About us

 

Atelier Contemporain is the first European editor of Digigraphie® (Trademark of artistic digital print in series registered by Epson).

„Art in all its form is a luxury product ,(elitiste,) inaccessible to the majority of people. Besies, also the history tells us that it is impossible for an artist to live  during his life time. (…)In many cases , it wasn't the lack of creativity that led to failure but the lack of entrepreneurial spirit.“, states Lisa Vidal, painter and Frank Tempier, entrepreneur.

 Lisa Vidal and Frank Tempier

 

 The Team

8 people give their best everyday to ensure your satisfaction. Their work is divided into production, logistics,business developement, art direction and executive management.

 

 The concept

The concept is based on 4 guidelines/priciples:

 

 

• Make contemporary art accessible to as many people as possible.

 

At first, accessibility by means of affordable prices. By realising Digigraphies in limited-editions which ar numbered and signed, the costs of creation are divided.

 

 

• Discovering and promoting talented artists.

 

Contemporary artists and especially the new generation of digital artists are unknown to the general public.

 

 

When people ask us : „Is this artist famous?“ We always answer: „Only few people know contemporary artists. Who is able to state the 5 most popular artists of our modern world? The focus is on the artistic love for every crea­tion. In the field  of numerical art, the artists work in the background. It is similare with artists of ad­vertising campaigns of Chanel, Gucci, H&M, Swarowski or even Printemps, they work in the background.“

 

 

Therefore, Atelier Contemporain gives them the opportu­nity to establish their business and to live out their creativity and genius.

 

 

• Democratizing art in series and ist distribution

 

Galleries´doors are uninviting. So we need to bring artworks to general public places (boutiques and con­cept stores oft he home´s world).

 

• Setting value by creating a scarcity value.

 

By means of limited-editions which are numbered and signed, contracts exclusively signed by th artist but also by means of particular quality standards of fabri­cation and resitence of the artworks ordenary persons concerning contemporary art or collecters like you and me, we find rarity, talent and creativity in Digigra­phie®.
