As a natural complement to the Pompidou Mobile exhibition taking place from 24 October 2012 to 20 January 2013 in Libourne, and in the Framework of Un Château, Une OEuvre circuit, Château Canon La Gaffelière is hosting the works of Pierre Clerk, a contemporary Canadian artist inspired by Picasso, Mondrian, and Matisse.
Born in Atlanta (USA) in 1928, Pierre Clerk has travelled around the world to enrich his experiences. This prolific cosmopolitan artist divides his time between New York and France’s Lot-et-Garonne department.
A talented colourist, his graphic universe is an abstract one. His works are precise and richly detailed with a subtle balance between shapes and colours.
Château Canon La Gaffelière, a Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, provides a beautiful showcase for his latest creations, a set of eight paintings and two sculptures.
