Joël Faivre-Chalon (1953-2020)

Artist list

Joël Faivre-Chalon

Trained in Strasbourg and based in Montpellier, Joël Faivre-Chalon has never considered jewellery as a simple ornament: his jewels are the fruit of patient research into form (rather refined), technology and materials. Joël Faivre-Chalon was just as comfortable with brass and silver as he was with innovative materials such as titanium, Formica® and carbon fibre.
 
Thanks to a collection of archives, photographs, drawings, sketches and a corpus of works and prototypes generously entrusted to the museum  of contemporary jewellery by the artist's wife, the exhibition retraces Joël Faivre-Chalon's artistic career and sheds light on his creative process.
 
Guided tours, workshops, a monograph (to be published in December) and a booklet distributed free of charge at the museum reception desk will help visitors discover the exhibition and the work of this artist who left his mark on his era.
