Clément Mancini is a French contemporary artist who lives and works in Paris. After his studies in graphic arts, he moved to Lyon for 6 years where he developed a work of murals paintings in which abstraction took more and more importance. Close to his graffiti roots and to the energy that emanates from the street, he seeks to reinterpret in his works this energy mixing balance in compo- sition and movement, as in the treatment of line and texture. Now working mainly in his studio, he loves to shake up his painting prac- tice.and techniques, he describes his work as constantly evolving.

Paris / Gallery

Opened in 2011 by the people at Magnum Photo Agency (their Paris bureau is a few streets away), Le Bal is an institutional exhibition space dedicated to the documentary image. For the most part that means lots of photography exhibits but they like to mix up the shows with videos and especially books. They hold conferences with a great line-up of guest speakers and screen documentaries and other films at the nearby Cinéma de Cinéastes. Be sure to check out the bookshop where you can browse through their connoisseur’s collection of high-end photo books and limited edition zines. Le Bal Café is a great place to meet friends for a quick drink or sit down and taste Anna and Alice’s Anglo-French cuisine. And if you’re wondering why it’s called Le Bal, the space was once a dance hall cum brothel in the roaring ‘20s.

Among numerous art galleries in Paris, this one is seriously worth visiting. Very inspiring place with lots of great exhibitions. Yes, too much coolness and beauty in Marais can make you dizzy, but we like it, don't we?
