La Valette-du-Var: Dialogue between sculpture and digital art
Le Moulin art gallery presents "Chrysalide", featuring a dialogue between PHILS' sculptures and Jérémie Roussier's digital art.
The City of La Valette-du-Var presents "Chrysalide", an exhibition bringing together two artists with distinct yet complementary universes: metal sculptor PHILS and digital artist Jérémie Roussier.
Offering an unprecedented dialogue between raw material and poetic image, the event was inaugurated during an opening reception on October 27. The central theme of the gathering is transformation, explored through unique artistic approaches.
Two universes in dialogue
Jérémie Roussier is a digital artist who fuses photography and digital illustration to compose poetic works. His creations explore the deep connections uniting humans with nature, blending them into landscapes dominated by plant and mineral elements.

Playing on the contrasts between shadow and light, he draws inspiration from music, cinema, and myths to question the relationships between life, matter, and spirit. His work invites contemplation on humanity's place within its environment.
Opposite him, PHILS deploys a radically different yet thematically connected approach. A metal sculptor, he has been shaping the material from a very young age. His path, which first led him to object creation and set construction for performing arts, evolved toward a sculptural practice where fire and fusion are his main tools.
He operates a true metamorphosis of metal, giving birth to organic and powerful forms that seem to release the imagination contained within the raw material.
A poetic metamorphosis
The exhibition "Chrysalide" takes its name from this idea of transformation and rebirth. It stages a conversation between the gentleness of Jérémie Roussier's images and the raw power of PHILS' sculptures.
This confrontation between two mediums creates a dynamic where nature and matter, image and volume, gentleness and power question and respond to one another.
The event aims to be an invitation for visitors to take a fresh look at the forms surrounding them, discovering the infinite possibilities of artistic metamorphosis. It is a sensory experience that promises to question the perception of reality and creation.
Please note...
The exhibition is open to the public until Friday, November 20 at Galerie d’art Le Moulin, located at 8, avenue Aristide-Briand.
