Carpenters Workshop Gallery Presents Dual Exhibition by Martin Laforêt and Léa Mestres
The Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London presents a joint exhibition called 'Small Car, Big Windows,' showcasing the talents of French artists and designers Martin Laforêt and Léa Mestres. This exhibition delves into how journeys and movements through ever-changing landscapes shape perspectives and observations. While each artist maintains their distinct practices, they also collaborate on innovative sculptural designs, including tables, seating, and lighting, which provide a glimpse into their lifestyles and its impact on their artistry. Frequently transitioning between Paris and Brittany, they observe the evolving northern French landscape, contrasting the stark urban concrete with the natural beauty of the countryside. Their latest collections embody these ongoing shifts between environments. The exhibition is currently available for viewing at the gallery's London site.
