See the tree, feel the sovereign plant, transcribe the jolts of its dense and fibrous matter... Dedicated to the abstract evocation of the landscape, the large paintings by Pierre-Luc Poujol express a feeling of communion with the fertile life that populates the depths of the forest, in the heart of a chaos of trees spotted by light that filters through their shady foliage. The motif of the tree in fact fertilizes all its production, and the magma matrix that presides over all his achievements, the artist walks variations in explorations, shaping a universe with thousand ramifications. Pierre-Luc Poujol is committed to the preservation of the environment and designs his practice in a deep respect for life, tree branches, vegetable ashes, wood charcoal, allowing him a more intimate connection with his subject. Through the accumulation of gestures and traces involving the body and putting the eye in motion, he makes the plant spring out and deploys moving environments whose multiple tones are bathed in luminous vibrations with certain force. Like dripping, his sensual approach to the medium is blossoming in soft waves whose nervous accents, as so many contained deflagrations, make the pictorial space resonate. A rhythm is born from this intensity and the layout of what could be trunks, branches and other foliage play thus a partition where the power of nature are expressed, as well as the softness of the shadow.
