Sculpture No. 84

The Artist
For more than three decades, Philippe Leclercq carved stone from his garden atelier in Provence. Now, LES presents his work in collaboration with South Loop Loft.

A physiotherapist by profession, he spent his early evenings working with limestone and marble, guided not by commercial ambition or the pursuit of recognition, but by an enduring fascination with what might emerge from the blocks of stone Phillipe hand selected.

As Philippe describes it, "To sculpt is, in fact, to give shape - or rather, shapes - to the formless."

Even after decades of carving, Philippe still speaks of sculpture as a medium of endless possibility, one whose potential  is “limitless, boundless, unpredictable, and infinite.”

The Sculpture
Hand-carved from red marble, Sculpture No. 84 is an expression of Philippe's lifelong exploration of stone, form, and material.

An Unrepeatable Body of Work
For thirty years, this was a quiet devotion: one man, one block of stone, and a lifelong fascination with the forms hidden inside it.

The sculptures remained largely unseen by the world: They lived among the olive trees and weathered stone walls of Philippe's garden; woven into the fabric of his daily life until a chance encounter in Provence revealed this extraordinary lifetime of work.

Each sculpture is a chapter from a larger story: a collection shaped by curiosity rather than commerce, carrying a rare sense of honesty that feels increasingly difficult to find.

Quiet, singular, and deeply human.
