Description

One of the pioneers of virtual and digital art, among the most significant artists on the contemporary scene

Chevalier's work takes a variety of forms: monumental-scale digital installations, 3D printing and laser-cut sculptures, robot drawings and virtual reality models. Using software designed by computer experts, this visionary artist creates generative and interactive installations that invite visitors to explore the space in a sensory way. His oeuvre is experimental and multidisciplinary. Taking references from the history of art and reformulating them using computer tools, his works explore recurrent themes such as nature and artifice, flows and networks, virtual cities and ornate designs. His images are a rich source of insights into ourselves and our relationship with the world.
