.
In 2022 Hyber will have a retrospective at Cartier Foundation, Paris, a permanent public sculpture installed in MARFA, TX and a public installation of thirty one sculptures at Palais Royal, Paris.

Hermann Nitsch
One of the founding members of the Wiener Aktionismus (Viennese Actionism) art movement, Hermann Nitsch, born in Vienna in 1938, is also one of the most prolific members of the group. Hermann Nitsch is particularly interested in expressionism and religious art, following his academic training. Noted as a master of Austrian performance, the continuously active artist presents a total art with sensuality: limitless, Dionysian and demonic. His mastery of many media (plastic arts, theater, music, etc.) expresses his system of values, at once spiritual, philosophical, aesthetic, and social, all taking part in his larger artwork.
Over the course of his career, Nitsch has exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; the Leopold Museum, Vienna; the Albertina Museum, Vienna just to mention a few. Nitsch lives and works at Prinzendorf Castle, Austria.
The artist is now represented by Pace Gallery.
Naomi Safran-Hon
Born in Oxford, England, Naomi Safran-Hon grew up in Haifa, Israel. She received her BA Summa Cum Laude from Brandeis University, 2008, in Studio Art and Art History and an MFA from Yale University School of Art in 2010. Safran-Hon attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2012, Art Omi residency in 2016, and LMCC residency in 2019-2020. She is represented by Slag Gallery, NYC and Galerie RX, Paris.
Naomi Safran-Hon creates work that makes gripping statements about the fragility of human experience, the complicated nature of one's home, and the vicissitudes of collective identities. Safran-Hon's process lingers at the intersection of drawing, photography, sculpture, and painting with a focus on the internal energy of the material, continuously emboldening the viewer to look beyond the surface.
Safran-Hon has two forthcoming solo shows at Galerie RX, Paris and at Bonisson Art Centre, France. Her work will be presented at Les Franciscaines Centre D'Art, France.
