21st Century Gorilla Bronze Sculpture CONGO by Pierre-Jean Chabert

About the Item

21st Century Gorilla sculpture CONGO by Jean-Pierre Chabert from France Bronze Sculpture Gorilla bust Rosini Foundry OUR STATEMENT “Pierre Jean Chabert shakes the codes of animal sculpture in each one of his creations. His Art, identifiable at first glance, combines a realistic and generous approach with a particularly subtle abstract dimension. Each of his pieces is a fine blend of balance between matter, emotions and the very essence of animal life. This same balance draws its full power in the interpretation of everything to everyone and in the juxtaposition between matter, the force of bronze, sublime, assumed, particularly evocative, powerful and emptiness allowing the mind to inscribe the work in a subjective and deeply intimate imaginary continuum. From then on, it is no longer the collector who owns the work but rather the work that owns the collector or the one who aspires to become its owner. Like unavowed obsessions, the creations of Pierre Jean inhabit us and mark our spirit with iron. Many are the sculptures of Pierre Jean Chabert that represent the absolute forces of nature in a quiet state, which stimulates the imagination in a silk case despite the contrast of the matter and the forces in presence. Movement takes shape beyond matter and emptiness becomes an integral part of our perception of life itself, it invites us on a journey. A perfect balance. It’s all there, it doesn’t take more. It’s sublime !” Galerie des Lyons "There are gestures we make in childhood, without knowing that one day they would influence our life choices or our entire career. This is undoubtedly how Pierre Jean Chabert's artistic destiny started." Pierre Jean Chabert - portrait After fifteen years of a hectic Parisian life, Pierre-Jean CHABERT settled in Tours, on the banks of the Cher, close to nature. From his childhood, he discovered the turning and modelling of clay in a farmhouse in the south of France, his native region. Drawing then became his preferred means of expression and allowed him to give free rein to his imagination. As a young adult and in parallel to his studies of comedy and body language, he learns by himself how to model the earth in order to make the heads of chimeras that populate his fantastic bestiary. At the age of 24, he collaborates with a director in the creation of several animated films, the first of which is entitled "Floyd, leapfrog". It is then a new exploration of the work of modelling which begins with the discovery of new materials, polymer pastes such as "Fimo" and "Super Sculpey". Thus, Pierre-Jean Chabert began to assiduously model heads, busts and characters, often coming from a fantasy and science-fiction universe. Through his research, he gets closer to worlds that were unknown to him until then, those of miniature sculpture and figurines. At the age of 30, he decided to take classes to study the living model. For three years, he deepened his practice with Philippe Seené; he produced nudes, portraits and animal pieces. He learns the techniques of moulding, resin, welding,... and has bronze pieces made for his first exhibitions. Thanks to the success of these exhibitions, his activity was enriched by private commissions and a growing freedom, dedicated to his personal creations. Pierre Jean devotes himself to what he loves most: letting his creativity vibrate, sharpening his sense of observation and developing his critical mind. Through his works, he allows us to share the privileged and precious moments of life that every artist needs to be free. He is one of those bearded artists, sometimes crazy, sometimes pensive, that we take pleasure in seeing evolve, and whose authenticity and precision of artistic gesture we like to see.

  • 21st Century Bronze Abstract Sculpture CORRESPONDANCE by Bernard Varvat, France
    By Bernard Varvat
    Located in Paris, FR
    Mr. Bernard VARVAT has been exhibited in the the most famous collector's Gallery of Paris and is now available on 1stDibs in exclusivity. Seek the Monograph: « Au fil du temps Bernard Varvat sculptor », Editions Lelivredart, 2020. “My work is focused on the search for forms and two forms are at the base of this search, the triangle and the curve, playing their participation alone or in association. The translation of my emotions leads to an abstract work. Abstraction places us outside our habits of thought; we cannot appeal to our ability to recognize; we must only refer to our own experiences and allow ourselves to rediscover first sensations, emotions. To go further than the imitation of the forms we have in front of us is for me the true creation. Our capacity to perceive is much broader than we think; but we must devote attention to it and allow ourselves the freedom to look at the work as it is, to accept what it gives us to think, according to our personal journey – this is a parenthesis of truth.” Born in 1944 • Lives and works in Provence in Bouc-Bel-Air • Regional Delegate Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur of the Syndicat national des sculpteurs et plastic surgeons (SNSP) • Member and Director of the National Society of Fine Arts (SNBA) • ADAGP Sculpture Award – 2012 • 1st Prize of Sculpture of the Grand Prix d'Argenson, Paris – 2002...
