Jérôme Pereira
As a child curious with the world aroud him, Jerome Pereira starts first physics and geophysics studies. Later, feeling a little tight with the scientific rigour, he will prefer the poetic sensibility tool et will skip the laboratory for the studio and the nature walks to search for materials.
His work questions balance, inspirated by nature forces. His sculptures relate the state of grace between tension and fall.
Jérôme Pereira creates lighting sculptures with a rough and gracious presence. Coming from a scientific background, his sculptures, as equations, propose a familiar vocabulary (bows, puleys, rings, cubes, counterweignts) opening to an unknown factor. A catalog of shapes with a surrealist consonance leading to a playful combinaison of tension and equilibrium.
Today, his work comes into shape of exclusive and unique pieces, small edition or bespoke. He is collaborating with the artist Sylvia Eustache Rools on the Awaré project.
