Since ancient times, the Egg has been a good sign all over the world, symbolizing life, luck, wealth and health. It was a symbol of the cosmic sublime. It is praised in religions and, to this day, we see it everywhere. Who would have thought, that a product, that we see every day on our table, could have so much meaning and mysticism.
Frédéric Bau
Frédéric Bau, a famous French pastry and chocolatier, also known as a Creative Director of the Valrhona chocolatier, the creator of Dulcey Blond chocolate and the founder of L’École du Grand Chocolat Valrhona, has been exploring the basics of a new healthy and virtuous baking with the help of a scientific and artistic approach. This is what prompted him to create an exhibition L’Œuf, de Mains de Maître dedicated to the mysterious Egg, “an endless source of inspiration in art and craftsmanship”.
Fifty pieces of art crafted from chocolate, wood, metal, ceramics, and other materials, were showcased at the exhibition. These works are created by a group of chefs and artists, who have gathered forces for this collaborative project. The initiative is backed by Pierre Hermé and endorsed by the material sculptor, Patrick Roger.
Christine Lambert
The artist presented an Egg with a newborn, eating chocolate. In his work he uses earth as a way of self-expression. His pieces are roasted in the oven, in patina or smoking. His masterpieces draw inspiration from the natural world and globetrotting adventures.
This photo was created in the style of “Winged”, the tribute to female lines and communication between nature and a human being. Despite the fact that the egg is decorated with rose thorns, it symbolizes fragility, protective power and elusiveness. The plant protects this “life”, becoming like a mother taking care of its offspring.
Cédric Grolet
His main muse – gastronomy and the environment in which he lives every day. He identifies his work as “At the table”. “Each person has its own fried egg, cooked with a little taste and a lot of love”.
Nicolas Bernardé
Being a culinary photographer, in the creation of the work for the exhibition, he was inspired by his photography “Be different” with 780 eggs, that served to creat a sculpture made from 564 white eggs, with only one egg which is unveiled, to symbolize its distinction, to radiate amidst its counterparts, to boldly emerge, to exist in a unique manner.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
