Long considered the poor relation of contemporary creation, painting is currently a medium chosen and claimed by many young artists who are renewing its appeal.

In recent decades, few art centres or museums have been able to defend painters of different generations, and within the schools of Fine Arts, there have been few painters on the teaching staff.

Through the work of some thirty painters born in the 1980s, this exhibition catalogue highlights a generation of artists who claim a new historical painting or weave links with literature or art history.
