Christophe Gaignon: Mirrors Between Art and Function
Artist profile · November 4, 2026 · South Hill Home
A profile published by South Hill Home examines Christophe Gaignon’s approach to sculptural mirrors: his research into a historic Venetian technique, his colored glass and the optical effects of his work.
The article traces how the self-taught artist, who learned among antique dealers and decorators, became interested in 1999 in an old Venetian method of making convex mirrors with silver amalgam, then taught himself how silver oxide reacts with glass. Gaignon works with glass tinted in the mass, shaped and finished by hand, which makes each mirror one of a kind.
