Earlier this year, we visited the Montreal studio of Charles Paradis .

Charles Paradis is a Montreal-born artist currently based in London. He earned his BFA from Concordia University in 2020 and is completing his Master’s at the Royal College of Art .

His practice centers on staged environments that merge interior spaces with landscape, exploring ideas of refuge, control, anxiety, and constructed reality. Through these constructed spaces, Paradis examines the relationship between architecture, environment, and the psychological spaces we inhabit.

His work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 2026, he was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant.

We were glad to encounter Charles and his work in Montreal earlier this year, and look forward to following its continued development.

To our Montreal community, we’re reintroducing The Evening Critique Club.

An open session for artists and collectors to discuss work in progress, share honest feedback, and build community centered on figurative and small-scale practices, while welcoming adjacent approaches.

Selected artists will present one artwork for group discussion in a relaxed setting, or attend as collectors curious about process and studio practice.

Held on a recurring basis, in different spaces. Details shared with the list before each session.

Interested in attending or presenting work? Message us to join the list. We’ll share upcoming sessions and confirm spots by DM.

Galleries, studios, or spaces interested in hosting a session can email us at [email protected].

Introducing Studio Visits #01

The first edition from Croyds’ studio-visit archives.

Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of visiting artists in their studios and seeing how their ideas take shape.

These encounters have deepened our understanding of the work not only through the finished pieces, but through the questions, connections, and choices that lead to them.

This edition brings together three studio encounters.

Featuring:

Slide 3: Charles Paradis Studio Charles Paradis
Slide 4: Catherine Prince Studio Catherine Prince (Cat)
Slide 5: Bengisu Yazici Studio Bengisu

Photographed by Gabriel Liviu

Each set includes three 4 × 6 inch photographs and a short Croyds curator’s note written specifically for this release.

The photographs are not explanations of the artists’ work, but records of the spaces and encounters surrounding it. They offer another way to look.

Available now for $15 CAD, shipping included.

We’re delighted to have visited Bengisu studio and to share a closer look at her practice. Istanbul-born and Montreal-based, Yazıcı is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with ceramics and jewelry.

Her work investigates the limits of nonverbal language through form, extremity, and facial expression, asking what the body can communicate when words fail. In her practice, visual language becomes a bridge between inner and spiritual experience and the material world we inhabit.

Featured in this carousel is You Will Give Birth to Yourself (2026), a stoneware work measuring 8.5 × 9 cm, currently available through Croyds.

Tune in next Tuesday as we share photos from our studio visit with Bengisu , a Montreal-based, Istanbul-born multidisciplinary artist working primarily in ceramics and jewelry.

Yazıcı’s practice investigates the limits of nonverbal language through form, extremity, and facial expression, exploring what the body communicates when words fail. For her, visual language forms a bridge between inner and spiritual experience and the material world we inhabit.

✣ Alicja Skolicka 𓃢 ✣ chose the bat as a recurring beast in her work for its rich symbolism and the completely different way it experiences life. Based in Cracow, she works across oil painting and ceramic sculpture, building a personal mythology shaped by folklore, Gothic romance, and the space between the mystical and the mundane. Her work Two Dancing Souls is available now via the Croyds Gallery website.
