Simon Chevalier is a French Artist
based in the south of France, near the Alpes.
Awarded in 2022 and 2023 by the Ministry
of Culture as one of the 100 best french designer.
In contrast to a world saturated with fast,
colorful, and loud solicitations to spectators,
he chooses to present static,
black and white pieces.
Simon creates large-scale, repetitive
geometric shapes to build sober
and precise graphic sculptures always
presented in public spaces on a high stand
in order to give them a symbolic function.
Conscious that society and its beliefs
are based on temporal recurrences,
he draw his inspiration from primitive
and brutalist forms.
Those symbols being invested by all kinds
of fantasies, memories and associations
of ideas, it gives to the sculptures
a spirituality, making them comparable
to instruments of cult and worship.
We all dream of a calmer, quieter
and cleaner future. As light has always
be a guide in the history of mankind
and well aware of the limitations
of technology Simon use LEDs
and electricity only to promote
a new path for our time.
