Pascal Pierme

Mural wood abstract sculpture deep blue and earth tones by Pascal Pierme.

2020

Pascal's career has blossomed in America. Galleries and collectors alike have responded to his approach's simplicity, balancing geometric abstraction with organic form. There is an undertone of symbolism as well, a hieroglyphic shorthand that hints at other visual languages. Pascal was influenced from a very young age by his grandfather, a wood sculptor. It was from him that Pascal developed his love for wood and his passion for working with it. He creates an extraordinary range of abstract meditations that seem to arise directly from the material itself, rather than from a conscious plan. He has an extraordinary rapport with his materials, concocting his own varnishes and resins and creating bronze-like patinas on non-metallic surfaces. He works with various precious woods and creates sculptures that express each's texture, aroma, and strength. as he carves and burnishes, he allows the piece to guide him. "Wood has its own intelligence, it knows many things, and it teaches them to me. In this way, I understand what I want to do with it so that the final image reflects its innate qualities as well as my own thoughts and feelings." - Pascal Pierme. His contemporary wall sculptures have been exhibited in over 150 national and international art galleries since 1990; in addition to permanent public and private commissions, and corporate collections throughout the world.ever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
