Galerie Koronin is delighted to present the captivating work of artist Gilles Roux. Recently, his project entitled “CERN Medieval” was highlighted. This exclusive exhibition took place in the main building of CERN. Consequently, his artworks sparked admiration from a unique international audience.

Indeed, Gilles builds an anachronistic bridge between two opposite worlds. Everything seems to contrast cutting-edge science with the sacred art of meta-illumination. However, the artist achieves this fusion with incredible strength.

A Ongoing Work in Progress

Currently, the “CERN Medieval” project represents a true revival for the artist. In fact, this work in progress clearly stands out from his previous dark period. Therefore, Gilles is now exploring a much brighter, colorful path, resolutely turned towards the future of science.

A Scientific and Sacred Aesthetic

First of all, the artist reinterprets the complex structures of particle accelerators. The famous ATLAS detector becomes, for instance, a gothic rose window or a cathedral nave. His acrylic paintings are signed under his artist name “Gilles de Rouxville”. In addition, they incorporate ancient lettering, coats of arms, and rigorous ornamental patterns.

Thus, modern physics acronyms like LHC are embedded into gothic arches. These arches are enhanced with delicate gilding. As a result, scientific research transforms into a true visual and mystical poetry.
