Drawing is more than a technique: it is a way of observing the world, of slowly moving through it.
President of the drawing section
Since 2025, Antoine Aizier has been President of the Drawing section of the Salon d'Automne in Paris, alongside Véronique Almarine.
Together, they defend a demanding vision of drawing, promoting artists whose practice is based on patience, precision and visual invention.
Their choices are oriented towards pure drawing, free from any artifice, whether figurative, abstract, contemporary or narrative.
Their commitment is reflected in rigorous selection, a requirement for graphic quality and a desire to promote drawing as an artistic discipline in its own right.
In 2024, Antoine was already coordinator of the section with Véronique, before taking over the official presidency.
Antoine defends a drawing that is neither a sketch nor a sub-genre, but an autonomous, accomplished, inhabited work.
For him, drawing is a vast, slow, deep territory — a complete, fully-fledged field of expression.
His commitment aims to revalue this practice in exhibitions, competitions, schools and collections.
He believes in a silent, intimate, universal design.
Each line is a word. Each point, a fragment of history.
