Hôtel de Crillon Hôtel de Crillon, Paris

Set within the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, this intimate exhibition brings together five artists—Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen, Pierre Bonnefille, Morgane Pasqualini, Olga Sabko, and aurèce vettier—offer distinct interpretations of the natural world through four deeply personal mediums. Each artist works with a different material to translate nature into something contemplative and enduring.

aurèce vettier, a hybrid art project by Paul Mouginot, begins in the digital realm—generating imagined tree forms through AI algorithms he himself designed and trained. Mouginot ventures into the forest to replicate the forms using real branches, which are then cast in bronze. The final gilding—applied by the renowned French atelier Studio Gohard in gold leaf and palladium—bridges machine vision with human craftsmanship.

He also translates his AI-generated “impossible herbariums” into oil on canvas, using one of art’s most traditional mediums to give form to digitally imagined botanicals.

Together, these works offer varied perspectives on the natural world—each shaped by a distinct process, material, and sensibility.
