Under changing signs...

Jürgen Chaumarat was born in 1970, Tahiti, Pacific Ocean.

Precocious sense of fleeting, place of education in Paris, Algeria, Normandy, Aquitaine, Auvergne, and, always in between, stays in Polynesia.

A passion for glass, material of light, of which he explored stratification building techniques as an autodidact.

Following an imperious call, he escaped from the Parisian maze for a rebirth in the remote Pacific. He learned tropical woods, bamboo, coconut tree, warmness that shined through a specific style with curving and roving lines. Objects acquire organic and almost convulsive dimensions.

Four years feeding a changing vision, and Jürgen is back in France. With a new intuition of harmony, and an ever accute sense of here and now.
