August 2026: Set aside some time to reflect on the past year and prepare for the new school year.
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well and that you’ve been able to take advantage of this summer to recharge.
Summer is often a time to slow down, take a step back and reflect on how far we’ve come, before planning what’s next.
There has been plenty to get on at Art Trope Gallery, Art Professional School and Virginie Tison Art Coach recently. We have been busy with exhibitions, welcoming new artists, developing new projects and extending our services and training programmes.
We’re taking this opportunity in August to share this news with you and also to tell you what’s on the horizon for the coming months.
Wishing you all the best as you get ready for the new school year and looking forward to seeing you soon!

The 2026 Women in Art Biennale in London has selected Florence SARTORI’s work “Jazz in Mama” for display.
Florence SARTORI‘s selection for the 2026 Women in Art Biennale in London marks a new milestone in the international development of her artistic career, which has been steadily growing over the years.
2026 Women in Art Biennale, London
📍 Chelsea Old Town Hall, London
📅From Thursday 20 August to Sunday 23 August 2026
Female artists from all over the world come together for this international event, which is held every two years. They share a common goal: to increase the visibility of contemporary female artists and contribute to better representation of women on the international art scene.
On this occasion, Florence Sartori will present ‘Jaz in Mama’, a sculpture from her ‘Timeless Love‘ series dedicated to motherhood. All the sculptures in this series are titled ‘Me and Mum’ in different languages, celebrating the universal nature of the bond between a child and their mother.
In Slovenian, “Jaz in Mama” depicts a tender dialogue between mother and child. Balance, intimacy and tenderness are intertwined in a physical encounter where tension and elongated forms meet suppleness and curves.
This work explores themes that recur throughout Florence Sartori’s body of work, such as femininity, transmission, balance and resilience. The sculpture allows each viewer to project their own story onto it.
Hélène HUBERT presents “Jardin sur mer” in Cancale, Brittany
From 13 August to 9 September 2026, Hélène HUBERT will be exhibiting alongside sculptor Charles-Henry Frasson at the Halle à Marée in Cancale as part of the Estivales festival.
On this occasion, the artist is presenting ‘Jardin sur mer’, an exhibition comprising 34 photographs organised into three series that further explore his investigation into perception, memory and the changing landscape:
– « Botanical Shards: Utricularia dimorphanta »
– « Mother Nature’s Mirror »
– « Storybook Mirrors: Architectures »
The three photographic installations are spread out across the space, interacting with the sculptures by Charles-Henry Frasson, guiding visitors on a journey through nature, architecture, memory, and the transformation of the landscape.
📍 Halle à Marée : Salle Paul Yvain
15 place du Calvaire – 35260 Cancale
📅From Thursday 13 August to Wednesday 9 September 2026
🥂Opening reception: Tuesday 18 August, starting at 6.30pm
Welcome to Painter Geneviève Brozec!
We are delighted to announce that Geneviève BROZEC is now represented by Art Trope Gallery as part of the “Artists to Follow” selection curated by our curator, Virginie Tison.
This addition is particularly significant to us, as we have had the pleasure of supporting Geneviève throughout her training and in developing her professional career.
Geneviève BROZEC is a French painter who has developed a pictorial language at the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Inspired by her travels and observations of human behaviour, her work explores the contemporary world through two major themes: Nature, with all its living things and elements, and humanity, with its customs, behaviours and interactions.
Her benevolent and non-judgemental perspective is reflected in compositions where structure, contrasts, colours, materials and collages create multiple layers of interpretation.
Following an initial career in communications and extended immersive stays across several continents, her artistic practice took on a new dimension in 2020. Three years of intensive training dedicated to her practice accompanied the development of her work and her first exhibitions.
Her works are now part of several private collections in France. We are delighted to support Geneviève Brozec in this new phase of her artistic journey.
Take a look at the virtual galleries on our artists’ profiles.
Art Trope Gallery continues to expand its Virtual Galleries, which serve as true exhibition spaces where visitors can discover the worlds, careers, and works of our artists from around the globe.
As part of our long-term support programme, these galleries offer international visibility in French, English and Chinese, representation and listing on professional art market platforms, curatorial and strategic guidance, and identification of opportunities for exhibitions and artistic events.
New artistic worlds are now enriching our virtual galleries. We are delighted to invite you to explore Jean-Michel Cordier’s virtual gallery:
NEW SERVICE : Website design
The digital presence of an Artist is not limited to showing the works.
Their website should reflect their artistic identity, showcase their career path and body of work, and serve as a valuable professional development tool.
We have spent several years helping artists to establish their digital presence, and now we are offering website design and development services that are tailored entirely to the identity and career path of the artists who use them. To gain an insight into our approach, please take a look at the new website we created for Florence SARTORI.
A huge thank you to Virginie for creating my website. She successfully translated my world as a sculptor into a space that reflects my sensitive, elegant and vibrant nature. Virginie’s attentiveness, patience, ideas and vision have been instrumental in breathing new life into my online work. I am grateful for her contributions. I warmly recommend her services to all artists who want a website that reflects their personality, as she designs these with sensitivity and intelligence. Thank you for this wonderful collaboration!

Use your CPF to get training!
Following our Qualiopi certification, which enables OPCOs to cover the cost of our training programmes, a new funding option has become available in the form of the Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF). This programme complements our existing funding options, enabling more artists and entrepreneurs to develop the skills needed to professionalise their businesses.
We will soon provide you with a list of all the training courses that can be funded through your CPF.
Taking Virginie Tison‘s training course, “Positionner la Communication de votre Entreprise en tant que communiquant en entreprise”, was a true turning point in my career. From an educational standpoint, her approach is incredibly effective; she combines great rigour with a clear teaching structure, enabling me to master technical aspects that initially seemed complex. But what truly sets Virginie apart is her human touch. When I was doubting myself and facing technical challenges, she showed great patience and was always willing to listen, which gave me the confidence to progress. Thanks to her guidance, I now have complete confidence in both my artistic approach and my communication skills. She knows exactly how to balance professional rigour with sensitivity. I am leaving with practical tools, a clear vision and immense gratitude. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any creative professional looking to structure their business effectively!
