Joshua Sucré Zimmerman is one of those artists who return to the studio with a renewed sense of urgency. After facing illness, he approaches painting with a clear intention: to give form to resilience—without dramatization, without pathos. His works are calm at first glance, almost serene. But as the viewer moves closer, details surface: folds, objects, micro-distortions, flickers of tension that shift the entire reading of the scene. Zimmerman paints that fragile zone between appearance and revelation. His images are invitations to look again, to look better—and to listen to what remains unspoken.
An artwork where every detail matters
His drawings unfold like mental landscapes, made of stories that intertwine without ever declaring themselves openly. This constant back-and-forth between overview and close inspection is his signature. Nothing is anecdotal. Every object finds its place, every trace plays a role in the architecture of meaning. This approach earned him the ART MAG Prize in Vittel, where the jury praised the precision and emotional depth of his work.
A universe that invites us to slow down
With Joshua Sucré Zimmerman, time stretches. The density of each drawing encourages contemplation. The viewer is not confronted but welcomed—invited to wander, to decipher, to inhabit the image. His artistic commitment, strengthened by the trials he has faced, is ultimately an ode to attention and interiority.
A world where fragility becomes strength. Where silence becomes narrative.
An instinctive universe to discover in the print edition of ART MAG
Yves-Marie Yvin’s rise is one of the most singular on today’s French contemporary art scene. A self-taught painter, he began creating at the age of 55, with no formal training and no academic background—guided solely by an inner impulse. Within just a few years, his works have travelled to Paris, London and New York, attracting collectors, galleries and contemporary art enthusiasts drawn to their chromatic power and deeply intuitive dimension.
In the new print edition of ART MAG, his work reveals an intensity impossible to perceive on a screen: texture, relief, pigment layers, details and micro-motifs come to life in large format.
Dolce Vita – acrylic on canvas – May 2024
A figurative abstraction shaped by the unconscious
Yvin’s style sits at the frontier between abstraction and figuration. His canvases suggest tulips, trees, silhouettes—yet always as fleeting apparitions, visions in motion. This figurative abstraction, now his signature, opens up a space where viewers project their own emotions, memories and inner landscapes.
The article published in the print edition offers a precise analysis of his recurring motifs, chromatic overlays and hidden symbols—elements that vanish almost entirely in digital formats.
Love in the Shadow of the Camellias
Self-hypnosis, instinct and creation: a rare artistic process
Yvin’s approach is as intriguing as it is captivating. Before painting, the artist enters a state of release close to self-hypnosis, allowing colours, shapes and subjects to emerge without conscious intent.
“I do not choose the themes,” he says. “They are the ones that come to me.”
This process, explored in detail in the print issue of ART MAG, gives his work a dreamlike, intuitive quality rarely seen in today’s contemporary painting.
Rue Deserte
A visual identity rooted in the Breton landscape
Born into a family of Breton farmers, Yvin anchors his work in an imagery deeply connected to nature: earth, trees, sea, shifting light. This sensory memory permeates his canvases, infusing them with a distinctive, almost telluric energy—far removed from the polished or minimalist tendencies of contemporary art.
His recent exhibitions — Place des Vosges, Galerie Joseph-Durand, Art Expo New York — have confirmed his position as an emerging artist to watch.
The Victoria & Albert Museum in London presents Design and Disability from 7 June 2025 to 15 February 2026, a groundbreaking exhibition that places disability, accessibility and inclusive design at the centre of contemporary creation. Featuring 170 objects spanning fashion, design, architecture, photography and technology, the V&A showcases the creativity of Disabled, Deaf and neurodivergent artists and designers from 1940 to today.
Curated by Natalie Kane, the exhibition offers an immersive experience where visitors can see, hear, touch and feel. Accessibility, inclusion and design justice guide every step of the exhibition.
The opening section explores design as a tool for visibility and self-expression. Works by Sky Cubacub (Rebirth Garments) and Maya Scarlette transform fashion into political statement. Photographs by Marvel Harris celebrate identity, transition and self-affirmation. Influential zines such as Able Zine and Dysfluent Magazine bring graphic power to stuttering, fragility and underrepresented voices, reinforcing the rise of disability culture in contemporary design.

