Gabriel Leger (1978) is a French visual artist who lives and works between Paris and Athens. His work is a poetic meditation on how we emotionally relate to time and space. Using materials that predate human history (bitumen, copper, meteorites…) as well as ancient artefacts, he creates installations in which the present and the past are brought into resonance.

His practice draws on a wide range of historical and scientific references, from archaeology and astronomy to literature. Each piece is made by the artist alone or in collaboration with specialised artisans, with a strong commitment to craftsmanship. Minimalist in form and exacting in detail, his works reveal as much as they conceal, leaving space for the viewer’s imagination.

Gabriel Leger has held solo exhibitions in France and Germany. Most recently, he was commissioned to create a new body of work for the Orient-Express (2026), and invited by the French National Monuments Center (CMN) to develop a site-specific project at the Villa Kerylos (2025). He has also participated in group exhibitions at venues such as Musée du Louvre, Fondation Lambert, Fondation Fiminco, Fondation Leclerc, and the IAC-Institut d'Art Contemporain de Villeurbanne. He is represented in the public collections of the Cnap (National Center for Visual Arts, FR), the Art and Archaeology Library of Geneva (CH), and the Black Gold Museum (SA).
