Anne de Villepoix Gallery is a multidisciplinary art gallery that supports all media of contemporary art : installation, painting, film, sculpture, graphic design, ceramics, etc. The gallery mainly organizes solo exhibitions. The gallery is divided in two spaces (the Art Gallery and the Project Room), and sometimes three (when the Showcase becomes autonomous). This set up opens dialogues between the artists.

Leslie Amine was born in France in 1981. She lives and works in Grenoble. She graduated from the Regional School of Fine Arts in Valence in 2004. She practices painting and drawing and uses photography as a basis for the creation of her worlds. Of French-Beninese origin, she is interested in questions of crossbreeding, hybridity and identity. Her work is built on the rhythm of her travels around the world, it is on other continents that she most often draws her inspiration.

Atsoupé is an artist of Togolese origin whose works constitute an apparent paradox between childhood and violence which makes them particularly unique. Her works, made of faceless dolls and multiple portraits on paper, seem to conjure up spirits, establishing a survival between the past and the future. Atsoupé's dolls are strange sculptures, rather feminine bodies, reconstituted by multiple elements such as forged iron, wool, plastic or even bells. They are often decorated with naive floral motifs, as if a child's hand had come to awaken these extinguished silhouettes, the witnesses of Atsoupé's youth. The artist displays an expressive power in these mysterious faces, sometimes riddled with numerous holes or sewn together with threads or ribbons, they scrutinize our world with a deep melancholy.

Bouvy Enkobo is a visual artist born in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. His life and work are organised between the DRC and France. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa, with a major in visual communication, he participated in numerous residencies and workshops. The triggers for Bouvy Enkobo's pictorial works are the images he perceives around him. This shock allows him to navigate and question himself in a universe that combines the abstract and the figurative. This allows him to question the notion of image representation. These samplings of reality, through his collages and decollages, intensify and dynamise the duality of his paintings.

Sculptor, painter and poet, his work combines paintings, performances, writings and installations. In his works, questions about the human body, the current events in his country, the Congo, international geopolitical events and societal issues are predominant. They are found in the themes of the raw canvases. His works deal with the themes of immigration, urbanisation, the economy, ecology, fights, wars, the march of the world. In spite of these heavy themes, his works carry hope; the hope of those who leave for a life they think is better elsewhere, of those who fight for their ideas and cannot remain silent in the face of a world that repeats the patterns of the past. His protean work shows us our reality. Rough, real, global.
