Art Madrid'24 – Pierre-Luc Poujol
Pierre-Luc Poujol
Alès, Cévennes (Francia), 1963
Pierre-Luc Poujol was born in 1963 in Alès, in the Cévennes.
In 1984, he embarked on a brilliant course of studies in applied arts, graduating at the top of his class (first prize in drawing, first prize in perspective, first prize in sketching).
After dividing his time between France and the United States for several years, in 2018 he finally sets up his studio in the south of France, near Montpellier.
Influenced by the rural roots of his farmer grandfather and lulled by the spiritual environment of his shepherd father, Pierre-Luc Poujol developed an early sensitivity to the world and nature around him.
Rewarded for his work and his artistic commitment, he has won several eminent awards. He won the international prize awarded by UNESCO on the occasion of the bimillenary of the Nativity.
Pierre-Luc Poujol also wishes to establish links with museum institutions. From March 23 to May 26, 2024, he presents “Arborescences”, his new solo exhibition at the Paul Valéry Museum, bringing together more than 70 paintings and wooden sculptures on the theme of trees and forests.
A committed artist, in the spring of 2022 he will become the first ambassador of the French NGO Coeur de Forêt, to which he will lend his voice and tools to help preserve our biodiversity.