Tools and Innovation : Hacking, Inventing, Empowering
This section highlights how assistive technologies reshape autonomy. The Touchstream keyboard by Wayne Westerman—a precursor to Apple’s touch technology—Cindy Garni’s DIY prosthetics, and Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller illustrate how design created by and for disabled people drives global innovation. The iconic Jaipur Foot, a low-cost prosthetic used by millions worldwide, stands as a symbol of accessible design and humanitarian engineering.

Living and Accessibility : Creating a World for Everyone
The final space questions how we inhabit the world. From the Anti-Stairs Club, campaigning against exclusionary architecture, to Wendy Jacob’s Squeeze Chaise Longue, created with autistic scientist Temple Grandin, design becomes a form of care, comfort and resistance. The exhibition ends with a sensory decompression zone, dedicated to rest and emotional regulation—an exceptional museum innovation and a powerful statement about accessibility.
More Than an Exhibition : A Manifesto for an Inclusive Future
Design and Disability is more than a museum exhibition—it is a manifesto for inclusive design and a call to rethink the role of accessibility in society. Each object demonstrates the creative intelligence of lived experience, the beauty of adaptation, and the power of design to transform everyday life. The V&A shows that reimagining design is already shaping a fairer and more accessible future.

From July 5 to January 18, 2026, the Mougins Center for Photography presents a major retrospective dedicated to Kwame Brathwaite, a seminal figure of the Black is Beautiful movement. Photographer, activist, and visionary, Brathwaite redefined Black beauty and identity through images that have become icons of African-American pride.
In 1960s Harlem, Kwame Brathwaite turned photography into a powerful act of emancipation. Inspired by Marcus Garvey’s pan-African philosophy, he founded the AJASS (African Jazz-Art Society & Studios) collective with his brother Elombe.
Around them, a movement emerged: the Grandassa Models — young women proudly embracing their natural beauty, Afro hairstyles, and handmade African-inspired clothing.
Brathwaite’s images — radiant, proud, and luminous — became a silent yet resounding declaration: “Black is Beautiful.” Through his lens, he did more than show; he uplifted. He celebrated an identity long denied and transformed photography into a peaceful weapon of liberation.

An Artist at the Crossroads of Music, Fashion, and Politics
At the AJASS studios, creation was a collective endeavor. Brathwaite photographed events such as Naturally ’65 and Miss Natural Standard of Beauty, where Black beauty became performance, statement, and manifesto.
His lens soon reached a wider artistic community: Abbey Lincoln, Max Roach, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali… All stood before his camera, all contributing to a vast visual narrative of reclaimed dignity.
“His images sing freedom, joy, and the pride of being.” — François Cheval, curator of the exhibition
A Tribute Exhibition at the Mougins Center for Photography
Presented as part of the Grand Arles Express, Kwame Brathwaite – Black is Beautiful marks the artist’s first European retrospective. Curators François Cheval and Yasmine Chemali offer a powerful and intimate journey through archives, portraits, and iconic moments.
The large-scale prints create a dialogue between intimacy and collective strength: Harlem becomes a stage of resistance where every gaze proclaims “I am.”
In 2025, Kwame Brathwaite’s message resonates with renewed urgency. In a world still shaped by questions of identity, representation, and diversity, his work reminds us that loving one’s own image is already an act of liberation.
His photographs — now part of the collections of the MoMA, LACMA, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami — continue to inspire artists, activists, and creators worldwide.

