Two stunning exhibitions at the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez
Here at the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez, art embraces architecture, strikes up conversations with the natural light and creates astonishing reflections and perspectives. Every season brings a new artistic encounter, courtesy of a selection of artists hand-picked for their unique voice, sincere expression and ability to resonate with the space without distorting its contours. Through this dialogue between art, design and landscape, our five-star hotel asserts a vision of luxury that allows room for sensitivity, imagination and that which is felt rather than spoken…
Patrick Rougereau’s “Punky Universe”
Magnetic and bewitching, the “Punky Universe” of this eminent artist, awarded the Order of Arts and Letters, invites visitors to immerse themselves in a world apart. From the hotel’s lobby to the rooftop, bronze, crystal and aluminium sculptures offer a poetic mise-en-scène. The fruit of Rougereau’s fertile imagination, they are the natural sequel to the artist’s photographic oeuvre, heralded for its aesthetic power and subtleness. Located near the entrance to the hotel’s Spa by Clarins, the photographic work titled “Fondre de plaisir” evokes sensuality and delicious indulgence. In the same vein, “Porte-Aiguilles” is on display at the entrance to the meeting rooms.
The iconic works feature ” Tribu”, depicting 36 miniature fish suspended in an airy, silent choreography, and a sculpted version of “Punky Fish” in crystal that delicately captures the ambient light. In the background, the “Punky Fish” photographic triptych unfolds its vibrant world.
The dazzling silver aluminium “Punky Fish” on show at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant “Les Toits” dazzlingly catches and reflects the sunlight. Its contemporary – almost liquid – silhouette strikes up a dialogue with the horizon and propels the artistic momentum all the way to the hotel’s summit. A little further on, a photographic work titled “Butterfly”, in the restaurant’s bay view, answers in echo, capturing the changing reflections of the water below in an artistic breath that prolongs the moment, as if suspended between movement and stillness.
A nod to the event “Les Chefs à Saint-Tropez fêtent les producteurs” (Saint-Tropez’s Chefs celebrate producers), the never-before-seen bronze works “Victoire” and “Saint-Honoré” celebrate the world of gastronomy. In them, Patrick Rougereau pays homage to France’s culinary expertise with daring visuals and subtle symbolism.
A one-of-a-kind exhibition, where art flirts with design, between sea and sky.
“Univers Punky” exhibition until October 12th, 2025 at the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez.
Iconic Trees of Life by Andrea Roggi
At the entrance to the Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez, a silhouette – Andrea Roggi’s work “Amore Divino” – stretches skywards, exalting the façade with its light, delicate forms. This Italian artist transforms dense matter into airy beauty. He has the rare ability to lend bronze the illusion of movement and fluidity. The tree – the core motif of his work – evokes nature, roots and elevation. Inspired by the ancient olive trees surrounding his studio in Tuscany, Roggi has transformed it into universal symbol of connection and growth.
From the first sketch to the final cast, the artist crafts each piece at his studio, “La Scultura di Andrea Roggi”. His dynamic casting technique, which he developed himself based on the traditional lost-wax method, allows him to play with positive and negative space, and light and dark, with a quasi-organic precision. “Amore Divino” is the perfect example of this: it is a work that is powerful yet instilled with delicacy, as if suspended between earth and sky. The astonishing duo “Una Nuova Vita Insieme – Yin & Yang”, shown in the hotel lobby, epitomizes Andrea Roggi’s continued quest for balance. Two silhouettes rise up as one, united in a circular movement symbolizing harmony and rebirth.
Our Spa by Clarins and restaurant-lounge bar Les Toits are open every day to both hotel guests and visitors. A wonderful opportunity to discover these magnificent works by Patrick Rougereau and Andrea Roggi.
