About this artwork
We all descend from a story of movement. I am an emigrant. In 1947 my grandparents nearly drowned crossing the Mediterranean seeking refuge in France. Their passage continues to shape this work.
Yet movement, while natural, is rarely gentle. Uprooting can mean injustice, daily negotiation in unfamiliar terrain, loss, fear, endurance—and sometimes hope and unexpected joy. Every displaced person carries a singular narrative.
In these paintings I borrow… the hard edges and utopian geometry of modernism, along with aerial views of borders, camps, roads, seas, and beaches. Into these abstract structures I insert small migrant figures. From a distance the works may appear formal, almost schematic. Up close, they become crowded with individual trajectories.
The grid suggests order, authority, planning.
The figures insist on vulnerability, improvisation, survival.
Abstraction becomes a stage on which human movement reappears.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Pierre Leichner, with a background rooted in both medicine and fine art, works across sculpture, painting, installation, BioArt, and video, blending scientific inquiry with poetic sensibility. His technique embraces organic materials, layered abstraction, and time-based processes, often inviting natural phenomena as collaborators. Playfulness and surprise give way to deeper ecological and socio-political meaning through engaging participatory works. Pierre’s art evokes vulnerability and resilience while inspiring reflection and a profound sense of interconnection between humanity, nature, and community.
