Sorbonne Artgallery has the pleasure to present the Notre Dale Palimpsestus exhibition of Patrick Rimoux.
Patrick Rimoux is a light sculptor. Light is his element, his substance, his work, which he shapes and enchants. Since childhood, he has been fascinated by shapes, volumes and materials: he experimented with many of them before turning to the art of light. So, after training as a teacher of new technology, he went on to study at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, notably in the studios of Claude Viseux and Piotr Kowalski. With them, Patrick Rimoux unleashed his creativity and embarked on a passionate exploration of light: cinema, photography, architecture, painting, sculpture... light is everywhere and essential. From then on, he set about bringing light to life, making it palpable and a messenger of emotions.
In the 1990s, he founded the Patrick Rimoux Agency, tried his hand at a number of projects and seized the opportunity offered by Belgium to work on large-scale programs. Since then, from the Grand-Place in Brussels to the Freedom Towers in Johannesburg, from the Palais de Jaïpur and the Centre de la Francophonie in Quebec City to the French Embassy in New Delhi, from Geneva to French Guiana via the Abbey of Dourgne, from the Art Basel fair to the facades of the PS1/MOMA and the Payne Whitney mansion in New York, from the Gare du Nord in Paris to the parliaments of Brussels and Notre Dame in Paris, the agency has been working on architecture all over the world for 35 years. We produce both permanent creations and exceptional, ephemeral events. We draw on walls or make entire districts vibrate. She magnifies the sculptures of other artists and architects (Kengo Kuma, Franck Gerry, Sou Fujimoto, Jean Marie Duthilleul, Nicolas Michelin, Richard Texier, etc.) or composes her own works in galleries such as Minsky Paris, Weinstein San Francisco and Akar Prakar New Delhi.
Insatiable, curious, open-minded, a lover of history and culture, Patrick Rimoux is teeming with ideas and tirelessly questioning himself. However, one thought - like a leitmotif - remains eternally anchored in him: to produce wonder through light, in order to touch the deep and spiritual in everyone.
