ALEPH: PIERRE-MARIE LEJEUNE

Pierre Marie Lejeune’s monumental sculptures in steel, light and mirror, maintain a dialectical relationship within the place of their exhibition, since they have as much to show as the landscape and architecture that hosts them. Forms erect themselves: bending, fitting, and reacting to the environment. Sun, clouds, dusk: constantly revealing something new. The artist uses heavy materials such as steel, iron and glass. He creates simple, essential, eternal shapes. He invents mysterious letters such as an "O" and its cross- bar, sometimes a "U", right or inclined, or a L-shaped letter, upright or lying down. An amazing paradox; these works are both light and heavy, deeply attached to the ground and celestial, raw and developed, visible and clear, material and cosmic breath.
