Poncet is an abstract sculptor in the tradition of Jean Arp and Constantin Brancusi.  Many of Poncet’s forms are derived from nature and are pared down to display the beauty or voluptuousness of a form or the essence of a movement. His sculpture shows distinct similarities to the work of Jean Arp, with whom Poncet worked closely from 1953-1955.

 

Poncet believes that movement is essential in good sculpture, and he strives for a breathless balance in his work, so that as you look at it, you feel that with a gentle push, the piece would fall. As Poncet explained:

 

The movement is essential in my quest. Everything is moving in nature, in life. We must go all the way, trying to search the balance. Maintaining this balance is essential for the sculpture…

Description

Many of Poncet’s forms are derived from nature and are pared down to display the beauty or voluptuousness of either a form or the essence of a movement. Untitled is skillfully crafted and balanced, signaling a solid and upright stance, thus succeeding in striking just the perfect pose for his work. With its contrasting bulging and sharp elements, it bears a surreal and almost sinister element.
