May’s colors, textures, and sense of renewal seem to be essential ingredients in Paris-based artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet’s exuberant work. A self-described “spring and summer boy,” his expressive drawings—often made in watercolor or oil pastel—of vases, chairs, and other elaborate home furnishings have served as the basis for vibrant installations, including a sprawling creation inside Paris’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the yachting décor of a pop-up at the city’s Hôtel de Crillon, and hand-painted frescoes at the Hotel des Arts in Toulon.
