Los Angeles artist, sculptor, and photographer Pascal Giacomini made his official debut in California in the 1980s with a hard-to-miss public art exhibition of sculpture that spanned an area between La Cienega Blvd. and Doheny Blvd. The artist felt that public art in Los Angeles was lacking, so he contacted the West Hollywood City Council and proposed a public exhibit of contemporary sculpture, which showcased his love of modern, abstract, and figurative style with classical African influences. Although the pieces were not technically for sale, most of them were sold by the end of that year, primarily because of the huge amount of traffic that flowed through those streets, turning him into something of a local celebrity. The experienced, professional artist, who was born in France, moved to California in the eighties and makes his home in Hollywood. He is well known for his metal sculptures, which are enhanced with bronze elements, glass, resin, and found objects. The sculptor has shown his work at various galleries and museums in Los Angeles and other parts of southern California, including:
The artist's wall pieces and standing sculptures are perfect for outdoor environments, such as gardens, as well as for display indoors. In addition to being a consummate professional sculptor, the artist is also an accomplished photographer, and he has shown his photography on creatively produced metal backgrounds in museums throughout southern California. Although photography is one of his passions — and as a professional photographer, he carries his camera wherever he travels — the artist doesn't stop there! He also designs furniture made out of metal, bronze, glass, and wood. Like his sculptures, these pieces can go indoors or outdoors. While he prefers to work on large pieces, this contemporary sculptor also creates small pieces for more intimate environments, such as for the wall, as well as standing decorative pieces. With his French/European background, the artist has a love of classical works with Greek influences; but his marriage of many years to a woman of Haitian heritage has also influenced his work. The art of Haiti and its pantheon of Vodou gods and goddesses are evident in the artist's sculptures, masks, and even in some of his contemporary furniture designs. The artist's work is for sale at Galerie Lakaye or through this Web site — for inquires, call 323-460-7333 or email the artist at giacomin@pacbell.net. © Copyright 2006-2008 by Pascal Giacomini |
