ALEXIA CHEVROLLIER
Alexia Chevrollier, born in 1989, graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art de Dijon and the Paris-Sorbonne University with a degree in art theory research. Her work has been shown in numerous group and solo exhibitions in France (Centre Pompidou-Metz, Le Parc Saint Léger-Centre d'art contemporain, ART-O-RAMA, Galerie Interface, La Cantine d'art contemporain, etc.) and abroad (Les Brasseurs art contemporain, Centre culturel Métaculture). The artist has also won and been a finalist for several awards (winner of the CRAC Young Audience Prize 2018 and the Côte-d'Or Young Talents Prize 2013, finalist for the François Schneider Foundation's Talents Contemporains 2013, etc.) and has completed several research and creation residencies (La Villa Belleville, Light Cone, etc.).
Alexia Chevrollier is an artist who shapes new artistic and aesthetic territories around the notions of time and movement, and the history of matter. She articulates a body of work encompassing sculpture, painting, video, and installation, constantly questioning our perceptions of matter. The projects she develops also constitute a dialogue between art and craft. Through the plurality of media she employs, Alexia Chevrollier collaborates with a wide range of French artisans, sometimes engaging with nearly extinct professions, such as that of the charcoal burner. This exploration of gesture and know-how is a new way of circumventing an industrialized system, thus blending different worlds.
She is fascinated by the organic nature of each element, but above all by the reaction of matter to the gestures of the artisans, which she will design like a choreographer in order to accompany its potential transformations. She thus opposes the modern linear conception of controlled craftsmanship and encourages experimentation.
