From October 27 to 31, 2026, the IESA gallery, in the heart of Paris’s 5th arrondissement, hosts Convergences, a group exhibition imagined by the agency Lulia. Five visual artists present their worlds: Cordélia Beaudequin, Gabriel Boudin, Nicolas Gaume, Chloé Laplante, and Léa Le Floc’h. Painting, sculpture, mixed media: the exhibition invites you to rediscover the pleasure of a direct encounter with the works, away from screens. For five days, a rich program accompanies the visit, including artistic introductions, visits for companies, a book presentation, and a concert. Admission is free, with registration recommended.

An Exhibition Under the Sign of Encounter

Rediscovering the Direct Experience of the Artwork

Today, a large part of our relationship with art takes place through screens. Convergences starts from a simple conviction: nothing replaces face-to-face with a work, or the discovery of an artistic universe in person. Its title sums up the exhibition’s intent: art sometimes begins with an encounter.

The Lulia Agency, Between Art, Businesses, and Territories

The Lulia agency is headed by Lucas Ravaud, a graduate of IESA’s Professional Master in Cultural Project Management (class of 2024-2025). Throughout the year, the agency designs, with its network of artists, projects aimed at strengthening cohesion within companies and across territories. With Convergences, it takes a new step: for the first time, it brings together five of these artists in an exhibition open to the general public. A return to the roots for its president, who presents this project in the gallery of the school where he trained.

Five Artistic Worlds to Discover

  • Cordélia Beaudequin, Light and Contrasts

Painter Cordélia Beaudequin works in dry techniques and acrylic. Through the play of light and contrasts, she brings contemplative scenes to life.

  • Gabriel Boudin, the Body Facing Matter

Sculptor Gabriel Boudin shapes wood, clay, and marble. His works confront the body with matter and its transformations.

  • Chloé Laplante, Between Abstraction and Figuration

Visual artist Chloé Laplante works in mixed media. Between abstraction and figuration, she explores gesture, emptiness, and material.

  • Léa Le Floc’h, Color and Dreamlike Universe

Painter and illustrator Léa Le Floc’h moves from watercolor to acrylic and oil painting. Her compositions blend color, movement, and a dreamlike universe.

  • Nicolas Gaume, the Strength of Pattern

Painter Nicolas Gaume works in acrylic and oil painting. Through the repetition of patterns, he questions material, gesture, and composition.

A Five-Day Program

Introductions, Visits, and Meetings

The exhibition is not limited to the walls. For five days, the public can take part in artistic introductions, while visits are specially dedicated to companies. An opportunity to discover the artists' practices up close.

A Book and a Concert

The program also gives pride of place to other forms of expression, with the presentation of the book Maybe There Will Be a Party by Benjamin Locreille and a concert.

The First Issue of the Lulia Agency Journal

On this occasion, the agency Lulia will publish the first issue of its annual journal. It will include the manifesto Faire collectif, interviews with the artists, and several articles on the links between artistic creation, organizations, and territories.
