SYMRISE X MARIANNE GUÉLY
For this extraordinary collaboration with the 6 talented perfumers from Symrise, Marianne GUELY, a plastic artist specializing in paper scultpure, has conceived a multifaceted and multimedia work inspired by nature, a subtle blend of paper, alabaster, and cedar wood.
Her medium, her best friend, paper, is also a material close to perfumers, it accompanies them infinitely in their creative processes. So it’s only natural that for this artwork, Marianne Guély used her favorite neutral PH white-cream paper as a blank canvas for olfactory imagination, “Rhapsody and counterpoint of white papers on Wood and Alabaster.”
With the multidisciplinary talents of the studios, artists, craftsmen, and sculptors, the tree metamorphoses, it becomes hybrid, vegetation, mineral, flowers bloom like a sculptural landscape.
An inspiration that is tactile, visual and olfactory.
