Sculptural Chair by Parvine Curie
Material: Bronze, black patina
Dimensions: H 95 x 45 x 65 cm
Year: 2014
Parvine Curie was born in Nancy, France, in 1936. An autodidact, her artistic career took off in the early 1970s. When she exhibited at an art fair in Paris her monumental sculpture First Mother (inspired by the birth of her son David Marti in 1960), she drew the attention of the famous sculptor Francois Stahly, who immediately recognized their artistic affinity. She participated in various of his projects and it was under his influence that she reached maturity as an artist. Gradually her artwork became more compact and structured and she developed a preference for classic materials such as stone, wood and bronze.
Parvine Curie and Francois Stahly got married in 1975 and together the couple traveled all around the world to visit historical and sacred places, which are an important source of inspiration for Parvine Curie. Her art is imbued with the sacred, it’s a dialogue between architecture and sculpture. For Parvine Curie megaliths, Persian apadanas, Babylonian ziggourats, Egyptian and Mexican pyramids, berber matmatas, caravanserai, mosques and gothic and roman cathedrals are the metaphors of the way towards another world, a return to the primitive mother origin, which she seeks to capture in her sculptures. Firmly fixed in history of antique and medieval civilizations, the older pieces are austere, rigorous, static and strong.
In 1979 she won the prestigious “prix Bourdelle” and constructed a monumental relief, in clear iroko wood, Conversation for the law court of Nancy. In 1980 the architecture-sculpture Portes de la Nuit was set up at the park of the Museum of Meudon. She created the Fontaines-Champignons in 1981 as well as another monumental sculpture entitled Mere-cathedrale . In 1984 she had a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Troyes and subsequently realized a door in bronze for the Murbach roman abbey and a marble Monument for the Nazi victims, a Meudon city order.
More travels followed, which inspired sculptures like Personnage Cadac, Le Voyageur, Samarka, Petite-Mère retour, Envol, Personnage Burkha, Mains but also jewelry. Characterized by dynamism through imbalance and elevation, softness and weightlessness, her work gradually became more abstract and broke with the hieratic aspect of the older sculptures.
In 1995, the Orangerie de Chateau in Meudon organized a retrospective exhibition of her oeuvre. She exhibited sculptures in The Fougeres Castle Park in 1997, and in 1999 at the Maeght gallery and the Pedralbes monastery in Barcelona. In 2012 she had a retrospective exhibition in Angers.
In 2006 Francois Stahly died and one year later she also lost her son David Marti, a poet and painter. This marked a new departure in her work with sculptures like Personnage au portique and La Grotte des doigts.
Parvine Curie carries on with her artistic work and meets with international acclaim. In 2021 the Centre de Pompidou acquired her work and she participated in the exhibition "Women in Abstraction". A retrospective exhibition was held in the Museum of Modern Art in Troyes (23 June 2023 - 14 January 2024), entitlled '' Parvine Curie, un monde sculpté / Parvine Curie, a sculpted world''.
