Artists' studio

Yann Penhouet

Yann Penhouet, aka YP, has always been fascinated by art, history, old posters and waste paper, and has developed a technique centered on collage, at the crossroads of Pop Art and Street Art. A self-taught collage artist, he lives and works between Paris and Vichy. Yann Penhouet carefully selects old posters that he hunts down, then reworks, lacerates, glues, tears and enhances with paint, stencil or airbrush.

Above all, the artist seeks to create the illusion of a nostalgic face-to-face encounter, offering the public the sensation of rediscovering an old poster in the bend of an alleyway. It also creates a dialogue between form and content: the poster is confronted with extracts from newspapers and advertisements, helping to reveal a whole universe. Through the almost exclusive use of a unique material – paper – Yann Penhouet has developed works of great richness and authenticity.

His favorite subjects? Cars, motorcycles, pin-ups, the United States, and the cinema of the 50s and 60s.

Customis’air

After a brilliant career in the press, notably in advertising agencies, nothing predestined Christophe Boudet for furniture design. Passionate about aviation, automobiles and design since his earliest childhood, he has devoted all his spare time to deepening his knowledge, to the point of mastering the subtleties that distinguish a Boeing from a freighter, a civil aircraft from a military plane. Customis’Air was born of this passion: his expertise, his impressions and his desire to fuse design and aviation.

It was in his workshop, tucked away out of sight, that Christophe Boudet designed and developed his first prototypes. Initially for his own use and hobby, he shapes and develops different variations of the ideas that pop into his head. With each new creation, his eye sharpens and his imagination abounds, to the point where each of his creations quickly becomes identifiable.

In 2020, Customis’Air was officially born. Christophe Boudet imagines and reinvents his creations to give life to ideal furniture. Decorative objects designed by an enthusiast, for aviation and automobile enthusiasts.
Each piece, transformed and rethought, is specially designed to bring a touch of originality and sublimate your interior.

Natacha Toutain

The daughter of a talented draughtsman, Natacha Toutain inherited an immoderate taste for painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, music, cinema and everything to do with art in general from an early age. Natacha soon took up oil painting, which she never abandoned. Her meeting with Alain Bernardin, founder of the legendary Crazy Horse in Paris, was to prove decisive for her future career. He offered her her very first exhibition at his establishment, where she painted the Crazy Horse girls.

Following in her father’s footsteps, she moved into portraiture, and soon found success. She paints icons from all over the world, especially those from American cinema, such as Marilyn Monroe, Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Sharon Stone… but also French figures, like Alain Delon, with whom she exhibited in 2012 at Fouquet’s. BB (Brigitte Bardot) remains one of her favorite models.
In fact, Natacha was selected as one of the 1,000 Artists of the Year by Artprice and Le Figaro for 2007-2008!

Finally, Natacha is best known today for her paintings of Steve McQueen, whom she represents with his cars and motorcycles…

Dioram’Art

A little talent, a lot of luck, and above all, a decisive encounter transformed his life. An enthusiast was won over by his work and helped him connect with collectors and car owners.
In his view, his clients are still big kids at heart; only the price of their toys has changed. The emotion is always there: some even have tears in their eyes when they see their model.

Although his company is now inundated with requests, Nicolas Humbert, creator of Dioram’Art, is also involved in initiatives in Corsica. The island is hosting more and more sporting events, both car and motorcycle races. Galeria Biker Bay, a large gathering of vintage motorcycles, is one of these must-see events. For this occasion, he chose to collaborate with the organizers to create personalized models.

Through his miniature creations, he proves that the smallest details, frozen in resin, can give rise to the biggest dreams.
