Pierre Bellot’s artistic practice unfolds under the sign of a constant demand for definition, in a context where contemporary painting inevitably confronts fundamental questions: which subjects to represent, and by what means? His painting operates within a perpetual movement between the choice of subject and the modes of its figuration, as if each canvas were re-examining the very conditions of its own emergence. His compositions seem to render perceptible the physical properties of matter in motion, caught in a continuous alternation between disorder and organization. This agitation appears as the lingering memory of a form or motif, at the threshold between appearance and disappearance.

Born in 1990, Pierre Bellot lives and works in Paris.
Graduated from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris with honors. His work has been exhibited in Avignon (Collection Lambert), Paris (Bastille Design Center, Palais des Beaux-Arts, La Villette, Progress Gallery…), New York (56 Henry) and Berlin (Galerie Noah Klink). In 2019-2020, he was a member of the French Academy in Madrid, at Casa de Velázquez.

Kate Newby creates sculptures and installations using a wide variety of techniques (ceramics, glass, textiles). By incorporating leftover objects found in the street like cigarette butts, coins, fragments of broken glass, she elevates the prosaic by giving it new form and space, ranging from the tiny to the monumental. Her works bear the imprint of her gestures (hands, elbows, feet…); they engage in dialogue with the spaces that host them and invite us to come closer to discover their textures and details.

Kate Newby was born in Auckland, Aotearoa, New Zealand in 1979 and works in the United States where she lives. In 2015 she graduated with a PhD from the Elam School of Fine Art at the University of Auckland. She won the Walters Prize, New Zealand’s largest contemporary art prize, in 2012 and the Ettore Fico Prize (Turin, IT) in 2022.

Her work has been shown at the 21st Biennale of Sydney in 2018, as well as in various institutions and galleries around the world: Sharjah Bienniale (2025), Fondation Hermès and Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan (2023/2024), at Blaffer Art Museum, Houston, Texas, US (2023), Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand, Wellington, Nouvelle-Zélande (2023); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2022); Musée de Rochechouart (2021); Institut d’Art Contemporain Villeurbane (2019); Lumber room, Portland, Oregon (2019); Kunsthalle Vienna (2018); Kunsthaus Hamburg (2018); Index, Contemporary Swedish Art Foundation (2017); and the SculptureCenter, NY (2017).
She is currently preparing a large-scale commission for Portland Airport, a solo performance at the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, and a group exhibition at the Brandhorst Museum in Munich, also in Germany.