The Biennale Arte 2026 is already emerging as one of the major artistic events of the year. Titled In Minor Keys, this 61st edition is built on the deeply sensitive and poetic vision of Cameroonian curator Koyo Kouoh. Having passed away in May 2025, she leaves behind a project of rare coherence, driven by a simple yet powerful idea: to listen to what the world whispers rather than what it shouts.
Running from 9 May to 22 November 2026, across the Giardini, the Arsenale, and various sites throughout Venice, this Biennale promises a sensory, meditative, and deeply human experience—breaking away from the visual excess often seen in contemporary exhibitions.
“In Minor Keys”: when the Biennale chooses softness to speak about the world
At the heart of the project lies the notion of minor tonalities. In her curatorial text, Koyo Kouoh evokes these lower frequencies—spaces where one turns toward slowness, relationship, and poetry.
Far from overwhelming statements, In Minor Keys offers:
a sensitive, almost musical experience;
an immersion in intimate, restorative artistic forms;
a parcours conceived as a polyphony of voices, inspired by jazz, blues, morna, and Creole songs;
a relational aesthetic prioritising the human, attentive listening, and the fragility of our worlds.
This 2026 Biennale does not seek to persuade, but to move.

A free, polyphonic, organic journey
The 2026 Biennale follows an archipelago-like logic. Each artist, each work, each exhibition space becomes an island connected to the others by invisible bridges: emotions, rhythms, materials, vibrations.
Visitors will encounter:
Sensory worlds
A meditative exhibition working with slowness, silence, and resonance.
Creole gardens
Drawing from Glissant, Kouoh imagines a creolised garden: a rich, self-protective ecosystem where forms coexist, support one another, and respond.
Spaces of care
The works become oases in a world saturated with crises.
A festival of ensembles
Rather than a single overarching message, the Biennale 2026 proposes a poly-rhythm—a chorus of voices improvising, dialoguing, and responding like a jam session.
Why this Biennale will have global impact
The strength of In Minor Keys lies in its singular position: it rejects visual saturation, overabundance, and the spectacle of global exhibitions.
Instead, the 2026 Biennale:
restores vernacular practices, slow gestures, and ancestral knowledge;
places artists at the centre as mediators rather than performers;
reconnects art with its emotional and social functions;
aligns with the critical issues of 2026: ecology, cultural archipelagos, polyphony, decolonising imaginaries, collective care.
This makes it one of the most anticipated exhibitions in the world.
A powerful tribute to Koyo Kouoh
Because the exhibition is realised exactly according to her plans, with the approval of her family, In Minor Keys becomes an act of transmission.
Koyo Kouoh leaves behind:
a relational vision of the world;
a radical defence of Afro-descendant artists and plural knowledge systems;
a deeply anti-colonial, poetic, embodied gaze;
a conception of art as breath, rhythm, meditation, and care.
The 2026 Biennale stands as one of the final major curatorial works of her time — and perhaps her most intimate.

Why you should follow this edition
The Biennale Arte 2026 reinvents the museum experience. It restores attention to what the world often overlooks: sensitivity, slowness, discreet voices. It opens a new path for contemporary creation: more human, softer, more polyphonic.

