Steampunk Sculptures by Pierre Matter
French sculptor Pierre Matter
creates large-scale sculptures that melds organic subjects, human and animal, with steampunk-flavored mechanical components. The artist was born
in Munster, France, where from an early age he was introduced to machines
through his father’s jobs. He works mostly with bronze, however he also
uses recycled and scrap materials, to build his hybrid sculptures. His
imaginative artwork is a continuation of an ongoing dialogue concerning
human existence and changes brought about by advances in technology and
the sciences.
"The way I blend cogs, pistons, integrated circuits and other accessories of the industrial world into beings, bodies or faces, my sculptures, directly follows from the way human life has evolved in recent times. Of course, we are only at the beginning of an era where the use of machines or micromachines embedded within living beings may well become widespread, but it is already the case that modern life is completely unthinkable without technology."
