Hidden Secrets by Jean Luc Pigeon

The Northern Artist Gallery is thrilled to announce that the exhibit “Hidden Secrets” for the month of March will consist of creations by the talented wood turner Jean Luc Pigeon. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday March 9 from 1pm to 4pm and listen to Jean Luc share his passion for woodturning.

Jean Luc has always enjoyed the challenge of making work with burls and exotic woods. He likes to keep natural edges with burls, thinness for delicate works and add finials to decorative and ornamental pieces. Wooden bowls and pens made from an array of different woods are his forte.

While attending an international wood show in the early 90’s, he watched a wood turner produce a small bowl and was fascinated by the technique. He then started turning bowls and challenged himself to do more difficult pieces. To this day, he is still mesmerized by the natural «Hidden Secrets» of wood. The grain, texture and colors are revealed as the wood is transformed to a one of a kind work of art.
