Monsieur Plant's Mossy Arms Hug Trees in Châtenay-Malabry
Christophe Guinet, who’s better known as Monsieur Plant, has introduced a new outdoor art piece called 'Tree Hug' at Maison Chateaubriand in Châtenay-Malabry, France. This installation features moss-covered arm sculptures that wrap around tree trunks, representing a deep love for nature. Some of the arms are positioned on the ground with open hands reaching up. This artwork is part of the Jardins Ouvert (Open Gardens) festival’s 10th edition, which offers over 200 green spaces and nearly 500 activities like art shows, concerts, theater performances, dance, and tours. 'Tree Hug' will be available for viewing from June 27 to August 30, 2026, with Guinet using natural materials for a temporary effect.
