Bambi revisited by the magical alliance of Michaël Cailloux and Frédérique Morrel
The exhibition, which celebrates the centenary of Felix Salten's iconic novel Bambi, takes on an exceptional dimension with the presentation of works by two renowned French artists: Michaël Cailloux and Frédérique Morrel.
Working for such illustrious names as Dior, Lenôtre, Bernardaud, Shiseido, Baccarat and Cartier, Michaël Cailloux, author of Bambi : la vraie histoire, takes us into the heart of his varied creative universe, ranging from the 17th century to Art Nouveau. His works, imbued with the very essence of the original book, explore a range of techniques from black ink drawings to mural jewelry, weaving a symbiosis of past and present. The refined details of her creations, featuring the tender deer Bambi, offer an enchanting fresco that traverses the seasons and the themes of existence.
Frédérique Morrel, a Parisian artist who collaborates with prestigious names such as Hermès, Philippe Starck and Paul Smith, lends a singular dimension to her woven creations, transcending the conventional representation of wildlife. Nurtured by Bambiesque inspiration since childhood, she builds a dreamlike bestiary where rabbits, deer, squirrels and other creatures become emissaries of the meanders of the unconscious. The stag, a majestic figure evoking the sovereign of the woods in Bambi's poetic universe, stands as nature's protector, embodying grace and renewal.
The exhibition, a world premiere in Switzerland, offers an immersive experience in which the fascinating creations of Michaël Cailloux and Frédérique Morrel merge in an elegant, timeless scenography. This harmonious dialogue, centered on the unchanging story of the young fawn, is nourished by the fertile imaginations of two exceptional contemporary artists.
