Pierre-Luc Piché. Sculptor. Woodcarver. Quebec. Active 2010 – ?.
Like the best artists, Pierre-Luc Piche is a poet as well as a sculptor and wood carver. He has created a distinctive version of a traditional Quebec folk tale “Le Chasse Galerie” Made of Pine and Cedar wood, Pierre-Luc Piche likes to re-use and integrate woods from other works – works with a history – into his carvings. In this Chasse Galerie are woods from 19th century house moldings, a table leg and rungs from a chair.* His next Chasse Galerie ‘will be more traditional and in keeping with the traditional story’.
*In his words: “Elle sera un parfait ajout en classe à travers les contes et légendes de lutins ou autres. Pin et cèdre. J’aime réutiliser et intégrer des pièces de d’autres meubles qui ont eu de l’histoire. Moulure de maison de 1880, boule d’une patte de table et barreau de chaise. La prochaine sera plus traditionnelle et en lien avec notre conte traditionnel. Les idées bouillonnent ! Ce ne sera pas la dernière car…du pin, j’en mange littéralement!”
