The Lefranc Bourgeois competition, Sport is an Art

Lefranc Bourgeois opens competition to challengers!
SPORT IS AN ART

A major painting competition at the most prestigious art and design schools in France and Italy

Lefranc Bourgeois organised a major painting competition in the most prestigious art and design schools in France and Italy to celebrate the launch of its new Huile Fine range. The theme of the competition was sport, a fitting choice just a few months before the Olympic Games, offering participants the opportunity to express their artistic talent.

We are delighted to announce that the competition is now closed and to congratulate the winners from each participating school. Each winner received a prize of €1,000 (incl. VAT) in Lefranc Bourgeois products. Special congratulations to Raquel Nache Lopez from RUFA school, who won this great competition, and to the winners from each school!

An exceptional jury, comprising artist Rakajoo, Fluctuart co-founder Nicolas Laugero, Beaux Arts magazine director Solenne Blanc and Lefranc Bourgeois, will unveil the winner on June 17, 2024. Rakajoo, known internationally as much for his art as for his sport, the boxer-artist will be present at the Sport is an Art vernissage on June 27 at the Charbonnel boutique. Beaux Arts Magazine is also part of this exceptional jury, and is the number 1 magazine in the art press, dedicated to the visual arts in all their forms and periods. Fluctuart is the latest member of the jury, and the world's first floating urban art center! A place for art, life and celebration.
