Pierre Luc Poujol

Pierre-Luc Poujol's work is rooted in an intimate dialogue with nature, and more specifically with trees. Each series he develops explores a facet of this profound relationship, ranging from texture to trace, from symbol to living medium. While formal approaches vary, all his creations share a common source: nature as an active presence, a partner in creation.

For the artist, the tree is more than just a motif. It is language, memory and resilience. It embodies the link between heaven and earth, between the human gesture and the invisible forces of the world. In his first works in the “between the lines” series, we find the imprint of the plant, its eroded skin, its fragility revealed by dripping or coulure. Then, in her “Arborescences” series, the tree has become a tool: branches are transformed into brushes, ashes are mixed with paint, offering the artist a living material symbolizing transformation, memory and resilience.

Each series - though distinct - bears witness to this quest for an organic language. Whether abstract territories inspired by bark, trees standing on the crest of figuration or vegetal impressions, all her works are traversed by a tension between ephemerality and permanence. They become fragments of ecosystem...

Pierre-Luc Poujol began brilliant studies in applied arts, from which he graduated top of his class (first prize in drawing, first prize in perspective, first prize in sketching).

After spending his time between France and the United States for several years, in 2018 he finally set up his workshop in the South of France, near Montpellier.

Influenced by the rural roots of his farming grandfather and lulled by the spiritual environment of his pastor father, Pierre-Luc Poujol develops an early sensitivity to the world and nature around him.

Acclaimed for his work and artistic commitment, he has won numerous prestigious awards. In particular, he was the winner of the international prize awarded by UNESCO for two-thousandth anniversary of the Nativity.

Pierre-Luc Poujol is also keen to forge links with museum institutions. From March 23 to May 26, 2024, he presented “Arborescences”, his new solo exhibition at the Musée Paul Valéry, featuring over 70 paintings and wood sculptures on the theme of trees and forests.

A committed artist, in spring 2022 he will become the first ambassador of the French NGO Coeur de Forêt, for which he will lend his voice and his tools in favor of preserving our biodiversity.
