Xavier Roux

New-York based French artist, Xavier Roux regularly exhibits in New-York city since 2002 (Whitney Museum of Art, Leroy Neiman Gallery among others) and works in a variety of media ranging from monumental installations to works on paper and canvas.  He namely gained attention for his tumble-washed canvasses. Roux’s works reflect on questions related to anticipation and future, the random or the determined. 

Roux  was involved in various participative public art projects, notably the Artist Studio Project in collaboration with the Yahoo Research Lab at Berkeley. The project was an experimental exploration of the role and place of the artist in our society.  He was the recipient of several prizes involving major commissions such as the San-Francisco Art Commission in 2008 or a large commission work in a public space in Taipei, Taiwan.

Roux is also a regular contributor in various publications and media programs. He participated to TEDx Fulton Street in New York City in 2014.
