Like allegories of the passing of time, Jordan Harang's works are alive and in motion. The omnipresent organic matter mutates, evoking other states. These “temporal fragments” highlight figurative subjects as much as the impalpable elements that may emerge from them (air, energy, flow, etc.), thus questioning our perception of our environment.
In her drawings and paintings, the artist also sometimes tackles the no- tions of identity, habitat and passages: transitions to other realities.
Combining several scales of observation, from the atomic to the cosmic, her compositions present interlocking worlds, often inspired by science and always tinged with poetry and surrealism.
Resolutely dreamlike and highlighting the matter that makes up everything, his work appeals to our imagination and invites us to take our time. From his metaphysical ramblings, Jordan Harang has created numerous large-format outdoor murals throughout France and Europe. In a more intimate context, his studio works are regularly exhibited in galleries and have been shown at numerous International Contemporary Art Fairs.

A self-taught artist emerging from the graffiti scene, Temponok has established himself as an explorer of time and the fragility of existence. For over fifteen years, he has developed a unique body of work centered around a simple yet universal motif: the soap bubble. Transparent, light, and fleeting, it becomes for him a poetic symbol and a meditation on the passage of time.
Initially immersed in urban culture and aerosol painting, the artist gradually expanded his practice to include acrylics, oil, and resin—deepening both the technical and emotional dimension of his work. His universe has evolved from pure graffiti to a blend of modern vanitas, navigating between abstract expressionism and intimate surrealism.
Each of Temponok’s works questions existence, invites contemplation, and evokes a luminous melancholy, where the fragile beauty of the moment becomes the subject itself.
Though he has moved beyond the codes of traditional graffiti, Temponok has never broken ties with the street. In Paris, he continues the project that first brought him into the public eye: Street Life Sessions—unauthorized murals painted spontaneously in highly visible locations across the city. This ongoing series reaffirms his visceral connection to the urban environment, to immediacy, and to the freedom of spontaneous creation.
His work is regularly exhibited in France and abroad, including major events such as Scope Art Show Miami, Street Art Fest Grenoble, North West Walls (Belgium), the Lyon Contemporary Art Biennale, and Art Attack at the Royal Monceau Paris. He also participates in renowned collective projects such as 100% Paper by Hopare and Lay Up in Toulouse.

Théo Lopez began his artistic journey with a decisive encounter in 2008 with the artists' collective 9ème Concept, marking his evolution. His travels to Russia, Israel and the United States broadened his perspective. At the age of 24, he presented his first solo exhibition in 2013, followed by ten others in Paris, Geneva and Hong Kong. Now 35, Théo shares his unique vision. Initially inspired by tribal themes, he gradually turned to abstraction. His early works were marked by complex patterns, while his current research aims to distill the essence of his line. His creative process is based on spontaneous gestures, transforming random curves into structured geometric forms.
Approaching painting like a sculptor, he embraces chance and serendipity, giving birth to a rich, hybrid poetry where colors and lines resonate. Theo Lopez draws inspiration from movements such as Musicalism, Russian Constructivism and the Blaue Reiter, cultivating a poetic relationship with matter, line and color. His creative process harmonizes reflection and spontaneity, awakening hidden melodies within his work. For Lopez, invention means transforming techniques and creating new concepts through the abandonment of figuration, establishing a practice guided by instinct and a unique relationship with pictorial materials.

Born in the Dordogne, a region steeped in medieval legends, prehistoric tales and local myths, Veks Van Hillik grew up surrounded by the whispers of nature and ancestral stories. From an early age, he was enchanted by this rich, mysterious universe, sketching the fauna, flora and fantastic shadows that surrounded him. This heritage has given rise to a singular imagination: a hybrid bestiary, populated by dreamlike, surreal creatures, half-human, half-animal, that both question and amaze. His works, oscillating between gravity and playfulness, explore the mysteries of humanity, our vanities, our beliefs and our anxieties, all the while distilling a sparkle of irreverence. Inspired by the Flemish primitives and nourished by a taste for classical aesthetics, Veks Van Hillik transforms each canvas into a fabulous story: strange tales where myths rub shoulders with poetry and modern ecological reflections. Since his first exhibitions in 2010, his work has crossed borders, from Rome to New York, from Melbourne to Paris, and his monumental imprint adorns the walls of cities such as Grenoble and Paris. A veritable alchemist of the imaginary, he invites us into his cabinet of curiosities, where every detail is a doorway to dreams.

Born in 1977, Vincent Abadie Hafez is a French artist who lives and works in Toulouse. He has been involved in the graffiti movement since 1989, under the pseudonym Zepha. Trained in the graphic arts, he enriched his practice by learning traditional Eastern and Western calligraphy, the plastic interactions of which he seeks. Influenced by the work of Hassan Massoudy and Georges Mathieu, he developed a unique visual language based on the deconstruction of the letter and the transcultural significance of alphabets. Recognized for his original contribution to the urban calligraphy movement, he helped spread a new aesthetic, at odds with the pictorial forms hitherto explored in vandal writing. Gestural expression and the principle of immediacy were to take root in his approach, giving rise to an artistic universe in motion, evoking the world's rapid pace and the disruption of our relationship with time.
His work is based on an abstract rewriting of calligraphy, in a complex, dynamic style. They combine a personal interpretation of lettering with ornamental work whose process is freely choreographed. These flowing compositions feature an unlimited variety of forms and symbols inspired by Eastern and Western characters. Their intersections compose “visual poems” in a language that he wishes to be universal and memorial.
Vincent Abadie Hafez's work can be seen in public spaces in France and abroad, where he creates monumental frescoes, often presented in the form of hypnotic matrices. Confronted with radical variations in scale, his mural practice sets up the conditions for an unprecedented encounter from both a human and architectural point of view. At the same time, he produces studio work on a variety of media. Considering the material in its link to memory and transmission, he explores its reuse processes and mobilizes artisanal techniques (palimpsest, marquetry, dinanderie, etching) that valorize fabrication and gesture. His work can be found in major private and public collections around the world, and is regularly featured in themed exhibitions dedicated to contemporary calligraphy.
