About

Pierre Cerciotti is an artist from France, he became acquainted with stone sculpting at the age of twenty, which in turn helped trigger his interest in artistic creation and brought him to the Ecole;Art Avignon to study the art of sculpting. Instead of embarking on his creative career immediately after graduation, he decided to first travel around the world while working along the way. Ten years of traveling eventually landed him in Monte Carlo as he turned 30, and there he was hired by Blake Ward, a Canadian sculptor who owned a local studio in the region. Cerviotti worked as an assistant for Ward over the course of 5 years. This left him with solid artistic training, and made him proficient in using a wide range of sculpting materials such as ceramic, gypsum plaster, resin, wax, bronze, and Carrara marble. He later went on to officially obtain an artist certificate in France and began his own artistic career. Not only did he work with renowned foundries like the Italy-based and the Paris-based, but also held solo exhibitions in countries like France, Spain, Japan, and the Netherlands, where he gained widespread acclaim.

His creations reflect the wanderings that have made up a large portion of his life. As an artist who enjoys traveling around to observe different cultures while exploring what local nature has to offer, he has a habit of keeping track of what he encounters along the way. As far as he is concerned, starting to create something new is like going on an adventure, but that doesn’t mean he throws away what has been accumulated from the past. On the contrary, he constantly looks back to find usable materials and turn them into fuel to push creation forward. It is through these constant creative practices that he has eventually succeeded in developing his own visual language.

In addition, his concern for human existence has caused his creations to focus on conveying the tenacity of life, regardless of whether the artwork itself is a dancing figure or a mythological recount. His series goes even further to express the idea that, instead of being lonely individuals isolated from other forms of life, all living beings on Earth are inextricably interconnected with one another. His adoption of the liquefied bronze technique also implies that he sees the nature of life as something that derives from a mixture of random circumstances, which inevitably results in enigmatic and elusive qualities that resound in his sculptural creations. Carrying with them historical remnants and cultural fragments through a continuous process of changes and transformations, these art pieces manifest complicated and distorted appearances. Moreover, the merging of these images represents not only an aesthetic arrangement that is beyond reason, but also a fleeting glimpse of life in movement, as streams of consciousness surge within it.
