Inspiration: In Lying Bull, Pascal Cerchi offers a refined and almost totemic interpretation of the animal. Reduced to solid volumes and essential lines, the bull appears both massive and strangely soothed, withdrawn into itself in a posture of silent vigil. The stylized horns, the barely suggested eyes and the rounded shapes give the work an archaic dimension, close to an idol or a symbol. Alabaster, with its milky shades and natural veins, catches the light and enlivens the surface with an inner vibration.
This sculpture embodies a primitive and timeless presence, where animal force becomes meditative form.
Edition: Unique piece, signed by the artist.
Artist: Pascal Cerchi is a sculptor based in Paris.
“It is the stones that hold and offer the work once completed. I am only accompanying this metamorphosis from the raw to the visible. Emotion, which is possible, belongs to another way of looking at things, and that’s right. Alabaster, in addition to being soft, has another particularity: its translucency. So that all the subjects that emerge are full of the ambient light of the world, this silent treasure. Archetypes and symbols populate my bestiary. Animals, idols, books, keys, anchors… I sometimes wonder who they will live with… I love their freedom and independence.” Pascal Cerchi

Born into a childhood spent between Antibes and Tehran, Pascal Cerchi studied interior architecture at the Camondo school in Paris. Working with the very material of its Alabaster blocks, the artist seeks to reveal their hidden sculptures: thus emerges a bestiary of vestiges, symbols, and excavated objects, as if unearthed from the stone.
