Matter & Shape 2026 seen by Nicolas Coulomb

Photography Nicolas Coulomb

If you're the type who finds yourself staring a little too long at a beautifully folded napkin or the way light hits a clay vase, let this be your heads-up. Matter and Shape's 2026 exhibition is, as always, dedicated to the quiet magic of form, texture, and the hands that make them. It's the kind of show that rewards a slow walk and a curious eye. Think sculptural ceramics, considered objects, and pieces that blur the line between art and the everyday, all brought together under one roof at the Jardin des Tuileries. Consider this your permission to go stare at nice things for a while.
