Suicide in Costume II

Piche studied at the Royal College of Art between 1960-64 during which time he worked as an assistant to Henry Moore (1898-1986). A fellow of the Royal British Society of Sculptors, Piche has exhibited at a number of London galleries including the Whitechapel. Piche's work came to prominence during the 1960s. He created sculpture using a variety of materials, the work often drawing upon contrasts between organic and geometric forms. Suicide in Costume II, like much of his work at the time, embraced the themes of pressure, violence and of life struggling for existence.
