Sculptor Adrien Piette; crafting Art with vision and emotion in Seaway Windows – 29 2nd Street E. Cornwall Ontario

Cornwall ON – Eastern Ontario Sculptor Adrien Piette, born and raised in Cornwall, Ontario began his Sculpture adventures with form and structure as a child. His original building materials of Play-Doh and sticks expanded to include wood, plaster, paper, fabric, paper maché, wire and brass.
.
A Visual Arts Graduate from The Ottawa School of Art, Adrien’s sculptures have garnered attention and praise in galleries and shows throughout Eastern Ontario.
.
Piette has recently begun his creative journey with life sized figures.Adrien’s inspiration comes from music and the images this music paints.  Piette embraces and clearly incorporates the lighter and darker sides of human nature as is evidenced by the body language employed in his three dimensional creations.

.
Additional ideas come from the various shoes he fills in life; husband, father, son, brother, friend, coworker and the many facets required in filling the role of conscientious and loving father.
.
His 34 years of travels and experiences have inspired him to create his newest body of work which comments and reflects on the human condition.  “Coming to terms with, acknowledging and accepting ourselves as we are on this day.”
Being intrigued with the sculptural medium, Adrien allowed this writer and visual artist to take part in the birthing process of his very first life sized sculpture, “Searching For Something True”.
.
Following his concept, direction and lead we cut, fastened and problem solved…it was an amazing experience to have the opportunity to share in this very talented man’s creative process.Adrien will be unveiling the first two of his life-sized expressive sculptures from his current project in progress at the Seaway Windows, 29 2nd Street E., Cornwall, ON, September 1, 2011.  (Seaway News Building)
