Patrick Marchal

Patrick Marchal is a visual artist, politically aware with a sharp sense of humour. A goldsmith highly experienced in assembly techniques, he mixes hard and lighter components, taking them from the familiar sources we all know. His meticulours pieces are full of meaning and personality.

Patrick Marchal's strong artistic language makes us think about our social and political environment, the very same surroundings which feed his work. His mini-sculptures, coloured with great craftsmanship and precision, are designed to get a smile and a reaction from us to some serious topics which have emerged from the beginning of this century.

With Patrick Marchal's jewels, the metal or steel becomes base, bomb, X. The inherent tension is visible. Therefore it is not only a questioning of the apparent image but more profoundly the re-evaluation of his apparition and acceptance in the world.

Jewellery as a tension by its very nature. High density, capabilities to be manipulated or not, all state of the art compositions for personal commitment.
