Silvio Porzionato was born in Italian Piedmont in 1971. Trained in Fine Arts, he began his career as chief designer of an important Italian company and learned about photography.
After traveling the world, Silvio decided to settle in his native village to devote himself solely to painting.
His first exhibition in 2007 earned him the Mondadori Prize and then was selected for the Venice Biennale in 2011.
Consecration came quickly with orders from the Museum of Urban Art of Turin and especially the acquisition of 112 paintings by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Sicily in 2013.
Although borrowing from the rules of portraiture, the immense faces which he makes his signature seek more to probe feelings, emancipated from the conventional framework of representation, to give free rein to a fictional and dreamlike interpretation.
This look seems to have been taken on the spot, like a stolen photo?
This is because the artist is also a photographer and knows how to capture the fleeting moment which reveals solitude, joy, surprise, the expression of interiority, life itself.
Silvio Porzionato’s figurative approach is fundamentally humanist, through his imaginary realism he paints faces as one fights against forgetting, against the standardization and the negation of the face to face imposed by totalitarianism.
From a particular face, the artist seeks to draw the universal, and through a mirror effect makes us discover that we are not alone in being alone.
As a figurative painter keen on photography, he knows the dramatic intensity monochrome can bring by guiding the eye towards the essential.
He tactfully masters this technique of grisaille which frees the subject from the rhetoric of color, emphasizing the variations and nuances of skin tone.
The visual power of black and white is unrivaled for expressing contrast and depth.
It gives a form of authenticity, a timeless dimension and effectively helps us to go beyond the simple contemplation of forms.
A great traveler, Silvio Porzionato has recently participated in numerous individual and group exhibitions in Hong Kong, Miami, Chicago, London, Paris, Bogotá, New York, Seoul and Istanbul.
He presents at the Galerie Montmartre a new collection specially designed for the exhibition “Face to Face” with Gil Bruvel.

STELI
Steli have a graduate of the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria, and a member of the International Association of Plastic Arts, he uses different techniques of painting, collage, gold leaf and silver.
His “City series” of stylized flowers, hearts or purely geometric compositions have metaphorical, poetic and lyrical significance and are inspired by my travels to world famous metropolises such as Paris, New York, London and other equally exciting.
He likes to tell stories lived in these places, but in a poetic form and without emphasizing a specific event.
He plays with symmetries and volumes to animate these specific mounted puzzles. His collages are a mixture, a “patchwork” of old and new “found” banknotes, postcards, stickers, flyers and the like, and of course fragments captured by my camera in the urban environment.
This imaginary journey takes us through street names, shop windows and the iconography of famous places, all brought together on canvas with my own unique “patina” technique. I try to capture the mood of the moment, the movement, the rhythm of life as well as the traces of the past, the history of the place that remains.
I would like to give everyone the freedom to make their own journey, to discover their own street, to come back to their thoughts and memories in these magical places where they once were…

Benoit Havard, born in 1981 in Orléans, is a French painter. He began to draw and paint at the age of six. In 1998, he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts in Cherbourg, where Lejeune and Valadié became his masters.
If his artistic path leads him to favor watercolor and pastel at first, he evolves today more in acrylic.
The artist draws his imagination from his travels, with a predilection for marine and urban scenes. From his brightly colored landscapes emerges a meditative atmosphere, where contemplation takes on its full meaning. And at the same time, his paintings are alive, animated by the experience that Benoit Havart manages to breathe into his paintings, real captures of a moment.
Benoit Havard has exhibited in several galleries in France since 2004 and has been the guest of honor at several fairs. In addition, his works can be found in numerous public and private collections, such as La Française des jeux, Louis Vuitton, ASSYS CYBORG and the Mauresmo family. Finally, his work was published in the magazine Univers des Arts in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
