Description

“I don’t do abstract sculpture. I have always looked for the human in sculpture”, Parvine Curie, interviews with Scarlett Reliquet.

The works of Parvine Curie have a double essence, that of an intimate monumentality which imposes itself through its forms, as much as it attracts and reassures us. The sculpture practice of this artist who was the companion of François Stahly has never ceased to embody her great sensitivity as a woman and mother and has gradually evolved over the course of a life rich in travel and discoveries. Her works are thus marked by the visual, formal, but also spiritual force of the architectures of many cultures which fascinate her. Her love for Spain, and more specifically Catalonia where she lived for a long time, marked her personal history as much as her artistic career and was paramount in the creation of the artist’s major works. This Character “Cadac”, a proud and elegant totem, symbolizes the preponderant place that this small village of Cadaquès still occupies today in the artist’s heart where she likes to recharge her batteries.
