Marc Chevalier<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Marc Chevalier has no preferred medium, he likes experimentation.
\nHe uses different fields of expression because his vision of art does not stop at a single medium.<\/p>\n

For the artist, a work of art is the meeting of the elements necessary for the perception of an idea by the viewer. The idea does not precede the making of the work, it develops during the research of this one and evolves according to a process of actions and feedbacks between form and content.<\/p>\n

What counts for the artist is the conjunction of elements giving meaning. Whether he sculpts, paints or performs, it is always the intensity of the signifier that guides his gesture. In the same way that his exhibition at the Eva Vautier gallery, Les tableaux n’existe pas, reinvents the vision of painting, Marc Chevalier transforms the codes of art by appropriating mediums and supports to create works that blend lyricism and the impulse of gesture.<\/p>\n

His practice is protean, each work has a multi-media inspiration: From a sculpture comes a drawing, a painting, a performance. Marc Chevalier’s work gives the impulse to step back, to give birth to an active contemplation in the viewer.<\/p>\n

His creative process is scientific and rigorous. To counterbalance a processual practice, Marc Chevalier adds to his installations a “decompensatory element”: a manifest of signifying data that allows him to understand his subject, his mechanism and to inscribe himself in a total immersion of his subject. Like her works The Flower That Pleased My Desolate Heart So Much and Apple Red Deflowering, the spigot and paws bring a droll touch to the work, a breath of fresh air in the artist’s methodical creative process.<\/p>\n

By concentrating on a sculpture, he feeds his painting. It is a journey between disciplines. Sculpture, installation, painting, performance are for the artist territories or chapters of the same work which are fed thanks to the back and forth between the mediums. Experimentation allows for the active enrichment of one’s artistic approach, thus perpetually evolving one’s thinking and one’s work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
