Hand Cut Wall Light by Jacques Jarrige

Creator: Jacques Jarrige
Offered by: Valerie Goodman Gallery

Description
This luminous wall light by Jacques Jarrige exemplifies his ongoing exploration of form, light, and movement through modest materials and sculptural intuition. Cut by hand from plywood and finished with a richly lacquered surface, each sconce is a unique expression—its contours shaped by the artist’s fluid gestures rather than predetermined plans.

The result is a wall light that feels alive: its outline softly asymmetrical, with lines that seem to ripple or unfold like petals, wings, or leaves. The sculptural form diffuses and reflects light in unexpected ways, casting gentle shadows and activating the surrounding space with warmth and texture. Although conceived as a sconce, it can also be placed on a tabletop or shelf as a freestanding lamp, bringing flexibility to its poetic presence.

Outfitted with a single light source, the piece emits a soft, ambient glow—but its configuration can be adjusted or customized to accommodate different lighting needs. The simplicity of the material—plywood—contrasts with the sophistication of the execution, a hallmark of Jarrige’s practice, which often elevates humble media through labor-intensive processes and expressive design.

Each piece is signed by the artist and can be commissioned in custom dimensions or colors, making it adaptable to a wide range of interiors. Whether used individually or in multiples, these wall lights offer a refined, sculptural alternative to conventional lighting—balancing utility with the intimacy and surprise of handmade art.
