About the Item

Born in Grenoble, French sculptor Étienne Pirot [Étienne] spent his childhood and his youth in the "Dauphiné" province. He went to University in Ottawa (Canada) and back in France, he obtained a degree in plastic arts in Marseille. Then he became a student at the "Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts" in Paris and an art teacher from 1974-1976. Étienne's works deal with every single aspect of life, many of them a reflection of strong moments - human, spiritual or artistic encounters. Abstract to some extent yet always figurative, all these works are symbols. For his first creations, he used marble, stone and wood. But soon he opted for bronze, a material that enables him to play with solid and hollows. Étienne breaks up his subjects, he makes them pure n cleaving to their essence -a hand, a face, a look to reach a stable, well balanced harmony-constructive and expressive. Such a metal also makes it possible for him to explore the chromatic diversity of patina an d play with colour graduation, including the polished finish. With unflagging obstinacy, he conceives his sculpture as a means to defend the basic values of human being: love, motherhood, friendship, faith. In short, he believes that a thing of beauty is a thing for ever. So, for thirty years now, Étienne has been displaying his work through various exhibitions or commissions at home and abroad. As early as 1972, his work has been regularly showing in galleries and taking part in numerous group exhibitions. Since 1990, major personal exhibitions have been organised in galleries or tying in with events winning intense media coverage From 1994 on, Étienne reaches the International Art Market by showing in different countries as United States, Belgium, Holland and China since 2004 and has permanent exhibitions in various galleries all over the world. At the same time, his institutional commissions are growing, coming from Thomson, Cap Sesa, Bouygues, the city of Grenoble, the Hénin bank, the city of Paris, Michelin, the Museum of Modern Art and the city of Guangzhou… Besides these exhibitions, Étienne is frequently commissioned by cities and private or religious organizations, resulting in high praised monumental works such as figures in the round, bas-reliefs, fountains or furniture items. Étienne's art belongs wherever everyday of life and symbols come together, and can be found in religious places and urban spaces. Whether for enterprises or individuals, the Étienne's touch is always required. Étienne lives and works in Paris and St Martin de Re
