A French visual artist with a multifaceted work, Xavier Veilhan creates sculptures with polygonal facets questioning universal representation and the concepts of generics and industrialization. Beyond the 3D scanner, the artist also experiments and uses installation, painting, photography and performance in a hybrid way...

As a student, Xavier Veilhan frequented with stage fright the very emblematic places that are the cafés Costes or Beaubourg where people come, among other things, to see and be seen. So when Thierry Costes asked him to intervene at the Café Germain, Xavier Veilhan imagined something ambitious: just like buildings that are built around a tree, the statue of Sophie crosses two floors, at once decorative, surprising and imposing, it creates a link and is integrated into the establishment.
