Fresques et aménagement de la cour intérieure de l’ancien évêché par Maximilien Pellet

The villa Noailles has invited Maximilien Pellet for a year of artistic commissions. He has created two exhibitions in December 2023 as part of the Pitchouns festival for young audiences, and will sign a work for each event throughout the art centre’s programme in 2024.
Maximilien Pellet was born in Paris in 1991. He graduated from the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2014, and made a name for himself at the Jeune Création show in 2018, before taking part in Design Parade Toulon in 2019 in a duo with interior designer Zoé Piter.
Long involved in coordinating the Villa Belleville, the artist now works in Fontenay-sous-bois, where for several years he has been developing a singular body of work in faience at the crossroads of contemporary painting and decorative heritage. Through the question of decoration, the artist deploys a personal poetry linked to the history of representations and popular imagery.
Since 2020, the Double V gallery has given him several solo exhibitions. His work has been shown at Art Paris, Art Rotterdam, Arco Madrid and the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Maximilien Pellet has worked extensively in the fields of architecture and design, with India Mahdavi, Peter Marino and Studio KO. He has also created several large-scale murals as part of architectural projects, notably with the Cheval Blanc hotel group. In 2023, he will bring his work to the general public with a collection of utilitarian objects he has signed with Monoprix. In 2024, a solo exhibition will be devoted to him at the first edition of Ceramic Brussels in January, and at the Double V Paris gallery in April.
