TAKEUCHI is an artist who creates visual narratives that oscillate between the intimate and the abstract, weaving together memory and composition. His artistic approach magnifies ordinary moments, transforming them into layered compositions that transcend their everyday origins, akin to a close-up, slow-motion lens. These reimagined actions, stripped of their original context and distilled to their essence on canvas, evoke a sense of nearness, like a whispered secret. After three years of preparation post-high school, TAKEUCHI began his full-fledged art career following his 2022 entrance exams. He produces two-dimensional works on themes inspired by his origins and sexuality, employing both oil paintings and, more recently, pencil and watercolor in his expanding body of work.

Béchir Boussandel, born in 1984 in Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, France, is an artist who divides his time between Paris and Tunis. A graduate of the Art College of Dunkerque, he explores the complexities of perspective in his painting, often employing a bird's-eye view on canvases that evoke both earthly and astral qualities. His works feature isolated elements that engage in dialogue without direct contact, acting as both personal reminiscences and symbolic transpositions. Constantly balancing figuration and abstraction, Boussandel's art consistently questions the movement of individuals across unstable territories, creating a continuous tension within his unique visual language.
