About Pierre

Pierre Riollet graduated from the École d’Art Auguste Renoir in Paris in 1983. After 20 years in advertising as an art director, he decided to devote himself exclusively to painting. Following a trip to the United States in 1987, he began work on the theme of New York façades and their shadows, inspired by American hyperrealists.

Always captivated by light, his work took a new direction a few years later, on the theme of passages. The contrast effect between shadow and light induced by this subject is a hallmark of this period. The dark frame magnifies external clarity and directs the gaze toward a dazzling opening, letting the imagination drift toward the light. Beyond the pictorial aspect, it is also the symbolism of the strength of transition that is expressed in these passages.

Having long declined all kinds of backlighting in cafes, urban atmospheres, nocturnal and snowy landscapes, portraits… his painting now leans toward reflections, especially of the sea. Always with the same attention paid to chromatic accuracy, Pierre is now passionate about the decomposition of light and its interaction. Through the use of brushwork approaching abstraction when the gaze zooms in on details, his canvases—mostly, these days, large formats—emanate a vibratory energy of great intensity.

Pierre Riollet regularly exhibits in numerous galleries and contemporary art fairs. His works are now in many private collections.

His journey is somewhat like a progressive zoom which, from one canvas to another, traversing all these passages, advances toward the light.
