Since it started in 2004, Frédéric Magazine has been an online podium for contemporary drawing. On an almost daily basis, Frédéric presents work by artists, no matter what their frame of reference, technique, medium or country of origin. Next to the five founders of the site (Isabelle Boinot, Frédéric Fleury, Emmanuelle Pidoux, Frédéric Poincelet, Stéphane Prigent ) the site counts about fifty regular contributors, who all had to accept one limitation : they had to lose their fist name and become a Frédéric.

The site works as a virtual gallery, and a rigorous selection process guarantees a consistent level of quality, without giving in to the grandiose. Frédéric stands for an intimate and humble view on the art of drawing and its products. Rather than drawing for an external purpose, be it telling a story or illustrating an outside message, Frédéric focuses on drawing as an autonomous form of expression, with its own codes, and without any representative or narrative intention.
