Dessine-moi une saison by PalomaPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

While the identity of a place is necessarily formed through its programming, its graphic identity is just as essential. It must reflect the tone, the ethics and the aesthetics of the room, and be for everyone. It is a real challenge, which always requires pencils.

Un logo qui fait mouche by TabasPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

A logo that hits the mark

It was the Marseille-based artist Tabas who would create this female face in profile with cloudy hair and cursive, soft writing; an incomparable promise of a dream that inspires many interpretations and clashes with the metallic and cold framework of the building.

Valparess, le super-Nîmois ! by Christophe Blanc - ValparessPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

Valparess, a Nîmes local par excellence!

Christophe Blanc – Valparess – regularly collaborates with Paloma on various projects: graphic design for the 2016–2017 & 2017–2018 season programs, portraits of drawn artists, murals, and illustrations for This Is Not A Love Song. He's a real jack of all trades!

Anna Wanda Gogusey, la rockeuse by Anna WandaPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

Anna Wanda Gogusey, the rocker

Anna is an illustrator and tattooist, and has created the illustrations for the last two editions of the This Is Not A Love Song festival (2018 & 2019). Impertinent and unbridled, her style is figurative, decorative and tinged with absurdity and irreverence.

Benjamin Flouw, l’optimiste by Benjamin FlouwPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

Benjamin Flouw, the optimist

We spotted Benjamin thanks to his participation in the Alternatiba book project, in the midst of COVID. His project, like his other productions, inspires the sweet, the good, and optimism: everything that we wanted in that anxious period. Challenge met with flying colors!

Camille de Cussac, le crush ! by Camille de CussacPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

Camille de Cussac, the crush!

Camille adds color everywhere, especially where you don't expect it! Her world is a joyful parody of ours, with heaps of uninhibited characters with purple skin, eccentric musicians, wacky ladies in period costumes and moustache-wearers in their underwear.
