Discover the artists of the Nouvel ART showroom
LOUVEL Myriam
Myriam Louvel Paoli is a somewhat unusual sculptor: she sculpts wire. Braiding and shaping different types of metal wire, sometimes on their own, sometimes around objects, she creates works imbued with lightness and movement in a unique style. Immersing oneself in her work invites an endless, elusive sense of vertigo, suggested by her creations.
HELLEUX Mikael
Mickael Helleux roams his native Brittany with poetry and humour, capturing life along the water, beneath the trees, and during his travels. Signed black-and-white film photographs, in a range of small and large formats. He produces the prints and framing himself.
MAÏLO
A graduate in interior architecture, Maïlo broadened her artistic horizons through photography. Her travels inspired her to create a visual notebook, and her discovery of photomontage unleashed her creativity. She is now a photographer-creator, blending photojournalism with the visual arts.
ANDERSEN Liselotte
Liselotte Andersen, a French-Danish artist born in 1968, has lived in Provence since 2002 after living in various countries. She worked at UNESCO on issues relating to cultural diversity and the preservation of natural heritage, which influences her artistic creations. Passionate about sculpture since childhood, she explores human interactions through her bronze works, experimenting with the infinite combinations offered by clay, alloys, pigments and colours, playing with the rhythm of clean lines and the vibration of relief.
Liselotte Andersen gives full space to the flow of energy and curves, letting herself be carried by the unconscious and the imagination. Her creative process is spontaneous, a wonderful path towards oneself and towards others. Her current inspiration explores particular connections, psychology, the challenge of the coexistence of our cultural diversities, respect for others, the protection and flourishing of childhood, the appreciation of what life offers us and of each passing moment… all values that guide this artist and that find expression in her visual creations.
Godda
Godda began by writing for young audiences, but ultimately found her artistic expression in painting, particularly after a painting experience with her eldest daughter. She now works with both acrylic paint and soft pastels, favouring an intuitive approach that gives her great freedom and spontaneity in her creative process. She lets herself be guided by the interplay of colours and by the unknown that emerges as her work progresses.
BADINIER Sabine
Sabine Badinier, passionate about sculpture from a young age, moved from ceramics to bronze. She also took part in setting up a ceramicists' studio in Cairo. She creates works from old toys and objects, establishing her studio and gallery in the Luberon after living in Senegal and Réunion.
TALON Olivier
Olivier Talon, a French artist born in 1972, is recognised for his "great technical talent" by the expert J-A Akoun. He creates multifaceted paintings, drawing inspiration from art history and sometimes from controversial social themes. In 2017 he was awarded at the "Art Résilience" International Salon, and his work features in private collections in Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia.
Olivier Talon gradually orients his artistic practice towards the representation of psychological states. From 2023, in a more contemporary approach, he fragments his works to better question the notion of " connection". In 2024, he intensifies this approach through ekphrasis, whose very purpose is to bring together two art forms. His works then progressively echo novels, films and poetry. Olivier Talon masters both the chiaroscuro technique and the pictorial practice of representing the body, portraits and emotions in colour, fragmented landscapes from which a very particular atmosphere and light emerge.
FLORIANDE CHEREL
Floriande Chérel, artist and architect, studied at the Marseille-Luminy School of Architecture (ENSAM) and at the Saint-Luc Higher School of Arts in Liège, Belgium. Her academic background shaped her passion for the interplay of space and the connections between landscape and self-perception. After winning the Grand Prix d'Architecture of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1999, she founded the architecture firm Abaque. However, in 2006 she chose to devote herself fully to her artistic career, seeking to create connections between different art forms.
ISABEAU CHIRAT
Isabeau Chirat draws her inspiration from a creative childhood, in which she learned sewing from her mother and metalwork from her father. Her art consists of breathing new life into neglected objects and transforming forgotten materials into works of art. Interior architecture was her first encounter with space; her training continued in theatre scenography.
Her artistic work explores the contrasts between fullness and emptiness, the precious and the worthless, seeking to create a harmonious balance between these elements. Everything happens in the cast shadow revealed by her sculptures; it is not the wire itself that is the subject of her work, but rather the void it reveals and organises. From inspiration to realisation, from the chosen materials to her relationship with space, Isabeau Chirat's sculptures take shape in a constant search for balance.
PARASKEVA Marc
Trained as a photographer, the artist uses traditional film techniques and the art of colour. He believes photography captures fleeting moments in time and favours the narration of reality. He adds an imaginative dimension by colourising prints with watercolour ink and using superimposition techniques. His artistic approach is a form of poetic documentary.
BROUSSE Nicole
Nicole Brousse, a sculptor, creates timeless works blending the classical and the modern, while pursuing an inner quest to know herself better. She discovers that her artistic and personal explorations are interconnected, seeking to recover the essence of life through her art.
GRIMON Gilles
Gilles Grimon, born in Paris and trained in the Decorative Arts, worked as an illustrator for the press, advertising and publishing for twenty-five years, working with many prestigious names such as Le Nouvel Observateur, Marie-Claire and Hachette. Since 2005 he has devoted himself entirely to painting and currently lives in Provence after spells in London and Milan.
Olivier J. Leda-Weiss
Olivier J. Leda-Weiss is a visual artist, musician and graphic designer born in the early 1980s. As a teenager, he left France alone for Belgium, where he would later study visual communication at the Saint-Luc School of Arts. It was in this institution that he refined his creative sense while launching into graphic design. He also founded his own recording studio in Brussels to bring his many musical projects to life.
Since 2022 he has lived in Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence, where he devotes himself mainly to painting. In his artistic practice, Olivier J.LW envisions his works as pictorial ecosystems, delicately positioned on the border between the tangible and the ethereal, the intimate and the enigmatic.
DENIS DE FRANCESCO
Denis De Francesco developed a passion for photography very early on. He had the opportunity to travel the world and collaborated with numerous glamour magazines throughout his internationally recognised career.
Deeply driven by the desire to transcribe his vision of the world, he decided to end his career as a photographer in 2014 to devote himself exclusively to creating contemporary artworks. Art has always been the driving force behind his actions. A self-taught, multifaceted artist, Denis De Francesco invites you into the heart of his world, which reflects a range of striking, sometimes disconcerting compositions, retracing with great sensitivity his journey and his quest for freedom.
JEAN-CHARLES GIL
A dancer and choreographer, Jean-Charles Gil enjoyed an international career working with the greatest names in dance. Now a visual artist, this former dancer of Roland Petit repurposes ballet slippers and pointe shoes to create unique works.
Through the ballet slipper, his base material, a kind of extension of the body, Jean-Charles Gil reproduces his emotions, the shocks of life and his thoughts. His works represent him at his most intimate, bearing witness to passion but also to sacrifice and suffering. As much grace and beauty as strength and rigour, slippers that all carry existence and lived experience.
