Magnificent Multifaceted Sculptures
Born in 1963 in Lyon, France, artist Xavier Veilhan creates multifaceted sculptures that are strikingly modern. Though he works across a variety of mediums, his sculptures stand out because of their jagged edges or brightly lacquered paint. Back in 2009, his work was displayed in the Garden and Royal Court of the Palace of Versailles, including a 50 foot long coach and horses in purple. Veilhan purposely chose that complex color in order to conjure up ideas about the monarchy and royal power. It was the first work encountered upon the entrance to the exhibit.
