Dominique POLLES: Fascinated by anatomy, he studied medicine and also attended drawing classes at the Academy Charpentier. On July 3rd, 1966, he discovered sculpture by a friend and sculptor named Enzo Plazota. He said then: “overnight, as soon as I knew the form, I felt that I would give up everything for it.”
On August 28th, 1970, he arrived in Carrara, and has since lived in Pietrasanta . A few years later, he created his own foundry and almost exclusively uses bronze for his works.
His creations in continuity to the tradition of Greek sculpture, are a short-circuit between Brancusi's purity, Henry Moore's figurative abstraction and Modigliani's lines and forms.
Considered as the inventor of the "Organic Cubism", he is immediately identifiable while he is reinventing the interpretation of the fullness of flesh through a new and personal mythology.

Pollès is a French sculptor born in Paris in 1945. He is considered the inventor of “Organic Cubism” . Fascinated by anatomy, he studied medicine and also attended drawing classes at the Academy Charpentier. In 1966, he discovered sculpture from a friend, the sculptor Enzo Plazota. He affirmed: “Overnight, as soon as I discovered form, I felt that I could give up everything for it.” In 1970, he went to Carrara and has lived ever since in Pietrasanta. A few years later, he created his own foundry and almost exclusively uses bronze for his works. His creations represent a continuity to the tradition of Greek sculpture. They could be considered as a short-circuit between Brancusi's purity, Henry Moore's figurative abstraction, and Modigliani's lines and forms. His love for the female figure, for her sensuality, complexity, and shape, led him to explore mainly the female form. Since the beginning of his career, Pollès has created a singularly stylized cubistish form, which became his signature.
