Angélique de Chabot — À propos — Slash Paris

Angélique de Chabot graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Rueil-Malmaison. Her work explores the living and the sacred through masks and sculptures that combine organic materials, from the precious to the monumental. Since 2018, she has developed a sacred bestiary, first revealed in her monumental exhibition Surgissant du Nadir (Château Malromé), featuring a 30-meter dragon with oyster and charcoal scales.
She later created processions of animal masks, such as Meute, presented at the Aix-en-Provence Biennale, Art-o-rama, and in dialogue with the Lyon Biennale (2022). Based at POUSH since 2023, she continues to explore myths, the sacred, and animal symbolism, notably through her Leviathan sculptures and tapestries made in Gabon.
The Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature commissioned her for the 2024 Bear Festival, with the performance restaged at the Palais de Chaillot. Her universe also unfolds in locked retables, revealing initiatory secrets and inviting viewers to perceive the sacred as a bulwark against domination.
