His practice is protean, with each work inspired by a multi-media approach: from a sculpture comes a drawing, a painting or a performance. Marc Chevalier's work provides the impetus to step back and actively contemplate.

To counterbalance a processual practice, Marc Chevalier adds a "decompensatory element" to his installations: a manifesto of meaningful data that enables him to understand his subject and its mechanisms, and to immerse himself totally in his subject. Like her works La fleur qui plaisait tant à mon coeur désolé and Défloraison Rouge-pomme, the tap and legs add a droll touch to the work, a breath of fresh air in the artist's methodical creative process.
