DD / Dessin Dixit

For the second year, Ensba is organizing an exhibition in September dedicated to drawing practices at school, echoing the IF Illustration Festival and the Lyon Art Paper drawing fair. After DD / Dessins Divers, which celebrated the variety of graphic gestures practiced at school, the 2026 edition focuses on the links, more or less close, that drawing can maintain with representations-sources.

The photographic image, the video, the film, the archive (historical, scientific, personal...) are all original elements from which drawing can operate, with varying fidelity, forms of transposition in a wide spectrum, between copying and the most distant reinterpretation. The exhibition DD / Dessins Dixit thus explores the different processes at work in this relationship that unites the drawing to its source(s).

Exhibition proposed by Fabienne Ballandras, Olivier Nottellet and a group of students from the Ensba Lyon. The artists presented in the exhibition are all students and staff of the school.
