Artist BioPascal Pierme is a Frenchman who settled in Santa Fe in 1997. Prior to that time, he had gained a European reputation as a promising young sculptor. He held a series of solo exhibitions in France and Switzerland and worked on collaborative projects with Pierre Cardin and others. Pascal's career has blossomed in America. He has been awarded several commissions for large-scale installations. Galleries and collectors alike have responded to the simplicity of his approach, which balances 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 as well as creating bronze-like patinas on non-metallic surfaces. He works with a variety of precious woods and creates sculptures that express the texture, aroma, and strength of each.Pascal considers wood to be a versatile and dynamic material - warm, colorful, full of surprises, and not always easy to control. This versatility translates into the diverse range of sculptures he creates, showcasing the adaptability of wood as a medium. Many of his sculptures display elegantly swelling contours and subtle curves, reflecting the natural beauty and flow of the organic material.Conversely, Pascal also embraces more angular themes in some of his works, such as his Fleche (Arrow) series, demonstrating the contrasting aspects of wood as an artistic medium. In these pieces, the wood responds with a robust presence, showcasing its strength and resilience. This duality in his artistry highlights Pascal's deep understanding and appreciation of wood's unique characteristics, allowing him to create visually striking and thought-provoking sculptures that captivate viewers and collectors alike.Pascal's technique is interactive. Each work of art is characterized by a graceful balance and meticulous attention to detail. Even as he carves and burnishes, he allows the piece to guide him. Artist's Statement"Wood has its own intelligence," he says. "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." - PascalCurriculum VitaePASCAL PIERMEResume Born: St Raphael, France 1962 EDUCATION 1975 -1980 Art History and Technique, St Raphael, France1980 -1982 Aerograph Technique, San Diego, California SELECTED ART-RELATED Artist in Residence, Chinese European Art Center - Xiamen, ChinaRuinart Champagne Project - Miami, FloridaCuratorial ''1002 Project'' Calvin Charles Gallery - Scottsdale, ArizonaART in Schools, 42 child participants, E.J.
