Eric de Gésincourt

Bio

Eric de Gésincourt began working with jewellery in 1991, and it has remained a constant in his life ever since. His workshop is currently based in Capbreton, in the southwest of France. Without any formal training in jewellery, he is entirely self-taught. However, his artistic background is more closely connected to furniture design.
For a long time, his work was created using materials found in the streets. As he wandered through the streets of Paris, he would collect objects and transform them. To him, every piece of jewellery he creates is also a miniature sculpture, often resembling furniture or lighting pieces.

Statement

My work is multidisciplinary. Jewellery has always been a part of me, but painting, sculpture, and furniture design have also shaped my artistic journey. I continue to pursue all these disciplines simultaneously, as they complement and intertwine with one another.
My workshop functions like a research laboratory, and I see myself as a lab technician.
