Pascal Pierme New Abstract Sculpture

A 15-piece wall sculpture carved from mahogany by artist Pascal Pierme. The piece, titled “Les Origines 71” (Origins 71), displays various finishes, colors and textures depending on the angle of viewing. At the same time, depending on the angle in which the light hits the parts of the wall sculpture, its shadows create a second visual element that could be thought of as a more interesting material than the sculpture itself.
