Paul Flickinger
Paul Flickinger was one of the twelve painters and sculptors who founded the group Art Research. Paul Flickinger started by painting, before establishing himself in three dimensions. His paintings, sculptures and totems present a very troubling case of dissociation of personality. Paul Flickinger is a complete master of a traditional narrative technique, often found among the surrealists, and painters of the fantastic, who have to make the unreal recognizable. It is imagination and talent in the native state, in the raw.
Jean-Michel Mathieux-Marie
Jean-Michel Mathieux-Marie is devoted exclusively to engraving. His work has become the object of many personal expositions (in France and abroad), and he has done many engravings for collections of great writers like Michel Déon, Federico Garcia Lorca, Julien Gracq or Francis Ponge.
Jim Monson
Jim Monson is from Minneapolis in the United States. He studied copper-plate printmaking with Mauricio Lasansky, a well known Argentine artist. In 1969, with his master of Fine Arts diploma in hand, he leaves for Paris to work with the English artist, S.W.Hayter, whose Paris studio is known since 1927 for revitalizing the art of the print. Jim now works in the woodcut technique. Inspired by the way Picasso used color printing to make his linoleum prints, he reworks his woodblock for the printing of each nuance of colour. His art is represented in collections and galleries around the world. He is one of the rare artists in France to use this colour printing technique for woodcuts.
Catherine Gallimard
Catherine Gallimard paints “because she cannot imagine living without
it”. She prefers to express herself with images - or what she calls “visions” - rather than words. With elements borrowed from nature,
she manages “to create a rhythm”. and already affirms her originality.
