Seven Glass Talents to Discover at Révélations

Under the light of the Grand Palais' glass skylights, glass comes to life in the hands of exceptional creators. Sculpted, blown, thermoformed, or assembled, it is reinvented into unique works specifically designed for the occasion. At the crossroads of technical mastery and artistic sensitivity, this fascinating material becomes a true field of experimentation.

Translucent or textured, radiant or velvety, glass plays with light to reveal its poetry. Each creation tells a story, evokes an emotion, and invites a new perception of space through the lens of the material.

Révélations shines a spotlight on nearly fifty artisans with outstanding glassblowing craftsmanship, who elevate this demanding material with elegance and creativity. Here’s a focus on seven of them.

Atelier Faucher (France)
New exhibitor at Révélations 2025

Mélanie Faucher, a glass artist specializing in contemporary stained glass, reinvents traditional techniques through a distinctly modern approach. Drawing on ancient skills such as glass painting and wheel engraving, she creates unique works where glass becomes both an artistic medium, architectural element, and light filter. Her work is driven by two dynamics: continuity in traditional glassmaking arts and a reimagining of them in a contemporary context. Each creation represents a dialogue between heritage and innovation, aesthetics, and functionality. Stained glass is no longer merely ornamental; it becomes partitions, walls, light sources, and above all, a true work of art. Through her custom stained glass pieces, Mélanie Faucher transforms spaces and invites a rediscovery of the expressive richness of glass art.

Charlie Larouche-Potvin (Canada)
New exhibitor at Révélations 2025

Charlie Larouche-Potvin is a glassblower and designer artist based in Montreal, recognized for his contemporary approach to blown glass inspired by Venetian traditions. A graduate of Espace Verre in 2020, he furthered his practice in Murano with master glassblower Davide Fuin and at the Corning Museum of Glass (USA). His international journey led to residencies at the Jam Factory (Australia), Sheridan College (Ontario), and the Chrysler Museum (USA). Winner of the RBC Glass Prize in 2024 and the François-Houdé Prize, he is currently an artist-in-residence at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. His work explores the balance between traditional forms and fantastic aesthetics, where irregularities become marks of expression.

Verre Kobalt (France)
New exhibitor at Révélations 2025

Kim Marchal develops a unique practice in contemporary stained glass by working with simple window glass, often recycled, which she thermoforms on molds created in her workshop. By shaping her own molds from clay or plaster, she masters each step of the creation process, giving the glass unique textures and reflections that resemble the movement of water. She combines this melted glass with brushed brass to create a subtle contrast between shine and opacity, transparency and material. Her intertwined compositions, inspired by the aquatic universe, come to life as wall-mounted lighting fixtures and decorative vases, where each piece reflects a balance between art, design, and the poetry of material. Through thermoformed glass and material recycling, her approach embraces a contemporary and responsible aesthetic.

Song Inbeom – Cheongju Craft Biennale (South Korea)

Song Inbeom is a contemporary glass artist who explores the relationship between the pictorial gesture and the material through the medium of glass. His work resembles brushstrokes materialized in space, like marks projected onto a three-dimensional white sheet. Each piece is born from the interaction between heated glass and the physical phenomena that arise during the creation process. Using glass as a medium for artistic expression, Song Inbeom questions notions of relation, balance, and perception. His glass installations reveal the vital energy inherent in the material, translating the interaction between different masses of glass, as well as between the work and the human gaze. At the intersection of glass sculpture and conceptual art, his approach gives shape to a unique visual language rooted in the materiality of glass and its narrative potential.

Glass is prominently featured, as demonstrated by the emblematic work of this 7th edition of Révélations: Rock Mountain#1 by Danish-Swedish glassblower Maria Bang Espersen.
