Exhibition Statement

Dialogues brings together a series of encounters between artists whose practices expand the boundaries between functional art and collectible design. Structured across Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris’ three floors, the exhibition unfolds as a sequence of conversations in which materials, forms and artistic languages meet. Rather than presenting individual practices in isolation, the exhibition invites viewers to consider how artistic languages evolve and how different generations and approaches can converge around shared craftsmanship, experimentation and the expressive potential of functional objects.

Léa Mestres

Léa Mestres

Léa Mestres is an experimental French artist who seeks to counter a design world that she sees as too serious and too male-dominated. She uses play, humour and whimsy as aesthetic devices to create colourful, anthropomorphic, larger-than-life sculptures that act as windows into the artist’s vivid imagination.

Thibault Hazelzet

Thibault Hazelzet

Thibault Hazelzet is an experimental French artist whose practice spans sculpture, photography, painting and jewellery. With works that are instinctive, poetic and grounded in a deep respect for materials with prior lives, Hazelzet describes his visual language as delicate brutalism – a play of raw materiality and formal finesse, where abstraction meets figuration.
