What strange characters these are! Sort of centaurs running around with their manes blowing in the wind, free as a bird. Hidden in the bodies of headless horses, they seem happy, light and carefree like children at playtime. Naked as worms, they embody freedom... Besides, don't people say that being on horseback gives a taste of freedom? Here, Pierre Sgamma reappropriates the metaphor and embeds it in his universe, which is always so special, crazy and tender... in memory of three equine friends.
It is impossible to remain indifferent to the creations of Pierre Sgamma. His sometimes enigmatic creations disturb, move, provoke and even shock. This artist has developed his own plastic language, a singular universe that unfolds with great freedom of expression. All in poetry and sensitivity, Pierre Sgamma's world shakes us up, scratches us and moves us between tearing and appeasement. He transcends established codes by juxtaposing the sublime and the grotesque, candour and perversity. He says: "In the most intense moments of production and creation, I don't work, I play. Each piece is a piece of me, loaded with my experience of love, violence, fears, lacks, desires. I make fun of myself, of this great comedy that is life.
Retour De Voyage likes the movement that Pierre Sgamma has given to these statues, which are nevertheless quite rigid. This freedom, one could even say this grace, is undeniably the artist's talent.
