THE DREAMERS GALLERY works with artists across exhibitions and publications.
The following selection reflects ongoing dialogues within the gallery.
Abel Llavall-Ubach (b. Paris, France)
Abel Llavall-Ubach is a French photographer whose work moves between portraiture, still life, and landscape. Shaped by an early practice in video and stage performance, his images are constructed with a strong sense of scenography, where light and composition quietly unsettle the conventions of studio photography.
Favoring softness over precision and muted tonalities over contrast, his photographs exist in a suspended temporality—figures and places appear at once present and distant, as if removed from a fixed moment. Whether working with human subjects or empty sites, his images often suggest a lingering presence rather than direct narration.
His work has been featured in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Télérama, and M Le Monde, and exhibited alongside artists such as John Baldessari and Robert Longo. He lives and works in Paris.
Françoise Watin (b. Algiers, Algeria)
Françoise Watin is a French painter whose work is informed by a life lived across geographies, from Algeria and Tahiti to Paris. Trained in both visual art and dance, her practice moves fluidly between mediums, including watercolor, gouache, ink, and oil.
Her paintings draw from a sustained attention to landscape and color, shaped by travel and long periods of observation. Whether working in illustration or painting, her approach remains direct and intuitive, allowing form and atmosphere to emerge through process rather than construction.
She has collaborated with publishing houses and theater institutions in France and the United States. She lives and works in Normandy.
Jana Renée (b. Ithaca, NY)
Jana Renée is a Texas-based painter and muralist whose work moves between studio practice and large-scale public interventions. Trained in classical painting, her work combines elements of portraiture and surrealism with a contemporary visual language developed through mural-making.
Her practice is rooted in storytelling, often exploring themes of identity, community, and transformation across different formats and audiences. While her public works engage directly with place, her studio paintings retain a more intimate and constructed approach to image-making.
Her work has been exhibited in institutions and galleries across Texas and Massachusetts, and she has completed numerous public murals throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area. She lives and works in Fort Worth.
