Award-winning chocolate artist Patrick Roger (Meilleur Ouvrier de France chocolatier 2000) has pursued a parallel body of longer-lasting work, creating sculptures in a variety of materials, including bronze, aluminium, silicone, marble, and concrete. He begins with chocolate as a base, working this malleable material quickly with techniques he has perfected over many years, before casting it. This book, the second volume of his sculpted works (Volume 1 was published in 2018), features 177 new creations that are described in detail and beautifully photographed. Further insight into Roger’s work is found in a notebook of contemporary inspirations and a reproduction of his personal sketchbook. Text in French.
