Florence Jarrige

Florence Jarrige is a contemporary sculptor based in Burgundy, near Cluny in Saône-et-Loire, France. She works primarily in marble, limestone, and granite.

Her practice explores verticality, inner momentum, and the gesture of elevation as a movement toward transcendence. Her sculptures emerge from a dialogue between material and space, between the weight of stone and the impulse to rise.

Each piece carries the memory of gesture and time. Tool marks, striated surfaces, and the contrast between raw and polished areas reveal the process of transforming the stone and what remains inscribed within the material.

Balancing strength and lightness, her work allows light to reveal form and heighten the contrast between roughness and softness. Her sculptures do not describe; they suggest a presence, an elevation.
