Galerie Chenel commissioned Mathieu Lehanneur to create the concept for their 60 square meters booth at the Biennale des Antiquaires, which opened to the public at the Grand Palais, Paris.

Mathieu Lehanneur’s design for the stand, with its mix of animate and inanimate materials and varied textures including marble and living greenery, pays homage to the timeless aesthetic beauty of the art and culture of the ancient civilization. It creates a framework in which each objects stands out yet in which they are all linked via a theme that transcends that of the period in which they were created.

“Trends in art come and go, and sometimes never come back. But the objects of the Roman civilization remain. In these accelerated times, archaeological works take on so much resonance and necessity. They appear as immutable signs of our civilization and the epic story of humankind”, explains Lehanneur.
