Van Doren Invitational

Last Friday, OBEY PARIS ART SPACE hosted the opening of Playgrounds, a group exhibition curated by Paulo Iverno. This exhibition is an ode to urbanism. Six Parisian artists get inspired from the city and it's playful architectures to create works for this new show. The theme explores a variety of subjects: childhood memories, urban exploration, play and liberty, in a vibrant and colourful aesthetic. Félicie Vitrai blends technology and imagination, using augmented reality, virtual reality, and digital photomontage to create immersive, playful experiences that blur the line between real and make-believe. Her new paintings feature 3D-printed frames.Thami Nabil (aka Recso Verto) is a Paris-based artist working in video animation. His work distorts time and space, layering movement and sound to create hypnotic visual narratives. For this special occasion Recso will be printing on plexi-glass. Mario Picardo draws inspiration from the urban landscape, layering color and form through airbrush techniques. His work often incorporates pop culture and comic book elements, transforming city life into something vibrant and surreal. Emile Degorce Dumas creates sculptures and installations that blend animist traditions with contemporary Western aesthetics. His works have a dreamlike yet unsettling presence, drawing on absurdity and contradiction to evoke both attraction and discomfort.Clara Cimelli creates highly textured, hyper-saturated works on machine paper—somewhere between dream and nightmare. Her compositions carry a raw energy, merging chaotic, almost violent imagery with exaggerated theatricality. James Dosa, a Paris-based painter, draws from video games, manga, and cartoons to explore the idea of a shared visual language. His paintings layer nostalgic and contemporary references, connecting generations through familiar imagery. A huge thanks to everyone that came out to experience Playgrounds.The exhibition will be on view until April 4Open Tuesday through Sunday.OBEY PARIS40 Rue Etienne Marcel, 75002
