AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Digigraphie (giclée print) number 1 of 30 copies. Limited edition of 30 prints on Hahnemühle William Turner 310g paper from an original oil on canvas painting 100 by 100 cm from 2015. Signature bottom right. The numbering bottom left. Signed and numbered on the back. A complete, signed certificate of authenticity will also be provided to the purchaser.
An unexpected moment depicting the foundations on stilts of a jetty located on the American West Coast. The deep tones of turquoise blue and white, playing with shadows and light, give the scene a mysterious aura.
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 a body of work on the theme of New York facades and their cast shadows, inspired by American hyperrealists.
Always captivated by light, his work took a new direction a few years later, focusing on passages. The contrast effect between shadow and light induced by this subject is the hallmark of this period. The dark frame magnifies outer brightness and directs the gaze toward a dazzling opening, letting the imagination flow toward the light. Beyond the pictorial aspect, the symbolism of the strength of transition is expressed in these passages.
Having long declined all kinds of backlighting in cafés, urban atmospheres, nocturnal and snowy landscapes, portraits… his painting now leans toward reflections, notably of the sea. Always with the same care given to chromatic accuracy, Pierre is now passionate about the decomposition of light and its interaction. By using brushstrokes close to abstraction when the eye zooms in on details, his canvases—most often large in scale—emit a vibrational force of great intensity.
Pierre Riollet regularly exhibits in many galleries and contemporary art fairs. His works are now in numerous private collections.
His career is a bit like a progressive zoom, from one canvas to another, passing through all these passages, moving toward the light.
