The artist does not seek to account for the form, but rather to suggest an attitude, a movement, a character, an emotion. Brancusi said: “The base must be part of the sculpture, otherwise I do without it”.
Pascal Pistacio does without it, whatever the size of the piece is In fact, he has made it the major axis of his reflection about balance His works play with gravity.
Pascal Pistacio also plays with the threedimensionality of his art. Each viewing angle offers a truly renewed perception of the work.
He links the artistic experience to the common experience and thus addresses themes that he often draws from mythology or art history, such as virginity, childbirth, money etc. The titles of his works are also very important.
He tries, from an individual and singular destiny, to give back to his sculpture what was left behind with abstraction: its capacity to evoke the human being, its universal and humanistic dimension.
