Pouvoir faner, vouloir fleurir – Marc Chevalier
Exhibition
From 14 December 2024 to 18 January 2025
Galerie Eva Vautier is pleased to present for the second time a solo exhibition by artist Marc Chevalier. After his first exhibition in 2020, Marc Chevalier offers us a dialogue between recent works and older pieces.
A graduate of the Villa Arson in Nice in 1993, Marc Chevalier participated in the creation of La Station (artist run space) in 1996. After an artistic journey that took him from Paris to Berlin, he returned to Nice in 2012, where he continues his experiments today. For him, the idea does not precede the work, it is developed during the making of the latter, according to actions and feedback between form and content.
An artist with a protean practice, he explores different modes of expression, refusing to limit himself to a single artistic language; thus we can see the remanences of a drawing, a painting or a performance shine through a sculpture. Each work bears witness to a multi-medium inspiration, through which the viewer's perception is constructed and refined. Marc Chevalier gives the impetus to take a step back, he invites us to experience active contemplation.
