Jérôme Pereira initially turned to physics and geophysics. Subsequently, feeling constrained by scientific rigour, he preferred the tools of poetic sensitivity and replaced the laboratory with the workshop and walks in nature in search of materials.
His work explores balance and harmony, drawing inspiration from the opposing yet complementary forces of nature. His pieces convey a state of grace between tension and collapse that questions equilibrium. He works intuitively, allowing himself to be guided by the material. For him, adding an object to the world is a great responsibility that must be in line with his environmental convictions.
Jérôme Pereira creates luminous sculptures with a raw presence and a certain gracefulness. From his scientific training, he retains a tendency to extrapolate… Like equations, his pieces offer a plastic language with a familiar vocabulary (arch, pulley, ring, mass, counterweight, cube) that nevertheless leads to an unknown: a repertoire of surreal and tribal forms unfolding in a play of tension and balance. An organic physics made up of lines and curves, particles and nuclei, gravitation and gravity.
