ADOR Experience art gallery

Laura and Benjamin, both from the same course at École Boulle, obtained their diploma in crafts in wood carving respectively in 2007 and 2011. They explore a wide range of artistic techniques, from ornamental sculpture to furniture design, architectural models and window decorations. Their work reflects a fusion between tradition and innovation, where each piece is the result of a passionate exploration of material and know-how.

Within Atelier Benlo, two artistic worlds complement each other: that of the artisan, ensuring rigorous technical mastery, and that of the artist, bringing a dimension of audacity and originality. This creative synergy gives rise to sculptures that captivate with their harmony and expressiveness, offering a unique artistic experience to viewers.

Painter from Oléronnaise, granddaughter of an oyster farmer and fisherman. Christelle is fascinated by the Charente Islands.

In 2009, she discovered the private collection of aboriginal paintings by her friend Australian historian and writer Peter Grose. This encounter, which was a revelation, will launch his artistic career.

From this ancestral art, Christelle chooses to keep only the point. She imbues her works with movement, musicality, mineral nuances and invites us to a graphic reading of her maritime environment: between clearings and salt flats, fish locks and a stormy horizon.

“The earth vibrates, the colors dance and the surface undulates”
