Thibault Hazelzet's Art style

Trained initially as a painter, Thibault Hazelzet now explores a diverse array of mediums including photography, sculpture, and painting, with a recent foray into metalwork resulting in a stunning collection of jewelry and design pieces.

His latest creations seamlessly blend ceramics with cast bronze, aluminum, or silver, showcasing his unique approach to "delicate brutalism" and his fascination with the interplay between abstraction and figuration. One of the hallmarks of his work is the fluid integration of various mediums, each complementing and enhancing the others, resulting in a cohesive universe of objects that maintain a consistent aesthetic despite the diversity of materials used.

Thibault Hazelzet's enigmatic constructions navigate the realms between figuration and abstraction, expressionism and minimalism, as well as primitive and contemporary art, exuding a wild power and a sense of pagan spirituality.
