Madé Taounza
Born 1961, Paris, France. Lives and works in Paris, France.
Fifteen years ago, Madé Taounza established his first photo gallery right within his own agency, Eyemade Photographers, which he’d founded at the beginning of the 1990s. He envisaged his passionate relationship with the image from a double perspective: from portfolio to wall, from artist representation to exhibition. Since then he has promoted photographic creation via his mission as a gallery owner. Fashion, still lifes, and the portrait are the main areas of expression of the artists he presents in Galerie Madé, such as Jean-François Lepage, Mark Steinmetz, and Steve Hiett, to mention just a few. He is also a board member of the Club des Directeurs Artistiques. Between 2004 and 2006, he was the president of Agents Associés, a union of photographer, illustrator and graphic designer agents.
