About the Item

John Poché creates polished aluminum and stainless-steel kinetic sculptures. His works range in scale from small indoor tabletop works to large-scale outdoor sculptures triggered exclusively by wind. His elegant sculptures are a combination of traditional metalworking techniques alongside cutting-edge software technologies, a synthesis he has spent years studying and refining. Poché states, “Each work is unique, but the real wonder of kinetic sculpture is the constant motion that keeps the pieces from ever appearing the same. There are limitless looks and positions for every rotating element.” John Poché is a New Orleans based artist and a graduate from Tulane University. His kinetic sculptures have been exhibited throughout the nation. In addition to exhibitions with Octavia Art Gallery, he has shown with Cavalier Galleries, NY, CT, MA, and FL. His works have also been included in the following outdoor exhibitions in New Orleans: Art For Arts’ Sake, White Linen Night, Jammin’ on Julia Street and Luna Fete. Poché is currently working on finalizing a sculpture for M.A.D. Gallery, a division of the watch company MB&F, with locations in Geneva, Hong Kong, Dubai and Taipei. Most recently, his monumental outdoor sculpture Ten Limbs Akimbo White has been accepted to the prestigious Kinetic Biennial in Boynton Beach, FL and will be on display throughout 2023.
