French CeramicistCreates Adorable Blobby “Specimens” With Stone‑like Bodies And Tiny Faces Turning Alien Life Into Pocket‑sized Companions
Monsieur Cailloux is a Paris‑based ceramic artist and self‑styled explorer who has invented an imaginary planet, MRCX, populated by the “Cailloux Tribe” – small, blobby, stone‑like beings he sculpts in clay.
Each ceramic “specimen” is unique, hand‑built, numbered, and glazed with soft gradients, speckles and tiny faces, then presented as part of an ongoing “scientific” narrative about their behaviour, habitat and personalities, shared through exhibitions, his website and animated reports on Instagram. His work has been shown internationally (including Paris, Taiwan and the US) and featured in publications like This Is Colossal and Visualflood, positioning his poetic, deceptively naive universe at the crossroads of contemporary ceramics, character design and sci‑fi storytelling.
