Grégory Poussier

The emotion was powerful and intense as he marveled at the vast beauty He had just started working after having earned a degree in engineering, but decided to enroll in the Beaux-Arts school in Grenoble, concomitantly. He recalls : “But Gregory Poussier is a determined individual. He enrolled in evening classes, working marble. Sculpting became a part of his life, slowly prevailing over all else. With great humility and readiness, he perfected his art with Masters in private ateliers in France and Italy ; ateliers in which he finally learned the different marble cutting techniques. He became more proficient in that domain, but also heightened his knowledge of portraits and anatomy. He began exploring other materials such as bronze, to which he quickly took a liking.

This is why he strayed from marble, and moved on to sculpting terracotta and bronze. Gregory wanted to take the figuration and anatomical skillfulness a step further, making his sculptures more detailed and emotionally-charged, by way of a tense and intense transposition of his models' poses and gestures.

Gregory is an untiring worker in search of perfection, in regards to what he feels and wishes to convey to us. This explains the variation, or rather progression, of styles within his creations. Certain sculptures relate to the universe and codes of mythology, while others relate to enchanting fairies or contemporary dancers. Driven by the artist's emotions and sincerity, this variation is often unconscious, as are his choice of colors and bronze patina, or the finishing touches of his terracotta sculptures. Despite these variations, like the scales of a musician, Gregory's artistic DNA is very well present and recognizable. Aside from the narrative intention and the subject, his underlying poetical soul and his awe of the surrounding beauty guide his creations, for our own amazement.

The end result are these sculptures, made of grace and fantasy, which embellish our day-to-day reality and open our eyes to the beauty and the Sublime that surround us.

Over the past two years, this has caught the eye and sparked the interests of many collectors and has earned Gregory and his artworks a spot in prestigious galleries.

Undoubtedly, Gregory continues to progress very favorably, given his sincerity, humbleness and determination, and his perpetual self-questioning, striving to go further and deeper into what he is driven by : the World's Beauty.
