Pierre Sgamma's Masqued Cavalier takes us into a mystical, chivalric universe. A former horseman, Pierre pays tribute in this series presented by Retour De Voyage to the relationship between horse and rider, with his characteristic sense of humor. The golden helmet lends a precious air to the armor of this rider and his horse, as do the finely drawn motifs on the sides of the helmet and on the horse's entire coat. Strangely enough, it's the rider who's carrying the horse... even though he has no legs. This leaves room for so many suppositions and stories, and feeds our imaginations...

Pierre Sgamma's creations are impossible to ignore. 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. Poetic and sensitive, Pierre Sgamma's world shakes us up, scratches us and sways us between heartbreak and appeasement. He transcends established codes, juxtaposing the sublime and the grotesque, candor 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 and desires. I make fun of myself, of this great comedy that is life."
