Pierre-Luc Poujol began brilliant studies in applied arts, from which he graduated top of his class (First prize in drawing, first prize in perspective, first prize in sketching).<\/p>\n

After splitting his time between France and the United States for several years, he permanently established his studio in the South of France, near Montpellier, in 2018.<\/p>\n

Influenced by the rural roots of his farmer grandfather and nurtured by the spiritual environment of his pastor father, Pierre-Luc Poujol developed an early sensitivity to the world and the nature surrounding him.<\/p>\n

Recognized for his work and artistic commitment, he has won numerous prestigious awards. He was the recipient of the international prize awarded by UNESCO for the bimillennium of the Nativity. <\/p>\n

Pierre-Luc Poujol also strives to forge special links with museum institutions. Notably, from March 23 to May 26, 2024, he presented “Arborescences,” his latest monographic exhibition at the Paul Val\u00e9ry Museum (S\u00e8te), bringing together a collection of over 70 paintings and wood sculptures on the theme of trees and the forest. From June to October 2025, Pierre-Luc Poujol took over the Mus\u00e9e de Ferri\u00e8res with a new version of this exhibition, enriched with previously unseen works specially created for the occasion. <\/p>\n

A committed artist, in the spring of 2022, he became the first ambassador for the French NGO C\u0153ur de For\u00eat, to which he lends his voice and tools in favor of preserving our biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Pierre-Luc Poujol\u2019s work is rooted in an intimate dialogue with nature, and more particularly with the tree. Each series he develops explores a facet of this profound relationship, ranging from texture to trace, from symbol to living medium. While the formal approaches vary, all his creations share the same source: nature as an active presence, as a creative partner. <\/p>\n

For the artist, the tree is not a simple motif. It is a language. It embodies the link between sky and earth, between the human gesture and the invisible forces of the world. In his early works from the \u201cBetween the Lines\u201d series, one finds the imprint of plant life\u2014its eroded skin, its fragility revealed through dripping and runs. In 2020, during a trip to Claude Monet\u2019s gardens, the artist created the \u201cVoyage to Giverny\u201d series, in which nature is revealed through the prism of this pictorial immersion. This experience led to a museum exhibition the same year. Next came \u201cThe Forest Call\u201d, a series in which the tree becomes a symbol, a form on the threshold between figuration and abstraction, like an inner, sensitive presence. Finally, in \u201cArborescences\u201d and \u201cLisi\u00e8re\u201d, the tree becomes a tool: branches are transformed into brushes, ashes are mixed into the paint, offering the artist a living material\u2014a symbol of transformation, memory, and resilience. <\/p>\n

Each series, though distinct, bears witness to this quest for an organic language. Whether they are abstract territories inspired by bark, trees standing on the ridge of figuration, or plant impressions, all his works are permeated by a tension between the ephemeral and the permanent. They become fragments of an ecosystem, sensitive testimonies of our connection to the living world. <\/p>\n

An artist recognized on the French and international scene, Pierre-Luc Poujol has exhibited in several museums, notably at the Mus\u00e9e Paul Val\u00e9ry in S\u00e8te, which devoted two major exhibitions to him: \u201cVoyage to Giverny\u201d in 2020 and \u201cArborescences\u201d in 2024. His works have entered the Museum\u2019s permanent collection and are also part of major public and private collections. Pierre-Luc Poujol has also received prestigious distinctions, notably the UNESCO International Prize in 2000 and the Fondation Rampp \u201cArt and Nature\u201d Prize in 2025. <\/p>\n

First series, first excavation.
“Between the lines” explores bark, not as a surface, but as a language. Each painting is a vertical reading, an attempt to decipher what the tree holds within its layers, its cracks, its silences.
Dripping here becomes writing. The paint does not cover; it reveals. The lines stretch, cross, and sometimes break: an internal rhythm, a tension between structure and abandonment.
Color and light play a central role. They open up spaces, creating breathing room. Abstraction erases nothing: it condenses. It makes visible the invisible, the murmur contained within every fiber.
“Between the lines” lays the foundation for everything else. It is a work of origin, a primary dialogue between material, gesture, and what the tree has to say when one knows how to look differently. <\/p>\n

This series was born from the discovery of Claude Monet’s gardens in Giverny.
Not a tribute, but a journey. An immersion in color, light, and plant exuberance.
Created entirely through dripping, the works in “Voyage \u00e0 Giverny” translate the raw emotion of the place: without drawing, without outlines, without looking back. The gesture is free, instinctive, guided by the vibration of memory and the sensory power of the landscape.
Exhibited at the Paul Val\u00e9ry Museum, this series marks a brighter, almost euphoric turning point in the artist’s career. “Voyage \u00e0 Giverny” is a pause in joy, a celebration of life in its purest state, before diving back into the darker material of memory. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”%22The Forest Call%22 series” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

A forest does not call out with words, but with rhythms, colors, and breaths. This series responds to that call.
Painted using dripping, the works in “The Forest Call” series are born from an instinctive, almost organic gesture. The drips trace ramifications, echoes of bark, glimmers of foliage. No figurative tree, but a suggested, vibrant, fragmented forest.
Color is essential here: it pulses, it breathes. Each painting is a sensory immersion, a luminous journey where the forest becomes sensation, movement, and presence.
“The Forest Call” does not represent a landscape. It embodies its momentum, its vital pulse. It is a pictorial listening to the plant world: intense, free, irreducible. <\/p>\n
