Xavier Veilhan (born in 1963, lives and works in Paris) has since the late 1980s created an acclaimed body of work (sculpture, painting, installation, performance, video, photography) at the intersection of classicism, modernity and technology. His exhibitions question our perception and often generate an evolving ambulatory space in which the audience becomes an actor, like for Veilhan Versailles (2009), the series Architectones (2012-2014), Studio Venezia (2017), his proposition for the French Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia. His projects often involve collaboration with artists from other fields, such as architecture, music and fashion. He designed the visual universes for three Haute Couture shows for Chanel (2022-2023).
