Pierre Flandreau

Homage to Chester Arnold, 1987
Painted Bronze, 14" x 9" x 2"

Pierre Flandreau was born in Panama in 1948. He received a B.A. from the College of Marin, Kentfield, California, and also studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts. Flandreau is primarily a painter, but he began to work with bronze in the mid-1980s. Many of the materials in his sculptures are found objects—natural materials or artificial items—which he juxtaposes in his explorations of the relationship of man to his environment.
