About the Item

21st century Gorilla Bronze sculpture HUMANITY by Jean-Pierre Chabert from France Bronze Sculpture Gorilla bust Rosini Foundry The sculpture tells a story about the language of the signs. Gorillas are able to learn around 100 signs and the Humans have been teaching them signs since long ago. One of the Gorilla decides to respond to the human in the most contemptuous way. The response of this Gorilla is a way to express his disagreement about the willing of Humans to control absolutely everything. If you take a closer look to the head of the Gorilla, you will notice a small hole. This hole can be interpreted in two different ways 1/ A shot from a poacher 2/ to symbolize the 1,98% of DNA difference that there is between a Gorilla and a Human. "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. 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.
