Artist Bio
Originally from Paris, France, Pascal Giacomini has been working in Hollywood since the 1980s. He is an accomplished artist working in several genres: sculpture, functional art, photography, and most recently documentary films and playable guitar sculptures.
As a participating artist in The Ghetto Biennale cross-cultural arts festival of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Pascal documented his time working side by side with like-minded artists in one of the world’s most challenging slums. The result is the multi-award-winning Out of Chaos: An Art Renaissance in Haiti, a 75-minute documentary about the event that also documents the profound effect of that experience on his own creative process.
Pascal has exhibited his work in various southern California museums, including the Fowler and the Escondido Center for the Arts; and Los Angeles Cultural Affairs venues; he has been the subject of several public art exhibitions in West Hollywood, Malibu and Palm Springs; and his site-specific commissions at prestigious private properties, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Sowden House and the Norma Talmadge Estate.
His most recent project Giaco Guitars SculpturesTM comprises a limited series of up to 100 original guitars fashioned from the raw material of vintage American oil cans, reimagined and transformed into playable works of musical art—a process Giacomini describes as “recycling leftovers of American capitalism into art and music.” Truly striking in their originality, they have already been the focus of much attention from leading musicians, guitar aficionados and art collectors alike.
