Pacific Compagnie's eye
Pacific Compagnie - A selection of contemporary artists
There are addresses in Paris that you do not find: you discover them. Pacific Compagnie is one of these. As much a gallery as a showroom, as much a place of life as a place of desire, this exceptional Parisian space has cultivated since its origins a singular vision of beauty: one where designer furniture dialogues with contemporary art, where the great international houses sit alongside the artists of their time, where each piece tells a story you want to continue at home.
What distinguishes Pacific Compagnie from ordinary showrooms is the very nature of its selection: demanding, editorial, alive. Here, Rugiano sits next to Richard Orlinski, the raku sculptures of Paul Beckrich respond to the expressive canvases of Gérard Stricher, and the wildlife photography of Griet Van Malderen suspends time in a striking silence. Each object, each work has been chosen for what it evokes beyond itself: an emotion, an atmosphere, a way of seeing the world.
To enter Pacific Compagnie is to accept being surprised. It is to understand that true luxury is not measured by the price of things, but by their capacity to transform a space into a showcase, and an interior into a portrait of the one who inhabits it. The works and creations presented here do not decorate: they inhabit, they affirm, they endure. Come and meet them.
Pacific Compagnie presents to you a selection of six exceptional pieces.
The Red Samurai Sculpture – Paul Beckrich
There is something irreducible about the raku technique: the fire ultimately decides, and it is precisely this dialogue between the artist's hand and the unpredictability of the firing that gives each of Paul Beckrich's pieces its absolute character. The Red Samurai is a portrait-sculpture: this ceramic warrior shaped entirely by hand carries within it the tension of ancestral forms and the gentle brutality of deep red nuances that the raku has embedded in the clay. A silent and powerful presence, that commands respect without ever demanding it.
In a living room, a library or an art space, the Red Samurai is an affirmation: that of a taste for works that have a soul.
- Artist: Paul Beckrich.
- Technique: raku ceramic, entirely shaped by hand.
- Finish: deep red nuances, unique artisanal texture.
- Dimensions: H. 55 x W. 25 x D. 25 cm.
- Use: living rooms, libraries or art spaces.

The Brown Samurai Sculpture – Paul Beckrich
Same hand, same fire, another story. The Brown Samurai by Paul Beckrich is the dark and warm variation of the same ceramic epic. Where red proclaims, brown whispers: its deep, almost earthy nuances evoke the earth from which the piece was born, the long time of know-how, the warmth of grand interiors that resist trends. The artisanal texture, fruit of raku and its magnificent whims, gives the surface a life of its own: no light reads it the same way twice.
A work for those who know that sobriety, when worked with this intensity, is the highest form of elegance.
- Artist: Paul Beckrich.
- Technique: raku ceramic, entirely shaped by hand.
- Finish: deep brown nuances, unique artisanal texture.
- Dimensions: H. 55 x W. 25 x D. 25 cm.
- Use: living rooms, offices or art spaces.

The Painting "Mon Vexin" – Gérard Stricher
Gérard Stricher paints as others write: with the urgency of those who have something to say and the mastery of those who know how to say it. "Mon Vexin" – this refers to the French Vexin where the painter settled in 2004 – is a work of great breath: 200 x 170 cm of canvas where reds burn, yellows burst, greens and blues are deposited in generous layers, and where black punctuates the composition with a quiet authority. The material is on the surface: you can feel the brush, you can guess the gesture, you enter the canvas as you enter a landscape.
In a reception room or a prestigious hall, "Mon Vexin" does not settle on a wall: it takes it. A work for art lovers who know that colour, when it is just right, needs no explanation.
- Artist: Gérard Stricher.
- Technique: oil on canvas, original work.
- Finish: rich texture, brushstrokes in relief.
- Palette: reds, yellows, greens, blues and deep blacks.
- Frame: solid oak.
- Dimensions: 200 x 170 cm.
- Use: living rooms, galleries or reception spaces.

The Painting "Le Silence du Soleil" – Gérard Stricher
There are titles that are already programmes. "Le Silence du Soleil": Stricher summons light here in what it has of the most physical, the most almost painful. Yellows and oranges explode, reds vibrate, green and deep blue come to balance the composition with a skilfully maintained tension. At 205 x 202 cm, this canvas is an experience in its own right: it modifies the light of a room, warms volumes, imposes its palette as an obviousness that you had not seen coming.
"Le Silence du Soleil" is the work that one looks at every morning with the same intensity as on the first day. The one you regret not having bought sooner.
- Artist: Gérard Stricher.
- Technique: oil on canvas, original work.
- Finish: generous material, pictorial texture in relief.
- Palette: yellow, orange, red, green and deep blue.
- Frame: solid oak.
- Dimensions: 205 x 202 cm.
- Use: living rooms, halls or reception spaces.

The Kong Sculpture – Richard Orlinski
Richard Orlinski needs no introduction: his Kong is one of the most recognised and desired contemporary sculptures in the world. This solid bronze gorilla, with dynamic lines cut in an almost crystalline geometry, is a striking synthesis between raw force and formal elegance. "Born Wild": Orlinski's motto resonates in every facet of the sculpture, in every reflection that the bronze sends back to the light. Numbered limited edition 8/8: eight examples in the world.
To acquire a Kong is to enter the closed circle of collectors who understand that certain works only gain value with time. And that time, for Orlinski, always plays in the right direction.
- Artist: Richard Orlinski.
- Materials: solid bronze.
- Edition: limited series numbered 8/8.
- Dimensions: L. 60 x D. 32 x H. 83 cm.
- Use: art spaces, living rooms or prestigious collections.

The Photograph "Alert" – Griet Van Malderen
There are photographs that exhaust commentary before you have even begun. "Alert" is one of them. Griet Van Malderen captured in South Africa, in 2019, that suspended moment when a majestic panther turns its gaze towards the horizon — alert gaze, ancient gaze, gaze that pierces you. Black and white, of absolute precision and contrast, eliminates everything superfluous and leaves only the essential: the silent power of an animal that has lost nothing of its wild nature.
128 x 178 cm of rare photographic evidence. A work that transforms a wall into a window, and an interior into a territory.
- Artist: Griet Van Malderen.
- Technique: black and white wildlife photography.
- Place and date: South Africa, 2019.
- Finish: intense contrast, photographic details of great precision.
- Dimensions: 128 x 178 cm.
- Use: living rooms, galleries or high-end contemporary spaces.
