Raphaël Barontini is a 36-year-old visual artist who graduated from the Beaux-Arts in Paris and Hunter College of Art in New York. His works "creolizing images" have already been exhibited by many museums and galleries around the world, notably through well received showings in the United States ౼ from Savannah to Fort Worth and most recently in Chicago.
In 2020, he was selected by LVMH Métiers d'Art for an artist residency in Singapore’s Heng Long tannery, renowned for its exceptional expertise and know-how in tanning and finishing crocodile leather.
The entirety of his pieces created during his residency as well as several pieces that represent his overall work were showcased at Acacias Art Center in July 2021.
Raphaël Barontini’s SOUKHOS exhibition, the culmination of his LVMH Métiers d'Art artistic residency, was organized in partnership with Reiffers Art Initiatives and with the support of the Mariane Ibrahim Gallery.

BLU MARBLE
The artist Sebastian Errazuriz presents his latest artwork "blu Marble" as part of a new campaign by the e-cigarette company blu. A production signed Mazarine New York.
2019 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first person to walk on the moon. Three years later, Apollo 17 flew its final lunar mission where the team took the famous "Blue Marble" photo that shows the first image of the Earth from space.
Sebastian Errazuriz honors this iconic photograph by bringing it to life with a monumental outdoor sculpture that broadcasts a live video of the Earth via a NASA satellite: "blu Marble." Mazarine New York has demonstrated a 360° level of expertise in making this art project visible both on the Lower East Side and on the facade of the New Museum.
For the inauguration, Mazarine held a private launch at Galerie Richard Taittinger featuring the artist and an exhibition documenting the project.
A renowned guest exclusive to this date: Mike Massimino, former NASA astronaut. Known for being the first person to tweet from space, he will share his unique perspective on "blu Marble".