French artist of Congolese origin, David Bouyou turns drawing into an art of attention. His portraits and animals become sites of memory where beauty meets the finitude of life. From his childhood in Congo to his exhibitions in Provence, Picardy, and now abroad, his journey traces an ethics of the gaze — humble, steadfast, and deeply human.
Jaguars
Childhood of Observation: The First Gazes
The gesture appeared early. As a child, David constantly asked for “paper, paper, paper,” absorbed in the contemplation of his grandfather’s farmyard. Two motifs took root — the animal and the face — and never left him. Arriving in France at around three years old, he continued to draw relentlessly, refining in adolescence his taste for realistic and expressive portraits. This practice of observation forged in him a rare quality: an attentiveness to life, to the imperceptible movement that crosses all living beings.
Learning to Step Aside: The Blois School
In Blois, he spent three years studying art, design, and graphic arts. This training marked a turning point. It pushed him to leave his comfort zone, to question drawing itself, and to explore other visual languages. That inner shift, he says, shaped his practice. He discovered that drawing is not just the reproduction of reality, but a poetic interpretation, a dialogue between the gaze and silence.
Amy
The Silence of the Line — Then the Return
After art school, David Bouyou took another path: theological studies in Bordeaux, a pastoral commitment, and nearly eight years during which drawing faded from his life. The thread was picked up again in 2019 with an elephant — a symbol of memory and resilience. The 2020 lockdown gave him time. Living in Provence, he decided to give drawing the place it deserved. Commissions started to flow, particularly through Instagram, where his graphic universe captivated viewers with its depth and simplicity.
From Provence to New York: An International Flight
His first exhibition took place in Provence in October 2021, followed by another in Picardy in 2022. In 2023, a Spanish gallery owner discovered his work on Instagram and invited him to an international art fair — one of his pieces received the jury’s honors. Since then, his drawings have crossed borders, reaching New York and Miami. The artist speaks of these opportunities with serene wonder:
“I savor each step as a gift.”
Portraits and Animals: The Beauty of Vulnerability
David Bouyou’s portraits are silent tributes. The first, dedicated to Kobe Bryant after the 2020 tragedy, was born from personal emotion. Others followed — including Gaspard Ulliel — as meditations on life’s fragility. For him, drawing is an act of presence: capturing the moment before it disappears. In his animal drawings, the artist conveys majesty without excess: lions, elephants, and horses share the same wounded innocence as his human faces. His line does not show off — it watches over. This “calm gravity”, the hallmark of his style, is born from his attention to the beauty of the fragile.
Trained in theology, David Bouyou does not preach — he listens to the world. His faith, he says, teaches him to “let go of small battles” and focus on what matters: inner peace and meaningful traces.
“We all have a message to share,” he confides. His message flows through the line — a humanism of drawing, simple, direct, universal. This sincerity resonates equally with families commissioning portraits and with international gallery owners and collectors.
Why His Work Resonates Today
At a time when digital images saturate our attention, David Bouyou reminds us of the power of drawing — its slowness, emotional precision, and responsibility toward life. His art doesn’t impose. It invites us to look differently — to sense beauty through vulnerability. In a rushed world, he chooses the tenderness of the line. And perhaps that is where his modernity lies.

