PIERRE SALAGNAC IS A BRONZIER, A SCULPTOR, AND A DRAFTSMAN. A GRADUATE OF THE RENOWNED ÉCOLE BOULLE IN PARIS, HE DEEPENED HIS KNOWLEDGE IN THE THREE TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES THAT DEFINE THIS CENTURIES-OLD CRAFT: ASSEMBLY, TURNING, AND CHASING.

AFTER HAVING LED SOME OF THE LARGEST FRENCH BRONZE WORKSHOPS FOR TWENTY YEARS, PIERRE SALAGNAC NOW FLIES WITH HIS OWN WINGS AND FULLY DEVOTES HIMSELF — UNDER HIS OWN NAME — TO HIS ART AS AN ARTISAN-SCULPTOR.

HIS QUEST: “THE FORM IS IN THE MATTER.” PIERRE SALAGNAC MAKES METAL BLOOM. HIS MASTERFUL COMMAND OF BRONZE TECHNIQUES ALLOWS HIM TO TRANSCEND THEM, LETTING THE MATERIAL EXPRESS THE FORM IT ALREADY CONTAINS. WITH GREAT VIRTUOSITY, HE REVEALS THE ORGANIC CURVES OF NATURE WITHIN A BLOCK OF METAL.

PIERRE SALAGNAC HAS EARNED A REPUTATION IN THE WORLD OF INTERIOR DECORATION THANKS TO THE BRONZE BONSAIS HE HAS CAST TO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE GLOBE. HIS “ÉLAN” TABLES ARE ALSO EMBLEMATIC OF HIS EXPLORATION OF NATURE AND LIGHTNESS. HE FURTHER EXTENDS HIS WORK INTO ARTIST’S JEWELRY THROUGH A COLLECTION OF RINGS CRAFTED FROM THE LEAVES SCULPTED FOR HIS BONSAI TREES.
