KARIM CHARLEBOIS - VOLUME II
October 22 – 27, 2026
Pairing a wide retrospective with new, unreleased work, the exhibition centers on a live, five-day carving station. Working entirely by hand with only gouges and chisels, no power tools, the artist transforms a raw block of wood into a finished sculpture as shavings accumulate organically on the floor.

The works examine how material behavior and experimentation can lead to unexpected outcomes, ranging from tactile, gentle forms to more structured and solid pieces.
