ARTIST
Parvine Curie was born in Nancy in 1936, of French-Iranian origin. After her studies she left to visit Europe and decided to settle in Barcelona in 1957, discovering Catalan art. She practiced sculpture as an autodidact, following the advice of sculptor Marcel Marti with whom she had a son, David in 1959. In 1970, she moved to Paris and presented at the young sculpture salon, the work Première Mère, which marked the sculptor François Stahly. He invites her to come and work alongside him at the collective workshop in Crestet (Vaucluse). Parvine learns the basics of the trade, sculpts wood and stone. She married Stahly in 1975 and subsequently carried out numerous public commissions. Her work, which was initially more hieratic, then evolved into a more dynamic style. Her sculptures, between figures and architecture, and strongly inspired by the places she visited, are marked by pure lines and materials and testify to her constant desire to question space and light.

Description

Artwork

“I don’t do abstract sculpture. I have always looked for the human in sculpture”

The works of Parvine Curie have a double essence, that of an intimate monumentality which imposes itself through its forms, as much as it attracts and reassures us. The sculpture practice of this artist who was the companion of François Stahly has never ceased to embody her great sensitivity as a woman and mother and has gradually evolved over the course of a life rich in travel and discoveries. Her works are thus marked by the visual, formal, but also spiritual force of the architectures of many cultures which fascinate her. Her love for Spain, and more specifically Catalonia where she lived for a long time, marked her personal history as much as her artistic career and was paramount in the creation of the artist’s major works. This Character “Cadac”, a proud and elegant totem, symbolizes the preponderant place that this small village of Cadaquès still occupies today in the artist’s heart where she likes to recharge her batteries.
