of DF Association
Ronnie Jiang was born in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia She obtained her BA Fashion Design degree in Taiwan. She came to France in 2008. In 2013, she launched her artistic career, after working on several projects as a fashion designer
Her figurative works are fragmented, of obvious incoherence, act beyond double-edged, somewhere between surreal enchantment and uncanny enigma, where we meet the icons in the art world, the characters of her graphic illustrations evolve alongside nonsensical, yet familiar animals. Her expressive portraits have one thing in common – they are perfectly identifiable due to their characters’ grey, diaphanous skin. They collide in the world of dance, storytelling, globalized society.
She has been participating in exhibitions around the world, such as in Paris, London, Bucharest, Macau, and Tokyo. She likes to bring her state of art expression more in social reflection, political awareness with a humorous touch.
Ronnie is the creator of the artistic project Déstructuralisme Figuratif.
She carries the visions and ambitions of the artists that she carefully selects at the international level.

Jérôme Royer is a painter who oscillates between the figurative and the abstract, his portraits combine the real with the unreal. He draws from a young age, seeing art as a way to have fun and express himself.
He turned to building, worked in a construction company, and then became a building and architectural designer. He will be strongly encouraged on social networks for the quality of his work.
He then draws more and more and begins to exhibit his drawings. His work is the result of research into quantum meditation focused on the interconnection of beings and the universe.
The practice of martial arts, including boxing, meditation, and tai chi chuan, influences his practice of painting, from his body language to the technique used. His work has earned him numerous personal and group exhibitions in France and abroad, notably in Belgium and Australia.

Self-taught painter part of the neo-expressionist artistic movement, Adrien stands out with a post-baroque style,
between classical lines and futuro-punk.
His training as a professional make-up artist allowed him to collaborate with the Des Gueux collective as a ZFX make-up artist. This experience propelled him into a post-apocalyptic universe, at the heart of the scenography of zombies and horrifying accessories of all kinds. With this creative experience, he has since devoted himself fully to painting, giving birth to series of emaciated individuals, with the embodied sensitivity of a post-contemporary black romanticism, crying out for reality, eyes wide open.

Sculptor
Active member for communication and technical logistic of DF Association
Franck interprets our current world with these influences, good or bad. His research results in the creation of round, compressed, diverted or even distorted shapes. His pieces are systematically worked in the ambivalence of abstraction and figuration. From an abstract form that he deforms by his gesture, an animal or human appearance appears.
When he chooses a figurative model, he metamorphoses it to make it more abstract. Both in motion and still, sometimes playful and sometimes tactile, his process bends to the constraints of matter and contingency.
The integration of his hands into his works marks his imprint, the hold of time, the formatting that we undergo throughout our lives.
Franck mainly evokes the animal world to represent humans in all their diversity, complexity, and behavior.
He has exhibited his work since 1996 in France and abroad (Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, Japan, Canada and China.)
He is a founding member of ArtCeram “Terres d’Empreintes” which organizes biennials on ceramics in SALT from Sèvres in Hauts-de-Seine.

Jérôme graduated from the University of Arts and Media in Cardiff (Wales). His studies gave him the chance to practice museography/scenography and interior design. He has collaborated with major design and construction firms in London, St Barthélemy and France. At the same time, his training in visual arts and his personal work in the studio allow him to exhibit his work internationally. In 2018, he won the Artist of the Year Award (Arts Practice) for the portrait ‘Robb’, from a series of monumental paintings, resulting from a collaborative work with photographer Michael GRAMM. His works are inspired by the human body and its strength/weakness duality. This subject torments him personally and intervenes at the heart of the graphic exploration of his works. Anonymous, apolitical, sometimes asexual, the model’s fragment and contort at will. The characteristic feature of Jérôme’s work lies exactly halfway between the figurative and the abstract, and carries all the power and ambiguity of the subject explored: the living. Jérôme joined the DF team for the Selection Committee in 2022.

Born in Tehran, Iran, Mehnoush Modonpour experienced revolution, immigration and war. During these experiences, her work has often exceeded the “traditional” limits of the Iranian culture that molded her. As if the artist was striving to challenge certain concepts that he had been taught to obey. Rebellious and spiritual, his works show a break with his original traditions, while denouncing the implacable consequences of ignorance on man: suffering, inevitably. Through art, Mehnoush Modonpour becomes the messenger of an equality in which she believes. She explores through multiple media the relationship between humans, their environment, and everything in between. Mehnoush joined DF’s communications team in 2022.
