> JEAN-PIERRE SERGENT
French-American artist, he developed his repertory of artistic forms in the United
States and continues to work and exhibit regularly in France and the rest of Europe.
He recently exhibited at two solo exhibitions in major French museums: the Musée
des Beaux-Arts of Mulhouse in 2011 and the Courbet Farm of Flagey in 2102. Last
year, he had two solo shows, one of large works on paper: "Sex & Rituals" at the
Omnibus Gallery of Besançon, France, and the other: "Cultures-Energies", at the
Kunstpalais in Badenweiler, Germany. For the tenth anniversary of the MAG, the
artist is going to present eight Plexiglas square paintings (1,40 m x 1,40 m), chosen
from his new "Entropic Suites" series completed during the Summer 2014, as well as
twenty pieces of small works on paper (42 x 42 cm) from the series: "Desire, the
Womb, the Cave & the White Lotus". Both series of works have been largely inspired
to the artist by his last reading of the Upanishads, this Hindu book, one of he oldest
in the history of writing, and specially from this quotation from the Tripura Upanishad:
"Desire, the womb, the Digit of Desire,
The Wielder of the Thunderbolt, the Cave,
Ha sa, the Wind, the Cloud, the King of Heaven,
Yet again the Cave, sa ka la and maya –
Such is the primeval Wisdom, embracing all,
Mother of the vast universe."
