Jeff Kowatch is a Californian painter born in 1965. Long represented in New York and Los Angeles by the mythical dealer Earl McGrath, alongside Brice Marden or Bruce Nauman, he is now established in Belgium where his work is highly sought after. In 2016, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts acquired his monumental canvas «Christ Leaving Brussels» (253x432cm), currently on display at the Museum.
Michel Draguet then signed the catalog of our exhibition «Apocalyptic Carnival». The gallery has represented him since 2008 and regularly presents his work in major art fairs in France, Belgium and the USA.

Christian Renonciat, a French artist born in 1947, is a virtuoso of wood, which he brings to the limit of trompe l’oeil in spectacular bas-reliefs. The first artist to exhibit a monumental work at the FIAC in 1984, he also has a brilliant career of public commissions and collaborations with prestigious companies such as the Manufacture de Sèvres and above all the House of Hermès, which exhibits his work all over the world.

François Cante-Pacos, French artist and designer, born in 1946, is the creator of the Pierre Cardin logo and furniture in the 1970s. At the same time, he created a series of futuristic furniture, revealed with resounding success at PAD 2018 by Galerie Gastou. These pieces of furniture, halfway between jewelry and sculpture, are now highly sought after by collectors.
