Discover the hilarious boxes of Gaspard Mitz associated with the precious three-dimensional vanities of Sébastien Crêteur.

Inspired by 1/87 scale model figurines, Gaspard Mitz created his first Box Story in 2010 as a gift to his girlfriend. Self-taught, carried by the enthusiastic reactions around his stories in boxes, he has since had fun staging characters of 2 centimeters in situations that exceed them.

Jewelery objects, such as music boxes, cuckoo clocks and works by artist Joseph Cornell, have always appealed to him. Admiring Japanese aesthetics, he builds his scenes in sober, refined universes, working with a selection of materials: wood, polystyrene, foam sheets and paper.

Gaspard Mitz takes pleasure in integrating classic museum works with contemporary creation. He diverts the figurines from their primary function, by inventing a tailor-made destiny for them. The humor and poetry of the moments he freezes in his boxes are reinforced by the titles that accompany them.

Sébastien Crêteur offers us, for the first time, two precious vanities, one in silver and gold and the second in almost pure gold of 23.75 carats. The striking effect of these three-dimensional paintings associated with precious metals or intense colors is perfectly associated with the perfectly mastered execution of these unique pieces.
