Patrick Roger Inaugurates Roger Garage Gallery with Bronze Sculptures in Paris

Patrick Roger, known for his chocolate creations, has inaugurated a new gallery, Roger Garage, in Paris with an exhibition of his bronze sculptures. The gallery is located at 4 Place Saint-Sulpice, 75006 Paris, near the Saint-Sulpice metro station. The exhibition runs until September 20, 2026, and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00 to 13:45 and 14:30 to 19:00, with free entry. The show features raw, cold materials transformed into sensitive and warm works, suggesting that bronze can become fluid like chocolate. Central to the gallery are stacked bronze plates imprinted with fingerprints, creating an illusion of movement in the frozen material. Roger states that chocolate is merely a pretext for his true obsession: sculpting. Visitors leave with questions about everyday objects, their practicality, and utility, and may fantasize about washing hands with a sculpted Marseille soap, lying on a hard bronze bench, or grasping a heart displayed in a vitrine. The exhibition marks Roger's transition from chocolate to bronze.
