Miyu is an independent animation production and distribution company, awarded in the most important festivals, founded in 2009 by Emmanuel-Alain Raynal and co-directed since 2015 by Emmanuel-Alain Raynal and Pierre Baussaron. In 2022, they co-founded Galerie Miyu and were joined by Delphine Duroy who took over the direction of the gallery.
The Miyu gallery, the first physical gallery dedicated to the arts and techniques of animation in the world, aims to be a bridge between animation and contemporary artists. The gallery’s intent is both to offer a space to promote the plastic work of animation filmmakers, but also to inscribe animated techniques in the History of Contemporary Art at a time when more and more visual artists are seizing the possibilities offered by these techniques in their work.
Miyu thus becomes a global label to promote and showcase the talent of international animation filmmakers who have developed plastic and visual works around drawing, sculpture, painting, installation and video, using animation techniques. The gallery aims to reach everyone and will be a place of creation and meeting for contemporary artists who aspire to use animation techniques for their works via production and exhibition support.
The gallery also aims to reach everyone, as its purpose is to emerge as a place of creation and support for artists who aspire to use animation techniques for their works.
