In parallel with the exhibition The Miracle of the Sun, we are pleased to present in the showroom a selection of works by Benoît Lefeuvre and Alexia Chevrollier.

From March 15 to April 12, 2025

​

Both artists develop an artistic practice attentive to the transformation of materials and the memory of forms. Alexia Chevrollier explores matter through sculpture, painting, and installation, playing with textures and the metamorphosis of elements. Benoît Lefeuvre, meanwhile, alters photosensitive surfaces to reveal abstract landscapes that exist between traces and erasures. Their shared approach focuses on phenomena of deterioration, disappearance, and persistence. Through layers, superimpositions, and sensitive experimentation, they question our perception of time and memory, inviting viewers into a poetic contemplation of the world's metamorphoses.

​

Alexia Chevrollier, born in 1989, graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Dijon and from Paris-Sorbonne University in art theory research. Her work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in France (Centre Pompidou-Metz, Le Parc Saint Léger – Centre d’art contemporain, ART-O-RAMA, Galerie Interface, La Cantine d’Art Contemporain, among others) and internationally (Les Brasseurs art contemporain, Métaculture Cultural Center). She has also received and been shortlisted for several awards (winner of the CRAC Young Audience Prize in 2018 and the Jeune Talents Côte-d’Or Prize in 2013, finalist for the Talents Contemporains 2013 prize of the François Schneider Foundation, among others), and has participated in several research and creative residencies (La Villa Belleville, Light Cone, etc.).

​

Alexia Chevrollier is an artist who shapes new visual and aesthetic territories around notions of time, movement, and the history of matter. Her practice spans sculpture, painting, video, and installation, consistently questioning our perceptions of materiality. The projects she develops also create a dialogue between art and craftsmanship. Through the plurality of media she employs, Alexia collaborates with a broad spectrum of French artisans, sometimes engaging with nearly extinct professions, such as that of the master charcoal maker.

​

This exploration of gesture and craftsmanship offers a new way of circumventing industrialized systems, blending different worlds together. She is fascinated by the organic nature of each element, but above all by the way materials respond to the gestures of artisans—gestures she orchestrates almost like a choreographer in order to accompany their potential transformations. In doing so, she opposes the modern linear conception of controlled craftsmanship and instead embraces experimentation.

​

Born in 1994, Benoît Lefeuvre is a visual artist and photographer who lives and works in Paris. Fascinated by the way time shapes our perception of the world, he seeks to visually reveal the invisible processes that shape both collective and individual memory. Using photosensitive materials whose chemical agents have decomposed naturally or through manipulation, he creates abstract works that evoke natural and dreamlike landscapes. He draws inspiration from natural phenomena such as the erosion of coral reefs, interpreting them as metaphors for the transformative process of memory.

Committed to an ecological artistic approach, Benoît Lefeuvre prioritizes the use of pre-existing materials considered non-functional or forgotten, from both an aesthetic and ecological perspective. This approach allows him to explore unpredictable and unstable outcomes while highlighting the aesthetic and symbolic value of the remnants left by time.
