Philippe Richard [1] (born February 25, 1962) is a French artist, based in Paris, France. He lived New York from 1996 to 1999. He has been very close to some American painters such as Joan Mitchell and Shirley Jaffe. Some of his work resides in the THEODORE:Art gallery [2] in Brooklyn, New York.
Richard [3] studied painting at the School of the Art Institute of Paris (École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts). From 1994 to 1996 he did a residency at Straumur Art Commune in Iceland. From 1994 to 1995 he received a grant « Leonard de Vinci » to go to Iceland. In 1997 he received a grant from the FIACRE (Fonds National d’Art Contemporain) to do a project in New York. In 1998 he also did a residency at the International Studio Program, in New York.
Since a few years ago, Richard’s paintings leave the canvas to benefit the art space and its walls. This work started in 1996 in Iceland when he released 180 bottles into the sea, each containing a different gouache titled « Months, years ». The bottles were combined with a series of 77 paintings on driftwood from the Icelandic beaches. Since then, a third of the gouaches have been found and collected by different people from Norway, Germany and the United Kingdom. Thanks to this experience he started to rethink his idea about painting and surfaces. Since 1997 he started a long series of "painting steles" and "atmospherics variables", "earth edges" and "lineaments" where parallel works run during the reassessment of paintings. Philippe Richard considers his paintings as juggling between physical spaces and canvas’ spaces. The exhibition space is no more a receptacle; Philippe Richard starts to build a relationship between art pieces and art spaces so that it becomes an active background. Matrix is the result of all his research, making the paintings and the art spaces one. [4]

Jean-Michel Sanejouand was a French artist. His work ranged from environments to monumental sculptures, from readymade-like objects, to paintings of oneiric landscapes in which (usually) one of his sculptures stands.
Fernand Toupin was a Québécois abstract painter best known as a first-generation member of the avant-garde movement known as Les Plasticiens. Like other members of the group, his shaped paintings drew upon the tradition of geometric abstraction, and he cited Mondrian as a forerunner. In 1959, Toupin began working with a more lyrical, though abstract, way of painting. The last decade of his career saw his return to geometric abstraction. Like Jean-Paul Mousseau, Toupin created works which lay outside the standard boundaries of art such as his stage sets for ballets.

Robert Antoine Pinchon was a French Post-Impressionist landscape painter of the Rouen School who was born and spent most of his life in France. He was consistent throughout his career in his dedication to painting landscapes en plein air. From the age of nineteen he worked in a Fauve style but never deviated into Cubism, and, unlike others, never found that Post-Impressionism did not fulfill his artistic needs. Claude Monet referred to him as "a surprising touch in the service of a surprising eye".
Olivier Masmonteil is a French artist. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux from 1996 to 1999. As a painter, Olivier Masmonteil dedicates his work exclusively to landscapes. While offering a variety of treatment, the paintings of Olivier Masmonteil assume a thematic unity which the landscape is both the substance and form, subject and object, the content and container. Globetrotter artist, he has started a second world tour in Asia and South America.
Jean Messagier was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker and poet. Jean Messagier had his first solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Arc-en-Ciel in 1947. From 1945 to 1949 the artist worked under the influence of Pablo Picasso, André Masson, Paul Klee and François Desnoyer, his professor at École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. Messagier again was revealed to the public at an exhibition organized by Charles Estienne at the Galerie de Babylone in 1952, entitled "La Nouvelle École de Paris". The following year, Messagier deliberately broke away from his expressionistic form of Post-Cubism; his inspirations now focused on Jean Fautrier and Pierre Tal-Coat to develop a personal vision in which he renders "light...approached abstractly." Jean Messagier is often associated with Lyrical abstraction, Tachisme, Nuagisme, Art informel and paysagisme abstrait, though the artist himself had never accepted any labels, and had always refused the distinction between abstraction and figuration. From 1962 until the year of his death Jean Messagier exhibited in France and abroad, taking part in some major international events as a representative of new trends in French painting.
