Art takes to the skies (and the air) in Paris's 8ᵉ arrondissement with Élan Vital, the outdoor exhibition by Italian artist Andrea Roggi, in partnership with the Comité du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Galeries Bartoux. Seven aerial, poetic bronze sculptures take over the public space between Madeleine and Concorde from April 17 to July 12, 2025.

Notice to strollers, art lovers and walkers of 8ᵉ who have their noses in the air - From April 17 to July 12, 2025, sculpture steps out of its pedestal and into the open street! With Élan Vital, when form reveals the invisible, Italian artist Andrea Roggi signs a freesculptural exhibition and that rhymes bronze and poetry with public square.

Seven giant works, six magical open-air stops, planted between Place de la Madeleine and Concorde. Contemplative pauses to (re)discover the artist's famous "Trees of Life":

  • Ápeiron - Place de la Madeleine
  • Noi due, un solo Cuore - 54-58 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
  • Élan Infini, Il Futuro è nelle Radici and Fecunditas - Place Maurice Barrès
  • Un Nuovo Mondo - Junction of rue Royale and Faubourg Saint-Honoré
  • Energia della Vita designed in partnership with American jeweller Martin Katz - Hôtel de Crillon

Here, bronze is lightened, matter takes flight, and technique meets emotion. Roggi doesn't sculpt, he breathes movement, grace and an energy that overflows the pedestal. Each work is a window onto the invisible, a dance step frozen in metal.

An open-air exhibition orchestrated by the Comité du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Galeries Bartoux, to make the cobblestones of Parisian chic vibrate. This summer, Paris goes bronze... with Élan Vital!
