Clémence Gouy takes women’s game to centre court in Paris

In bold tones and bigger-than-life scale, Clémence honours two basketball champions with a powerful mural reclaiming space for women in sport.

In an homage to two French 3x3 basketball champions, Clémence Gouy created an on-court masterpiece. Transforming the asphalt at Paris’ Centre Sportif Philippe Auguste, the artist depicted Olympian Marie-Ève Paget and U23 World Cup winner Anna Ngo Ndjock in a vibrant giant-scale face-off.

These portraits dominate the court in a powerful duotone of deep purple and basketball-orange, with corners marked by fierce gargoyle-like dragon heads.

It’s a mark of women taking up space in sports environments and a worthy tribute to two players who rule the court, literally and figuratively.

"It’s been an honour to draw their portraits, in particular portraying these sportswomen as warriors in an urban space where the male presence is often omnipresent.”

A Fabulous Feminist Future.

Alexandra Bokova was asked to create a new ident for MTV that would go live on the iconic channel over International Women’s Day. Aleks’ animation takes us from the patriarchal past to the “fabulous feminist future” – as the artist says. “I wanted to reference the vast topic of IWD and my personal vision, while playing with the crazy and experimental style of past MTV idents.

Aleks's three female forms ride a pink cheetah through a lush, magical jungle in her beautifully globby 3D style, landing in giantesses' hands that lift them skywards representing women raising women.

Travel broadens horizons.

In bold splashes and golden hues, Josephine evokes the spirit of travel across a 30-metre mural and eight bespoke illustrations for newly-opened Hong Kong hotel, Ying’nFlo. Launched for a new generation of urban explorers, Ying’nFlo wanted to create a fresh and exciting visual identity that conjures the magic of travel.

For Josephine, adventure opens our eyes to the colourful joy of the everyday – a warming aesthetic that’s become her trademark. Re-immersing you in those endless summers spent with friends, Josephine’s work calls to mind halcyon times, making it the perfect fit for a hotel made for young travellers. Playing with perspective and punctuating the scene with colour and character, Josephine creates a series of full-of-life illustrations that spill over the hotel, inside and out.

Brought to life with the help of HK Walls, the mural adorns the hotel’s exterior for an eye-catching moment in Hong Kong’s bustling Wan Chai district.In her serotonin-boosting style, she features people strolling, skateboarding, snapping selfies and sharing memorable moments across the city in a creation that makes you feel part of the magic. Indoors, Josephine’s individual illustrations decorate the walls and are splashed across a vending machine, a vast array of merch and even a Rais-wrapped table football.

Venture to Hong Kong and you might spot Josephine’s colourful creations swoosh past you. As part of the collaboration, her illustrations wrap around two of HK’s iconic trams–locally known as Ding Dings–and a station, bringing her bold palette and fluid designs to the city’s iconic transportation too.
