Born in 1938 in Brussels, Belgium, Georges Pelletier is a ceramist who lives and works in Cannes, France.
His ceramics are highly sought-after by art collectors, and each of his pieces is unique.
Georges Pelletier first became involved in the ceramic arts at the Pioulier school in Vence, southern France, where he studied in 1953.
The following year, he moved to Paris, where he attended the Académie Charpentier. In 1955, he entered the École des Arts et Métiers, where he also practiced and perfected his ceramic techniques at Poteries d'Accolay.
Paris offered him a vast cultural environment, where he often visited the studios of Fernand Léger and other artists.
In the early 1960s, he opened his first ceramics studio in Paris, where he began creating one-off pieces that attracted the attention of Maison Bobois, which from 1961 to 1973 sold his creative lamps and sculptures with shades made by Pierre Ménard from Roche Bobois fabrics.
In 1973, he moved to Cannes, where he set up a new workshop in which he works to this day alongside his son.
His style can be recognized by the solar motifs he incorporates into his ceramics, and the use of small golden beads suspended from chromed nickel rods.
