Gabrielle Jarzynski

Gabrielle Jarzynski lives and works in Paris. Blending dreamlike and desire, writing and graphic design, she guides the reader to their innermost recesses while giving them the freedom to stay at the door. What if we agreed to go there? To go there with sincerity without protection. It can be scary, yes. But it can remain secret; it's about the intimate. She probes strangers, offering us the fantasies we don't talk about. (Ed. Derrière la salle de bains, Ed. Littérature Minore, Ed. Médium Rare, Ed. Philippe Miennée, etc.) Her latest art book: La Sans Tête, fifteen original drawings by Pat Andrea, engraved on wood by Jean-Marie Picard, accompanied by Gabrielle's poetic texts, published by Éditions Médium Rare in September 2019.

Smith Smith (Illustrator)

Smith Smith —Photography, collage, and their most enjoyable and colorful montages create a dubious space between fiction and reality, between creator and viewer. The image becomes as much a commentary on reality as its poetry. The scope remains imponderable since each image engages similarity and dissimilarity, political criticism, but also poetry. Nothing is fixed, everything is in motion. Collage becomes an occult power that so-called realistic art will never achieve. Jean-Paul Gavard-Perre
