About Pierre
Pierre Riollet graduated from the Auguste Renoir School of Art in Paris in 1983. After 20 years spent 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 cast 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 between shadow and light induced by this subject is a hallmark of this period. The dark frame magnifies the external clarity and guides the gaze toward a dazzling opening, letting the imagination flow toward the light. Beyond the pictorial aspect, it is also the symbolism of the strength of transition that is expressed in these passages.
After having long declined all kinds of backlighting in cafés, urban atmospheres, nocturnal and snowy landscapes, portraits… his painting now turns toward reflections, especially of the sea. Always with the same care given to chromatic accuracy, Pierre today pursues the decomposition of light and its interaction. By employing brushstrokes close to abstraction when the eye zooms in on the details, his canvases—mostly large formats—radiate a vibrational force of great intensity.
Pierre Riollet regularly exhibits in numerous galleries and contemporary art fairs. His works are now part of numerous private collections.
His journey is a bit like a progressive zoom that, from canvas to canvas, traversing all these passages, moves toward the light.
