Julian Charrière
Prix SAM
Julian Charrière is the winner of the Prix SAM pour l’art contemporain 2022. The artist was presented by Jérôme Sans. The prize endowment will allow him to create an installation inviting the visitor to enter a bewitching volcanic landscape of magmatic sculptures, in which he will hear conversations from the Earth, thanks to a sound installation. For this new Stone Speaker project which will be presented at the Palais de Tokyo in 2024, he will travel to Java, Indonesia, to investigate the geothermal landscape of East Java, which is home to one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Dora Jeridi
Bourse Révélations Emerige
The painter Dora Jeridi won the Bourse Révélations Emerige this year. Drawing on the richness of art history, the practice of the young French graduate of the Beaux-arts de Paris is at the crossroads of influences. From the monumental formats of her diptychs inherited from classical painting to the central place played by narration in her paintings, testifying in particular to her fascination for the work of the artist Paula Rego, the 34-year-old artist delivers a hybrid work on the technical side. Her practice mixes oil painting and pastel drawing, which are superimposed in an explosion of shapes, colors and materials.

Abdelhak Benallou
Grand Prize
Abdelhak Benallou, 4th-year student at the Beaux-Arts de Paris at the Stéphane Calais studio, is the recipient of the Grand Prize, which comes with a financial endowment and a residency at the Villa Albertine in Chicago. Explaining his practice he said: "My work as a painter is built on realistic practice. I am, above all, interested in the search for visual narration more so than by technical aspects. After trying several mediums, I now work in oil paint on series portraying various themes. Through my paintings, I am attempting to develop a reflection on behaviors and relationships in society, on the evolution between generations both from a human and technological point of view, drawing inspiration from my daily life."

Elsa Werth
Prix Fondation Pernod Ricard
Elsa Werth develops a work in multiple forms: installations, sculptures, videos, artists’ books and sound pieces. The economy of work, the ways of working constitute the context from which her artistic practice unfolds. She takes into account ordinary actions, daily gestures linked to contemporary activities and rituals by designating them and destabilizing them through operations of displacement, counter-uses, disruptions. With a real economy of means, she claims anti-spectacular productions as a tactic of resistance.

Clédia Fourniau
Prix Sisley Beaux-Arts de Paris
pour la Jeune Création
Clédia Fourniau was born in 1992 in Paris, she graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021 where she trained in the studio of Tatiana Trouvé. Clédia Fourniau sees her work "as an archaeology of the coloured layer, of transparency and light, where painting questions the relationship between the body and space". The works created in series are made of polyurethane resin coloured by the artist and aqueous tinted solutions. The painting-objects come to life in the light, reflecting back to us, leaving the viewer to explore the work and its perception in space.

Laura Lamiel
Prix d'honneur
Laura Lamiel began working with enamelled steel modules in 1985. Her interest lies in the possibilities offered by small-volume white bricks, which she piles up or stands against walls. In the 90s, she combined these bricks with different materials and shapes, such as rolls of carpet, synthetic furs, used gloves, and ribbons. While industrially manufactured, these everyday objects stand out from their original inherent seriality in that they reflect life stories. The artist then moved on from soft, malleable objects to more rigid and fixed elements, arranging them into installations combining public space implements with geometrically shaped artistic objects.

Mimosa Échard
Prix Marcel Duchamp
Mimosa Échard's multidisciplinary practice bridges the surreal, mechanical, and terrestrial in pursuit of plant and human symbiosis. Échard has a research-led practice that spans assemblage, painting, ceramics, and video games. For the Prix Marcel Duchamp, she designed what she calls an "ambiguous architectural object," an uninterrupted water screen reminiscent of human liquids — blood, tears, and urine. "I’ve wanted to work with water screens for a long time, I’ve been thinking about this piece for a long time, you could say it’s a liquid painting, but it’s also an encrypted image, it’s also an inaccessible space," she said in a statement. A video of a woman, flitting in and out of frame, plays behind the falling water.

Olga Chernysheva
Prix de dessin de la Fondation d’art
contemporain Daniel et Florence Guerlain
Olga Chernysheva was born in Moscow in 1962. She studied at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in Moscow and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. She uses her paintings, watercolours, objects, videos and photographs to observe, interpret and recompose the everyday scenes she witnesses. Her palette of images captures daily life in Russia, placing the emphasis on ordinary scenes in particular. Olga Chernysheva draws on Soviet archetypal imagery and its visual canons but also on the chance events that unfold before her camera.

Pol Taburet
Prix Reiffers Art Initiatives
From voodoo to Francis Bacon and Francisco de Goya, via video games and Atlanta trap, the multiple inspirations of Pol Taburet reflect all the syncretism of his plastic practice. At 23, he is already famous for his striking figurative painting which represents beings on the border between the human and the spectrum. From these canvases of disturbing appearance emerges a magical aura, conveyed in particular by bursts of light painted with airbrush. Pol Taburet pays homage to his mother as well as to the rites and figures linked to the quimbois, this set of voodoo beliefs and practices born in Guadeloupe, from which he partly originated.