❓ FAQ — David Bouyou, the Artist of Line and Fragility
Who is David Bouyou? David Bouyou is a French-Congolese artist whose work explores the beauty and fragility of life. Through portraits and animal drawings, he celebrates memory, presence, and vulnerability. His journey, marked by a childhood in Congo and studies in art and theology, nurtures a deeply human and contemplative body of work.
What is David Bouyou’s artistic style? His style is defined by precise, quiet line work, attention to light and texture, and restrained emotion. Combining realism and introspection, he translates the vulnerability of life without overemphasizing technical virtuosity.
Where does David Bouyou exhibit his work? After his first exhibitions in Provence (2021) and Picardy (2022), David Bouyou was discovered by a Spanish gallery owner in 2023. His works have since traveled to New York and Miami, where they captivated international audiences with their emotional intensity and refined aesthetics.
What themes recur in his drawings? Recurring themes include faces and animals — symbols of memory and innocence. His portraits (such as Kobe Bryant or Gaspard Ulliel) explore human finitude, while his animals embody the tranquil strength of the living world. For him, drawing is an act of attention and gratitude.
What role does theology play in his artistic path? His spiritual journey and theological studies have shaped an ethics of the gaze: a sense of time, silence, and creative responsibility. Without ever imposing religious discourse, he invites an attentive listening to the world — each drawing becoming a meditation on life.
Why does his work move so many people? Because it speaks to everyone. His works do not seek to impress but to be present. They invite us to slow down, to observe, to feel. In a world overloaded with images, David Bouyou offers a form of visual peace — an art of tenderness and truth.
Paris Photo 2025 has transformed the Grand Palais into a true world capital of photography. With 222 exhibitors from 33 countries, the fair offers a unique panorama of contemporary creation. Amid this vibrant energy, three encounters stood out. Three artists, three approaches, three powerful emotions — and three reasons not to miss this edition.
Mia Weiner / Galerie Homecoming, Stand N01, Emergence Sector
1. Mia Weiner — When the body becomes digital tapestry
My first visual shock: the monumental self-portraits by Mia Weiner, represented by Homecoming Gallery. In her series You’re My Son, the American artist turns digital imagery into textile matter: each pixel becomes a thread, hand-woven with breathtaking precision.
Mia Weiner / Galerie Homecoming, Stand N01, Emergence Sector
Why it’s a highlight ?
A powerful, unapologetic, political presence of the female body.
A subtle dialogue between technology and craftsmanship.
Textures that make the image feel alive.
Mia Weiner questions how women’s bodies are seen and represented in a digital age — and she does so with raw, vibrant poetry.
François Alary / Galerie Ruttkowski;68, Stand D26 main sector
2. François Alary — An unexpected dialogue with Claude Monet
Next, I headed to Ruttkowski;68, where French photographer François Alary presents an elegant and intimate new series. After forty years in New York, working for Vogue, Vanity Fair, and more, Alary takes a more contemplative turn.
His series reimagines the gardens of Giverny:
scanned Polaroids,
hand-painted oil gestures,
color spilling beyond the frame,
dialogue between photographic blur and painterly texture.
François Alary / Galerie Ruttkowski;68, Stand D26 main sector
Why it’s a highlight These images create a visual conversation with Monet without ever imitating him — capturing an impressionist spirit while offering a resolutely contemporary gaze.

Sophie Ristelhueber / Poggi Gallery, Stand A24 – Main Sector
3. Sophie Ristelhueber — The memory of wounded landscapes
The third striking moment: Poggi Gallery’s stand dedicated to Sophie Ristelhueber, one of France’s most influential photographers and recipient of the prestigious Hasselblad Award.
Facing a 40-meter-long wall, tracing four decades of work, visitors are immersed in an oeuvre shaped by the world’s scars:
territories marked by conflict,
landscapes turned into bodies,
ruins transformed into memory.
Sophie Ristelhueber / Poggi Gallery, Stand A24 – Main Sector
Why it’s a highlight Each image feels like a sensitive investigation, turning landscapes into silent witnesses. You leave this stand deeply moved, as if you had crossed a wounded yet fiercely alive territory.
What I take away from Paris Photo 2025: three artists, three visions, one shared breath
This 2025 edition reminds us that photography is not just a medium — it is a living language, capable of uniting technique, memory, the body, pain, softness, and innovation.
👉 Mia Weiner reinvents textile. 👉 François Alary reinvents Monet. 👉 Sophie Ristelhueber reinvents how we look at the world’s scars.
Three artists to follow closely, three committed galleries, and a fair that confirms that Paris remains — more than ever — the world capital of the photographic image.

galleries (Clémentine de la Féronnière, Thaddaeus Ropac, Fisheye)
museums (Carnavalet, MAC VAL)
unusual venues (Chapelle de Clairefontaine, Studio Frank Horvat)
Every exhibition becomes an open window onto the world.
Claudia Andujar, Rua Direita, 1970 – Galeria Vermelho, shown at Paris Photo 2025 Through a bold angle, the Brazilian photographer captures the urban crowd and the humanity of passers-by. A historic moment where the street becomes a social stage.
Photography as the art of connection
These events are more than exhibitions: they form an ecosystem. Between institutions and independents, between books and images, Paris creates a dialogue of practices, formats and perspectives.
This November 2025 affirms photography as a collective, living art, a mirror of our memories and our transformations.
Photo Days : 3–30 November – throughout Île-de-France
