ABOUT

Pascal Pistacio
Sculptures in bronze, plaster, iron, zinc, dibond, monumental sculptures, mobiles.

Pascal Pistacio is a plastic sculptor who works outside the mainstream and creates his own innovative, figurative and anthropomorphic language. Never renouncing his passion for sculpture and collage, his artistic life takes him on other creative paths; he becomes an actor, director and creates painted sets. In 2007, he returned definitively and exclusively to sculpture.

Pascal does not seek to render 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.” Pascal Pistacio does without it, and this, whatever the dimension of the pieces. He has made it the major axis of his reflection about balance.

Pascal also frees himself from faces to give body to the expressiveness and the life of the material, without artifice, in its fluid beauty. The emptiness then becomes matter, flexibility, vibration, fragility, strength and narration. Dancing figures, aerial bodies… Sketch takes precedence over thickness.

Minimalist or monumental, graceful or massive, Pascal’s sculptures are always open to the outside world and take on meaning and language in space, in a crossing world.
