Acrylic on canvas, pine needles, plant ash – 195 x 130 cm
With Arborescence n°738 , Pierre-Luc Poujol captures the aura of a tree that seems to be reborn from the very material from which it came. The striking contrast between the immaculate background and the dark tones of the trunk evokes both the memory of forests and the fragility of life.
The plant ashes, integrated into the composition, bear witness to a transformation: is it a tree surviving the flames, or a spectral imprint of a vanished giant? The glowing touches recall fire, an element that is both destructive and regenerative, while the nervous dripping gives the work a vibrant, almost telluric energy.
In this piece, nature becomes a trace, a vestige and a rebirth , inviting the viewer to question his intimate connection with trees, these silent guardians of time. An intense and contemplative work, where the power of the plant dialogues with the ephemeral.
