A Loose Lamb In A Jungle

Michaël Cailloux (France b. 1975)

""GARDEN PARTY "

Michaël Cailloux has been passionate about drawing since childhood and could never stop sketching and doodling everywhere he went. He graduated from the renown École Duperré School of Design in Paris in 1998 with a dissertation dedicated entirely to the 18th century fly.

In 1999, Michaël Cailloux launched the company Atelier LZC that created unique commission pieces for prestigious brands such as Baccarat, Cartier, Habitat, Van Cleef & Arpels and S.T. Dupont.­ In 2009, the artist began exploring new creative fields and expanded his skill set by training in jewelery making and etching.

The fly, a symbol of both life and death with references to still life paintings of the 18th century, became his signature. His work won a prestigious Gravix award in 2015 and was featured in the book “Encore! The New Artisans” published by Thames & Hudson the same year.
