| Eri Maeda, a Paris-based Japanese ceramic artist, presents her solo exhibition “Come Meet the Monsters,” featuring vibrant, playful ceramic sculptures that resemble whimsical creatures.

Rather than simply viewing the pieces, visitors are invited to share the same space with the “monsters,” creating an immersive experience. Highlights include the vernissage and the collaborative event “Dining With Monsters,” where food inspired by the artworks explored themes such as fermentation and transformation. Through the fusion of ceramics, food, and human interaction, the exhibition offers a unique perspective on the complexity of our inner worlds. |
