Alexia Chevrollier

With training in visual arts (ENSA Dijon, 2012) and a strong background in aesthetic theory (Université Panthéon-Sorbonne, 2018) and critical thinking, Alexia Chevrollier (b. 1989 in Sens) is an artist who loves to experiment. She puts materials to the test in her multidisciplinary and often collaborative practice, which combines sculpture, painting, video, photography and installation.
Her work has been shown in several group and solo exhibitions in France (Centre Pompidou-Metz, Le Parc Saint Léger-Centre d’art contemporain, Galerie Bertrand Grimont, La Villa Belleville, ART-O-RAMA, Galerie Interface, La Cantine d’art contemporain…) and abroad (Les Brasseurs art contemporain – Liège, Metaculture Art Centre – Kyiv).
The artist was also the recipient and finalist of several awards (winner of the CRAC’s Prix Jeune Public 2018 and Prix Jeunes Talents Côte-d’Or 2013, finalist in the François Schneider Foundation’s Talents Contemporains Award 2013…) and took part in several research and creation residencies (Prismes, La Villa Belleville, Light Cone…).

“Alexia Chevrollier uses the gestures and history of human crafts to explore the indeterminacy of matter — its shapes, its physical properties, its transformations and its temporalities. She experiments with the binding of glass as it cools, the intensity of rust as it appears, the gravity and sagging of fresh clay as it drops. The movements of matter as the hand of the artist or craftsperson guide it are the protagonists of her work, which, far from being fixed, is a slowly evolving but perpetual process made to remind us of the existence of an invisible temporality.” (Licia Demuro, 2019)
