From vintage metal to animal poetry
Jean-Pierre Jurisic Has’ Art Creation second life forgotten objects perfectly describes the journey of this self-taught artist, a former antiques dealer turned sculptor. From his workshop in Haute-Saône, he transforms chandelier fragments and brass furniture ornaments into elegant animal sculptures, giving a second life to materials long forgotten.
A unique path from antiques to creation
Born in Reims in 1977, Jean-Pierre Jurisic left his native region in 2002 to settle in the countryside. For years, he honed his eye in the world of antiques before devoting himself entirely to art in July 2024, under the evocative name Has’ Art Creation. Each piece he creates tells a story of transmission, resilience, and rebirth.
Jean-Pierre Jurisic and the elegance of the living
His favorite material is brass, which he salvages, assembles, and transforms. Inspired by the animal kingdom—birds in flight, felines in motion—he captures the exact gesture and suspended instant. His assembly technique, without bending or welding, recalls the Meccano constructions of his childhood, giving his sculptures an almost organic lightness.
An art that reincarnates rather than stylizes
While his forms evoke the purity of François Pompon, a major figure in Art Deco animal sculpture, Jean-Pierre Jurisic follows his own path: not simply stylizing, but reincarnating. Each creation bridges past and present, anchoring itself in memory while opening a door to the imagination.
Has’ Art Creation, a sensitive dialogue
Calling himself a “re-creator of emotions,” he seeks to create a bond between object and viewer. His sculptures don’t overwhelm with volume—they invite contemplation. They whisper rather than shout, and in that restraint lies their evocative power.
A future to build
Still rarely exhibited but already the recipient of an artists’ award in the Vosges, Jean-Pierre Jurisic now hopes to expand his audience, collaborate with galleries, connect with fellow creators like Patrick Villas, and perhaps see his work enter a major art house.
