Last updated

Sylvie Rivillon (born 1959) is a French sculptor. Her works in stone, terracotta, wood and bronze often display layers of shapes. Often rippling and natural-looking contours are contained within, emerge from, and merge with shapes suggesting boxes, casings, and architectural structures. Works by Rivillon have been exhibited or installed at exhibits in France, Germany, Belgium, Andorra, Spain, Greece, Korea, Taiwan, the United States, and Japan. Since 2005 her activity has included the creation of monumental sculptures. Her initial works in the genre, Elevation and Construction Around a Wave, are installed in the cities of Kaohsiung and Hualien in Taiwan.
