From April 2 to June 29, 2025, the Power Station of Art, in collaboration with the Fondation Cartier, will present '...de la vallée', a solo exhibition by French artist Fabrice Hyber. Building on his 2022 showcase at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, this exhibition brings together over 70 key works spanning more than three decades, alongside 20 new pieces created specifically for Shanghai.
Since its founding in 1984, the Fondation Cartier has been dedicated to fostering contemporary art on a global scale. As a multidisciplinary platform, it extends beyond visual arts to engage with architecture, design, fashion, philosophy, and science. This latest collaboration with Fabrice Hyber continues their long-term partnership, transporting the creative essence of his homeland in western France to Shanghai.
A visionary artist, Fabrice Hyber moves fluidly between disciplines, weaving together painting, performance, installation, and even entrepreneurial projects. His work blurs boundaries, drawing on mathematics, neuroscience, forestry, history, astrophysics, and themes of love, the human body, and evolution. Since the 1990s, he has transformed his hometown in Vendée, France, by planting 300,000 seeds of diverse tree species around his family’s former sheep farm. This evolving forest has become the heart of his artistic exploration. As he describes, “I plant trees as I plant symbols and images... I scatter seeds of thought that take root and grow—I am no longer in control.” Growth, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas lie at the core of From the Valley.<
