Pierre Yermia: The Experience of Being

Massive bodies, supported by frail limbs, which give the impression of being firmly rooted to the ground and yet precariously balanced. Pierre Yermia‘s human figures speak to us of the universality of our human experience, of a humanity always on the verge of faltering and yet carried along by an irresistible momentum.

Unconcerned with passing trends, the artist has been developing a highly coherent body of work for more than 30 years, reflecting the consistency of his research and nourished by a profound knowledge of art history, from archaic Greek art to the work of Henry Moore and his successors.
