Serena Carone's trompe-l'œil ceramics debut at Perrotin Paris
Perrotin's Marais space hosts its first solo exhibition of French artist Serena Carone, featuring enamelled faience sculptures with trompe-l'œil effects. Carone blurs reality and illusion by transforming everyday objects into poetic and unsettling visual experiences. She began her career tricking the postal service by painting stamps with a magnifying glass and miniaturist's brush, sending letters from abroad that arrived safely, postmarked and approved. She later expanded into three-dimensional trompe-l'œil works, creating cameras and phones.
