Yael Ohayon’s latest installation, “Samplings,” invites viewers into a world where wax becomes a powerful medium for expressing the depths of human experience. This exhibition is not just about seeing art; it’s about engaging with it on a profound, tactile level. “Samplings” consists of square wooden frames, each showcasing a unique wax creation, crafted through Ohayon’s skilled and deeply personal approach. These works are more than mere objects; they are reflections of emotions, memories, and a lifetime of mastering the art of wax.

In this collection, Ohayon explores the polymorphic nature of wax—mineral, vegetal, and animal—highlighting its ability to capture, preserve, and transform. The wax in “Samplings” melts and solidifies, veils and reveals, much like the ephemeral nature of thoughts and memories. Through her exploration, Ohayon liberates wax from its traditional uses, transforming it into a medium for artistic expression that resonates with the viewer’s own experiences.

What makes “Samplings” a must-see is the way Ohayon elevates wax into an artistic language, communicating stories of life and craftsmanship. This collection is a celebration of the material’s versatility and its capacity to evoke emotion, inviting you to connect with the artwork on a sensory level. The textures, colors, and subtle details in each piece beckon you to touch, to feel, and to experience the warmth and depth of the material.

“Samplings” is an extraordinary exploration of the beauty found in the ordinary, a tribute to the enduring nature of creativity and craftsmanship. This exhibition is an opportunity to witness the transformation of wax into a vessel for memory and emotion. Don’t miss this chance to let “Samplings” inspire your imagination and touch your heart.

Xavier Le Normand is a well-known figure in the world of contemporary glass art. He confronts the immediacy and perpetual movement of blowing the burning glass faced to the time invested when he reworks and resculpts the cold glass. The artist feeds his never-ending inspiration from his many travels throughout the world, where he encountered the very best, such as Monica Guggisberg & Philippe Baldwin. His sculptures seem like imaginary geographies, crossed by strange rivers or volcanoes; unknown gassy planets; multi-colored spheres that fascinate the viewer. His recent collaboration with luxury brand Dior showcased his ability to blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, solidifying his reputation as a leading artist in his field. His mastery dedication to pushing the glass material’s limits have earned him international recognition, including the prestigious Liliane Bettencourt Prize for the Intelligence of the Hand (2009), an honor that celebrates the highest level of craftsmanship and creativity. Le Normand has also been awarded the Lino Tagliapietra Scholarship, further underscoring his impact and influence in the world of glass art. His art is part of many important collections, including the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
“Boreal Abyss” will feature a curated selection of Xavier Le Normand’s latest works, providing a glimpse into his evolving artistic vision.

Henk Van Rensbergen stands as a pioneering figure in the world of urbex photography, transcending the boundaries of mere documentation to evoke deep emotional resonance through his work. A Belgian photographer with a profound connection to the hidden, decaying beauty of abandoned places, Van Rensbergen has carved out a niche that not only captures the eerie silence of forgotten spaces but also reveals their haunting narratives.
His photographs are more than images; they are portals into worlds where time stands still, where the echoes of the past linger in every shadow and where the viewer is invited to contemplate the inevitable passage of time. Through his lens, Van Rensbergen transforms decay into art, finding beauty in the neglected corners of our world. He is a master at using light and composition to bring out the textures and stories embedded in crumbling walls, broken windows, and deserted corridors.
What sets Van Rensbergen apart as the best in this genre is his ability to connect with these spaces on a personal level. His work is not merely a record of abandonment; it is an exploration of what these places represent. They are not just structures; they are remnants of human endeavors, dreams, and histories now left to the relentless forces of nature. His images speak to a universal experience of loss, memory, and the passage of time, making them deeply relatable and profoundly moving.
