What we do

Joan Mitchell studio in France, 1957

We focus on studio visits in the Paris area. When a one of us needs a crit, she lets us know and we organize the other artists to meet at her studio. It provides us with time for critical discussion and for meeting other peer artists and building community.

Our mission is to form a group of international, English speaking, working women artists, as well as curators, critics, collectors and professionals in the arts willing to engage in interesting, critical, ongoing discussion about an artist’s work-in-progress.

We provide and support a network of serious, working artists in the Paris area.

If you are a working artist, have a studio in the Paris area or if you are a curator, a writer or a professional in the arts and would like to attend our visits, please just write to us in the contact.

Meet the Founders

We are two working artists who moved to Paris from different parts of the world and we both struggled with similar challenges when we arrived. We found it difficult to meet other international artists, and there was no context in which to build relationships and carry out ongoing, intellectual conversations about our work and ideas.

When we first met, we shared our experiences and realized that there had to be more of us, enough of us to create a community, so we founded oneATELIER.

We hope that oneATELIER will provide women artists in Paris with a much-needed way to find friendship and ongoing, productive, critical conversations. And we think that the intimacy of our ateliers are the best places to have them, one at a time.

    After living in the UK for many years, fate and Brexit brought Peihang Benoit to Paris at the end of 2019, right before Covid. Peihang realized that, although she found herself in one of the greatest cities in the world for artists, not having studied in France nor having any previous context with Paris, meant that she spent much of her time working alone in the studio, without an artist community to engage with.

    She wishes that there had been a community like oneATELIER when she had arrived in Paris.

    About:
    Peihang is a graduate from Chelsea College of Art and National Taiwan Normal University. Originally from Taiwan, she spent her childhood in the U.S. , studied and worked in the UK, and is now based in Paris with her family.


    She explores time, space, memory and identity in her overall practice. She has created a poetic, personal language in paint of intimate, everyday perceptions whose roots are traceable back to her family history of displacement and her more recent migratory and cosmopolitan experiences.
