Who is pier?

Son of parents working abroad, pier, alias Pierre Sullice, spent his childhood and adolescence in Latin America. It was during his stay in Ecuador, thanks to the friendship of his son-in-law, that he discovered Oswaldo Guayasamín’s work and awakened to the plastic arts. From that day, he has been passionate about painting, notably modern and contemporary.

After studying modern literature and philosophy, pier joined the Fémis before writing his first fiction screenplay, the story of a painter exiled in the Cévennes who discovers a materialist approach to painting thanks to a person with Down syndrome. Entitled “Les bois transparents,” the screenplay won the Cent Premières œuvres, a competition set up by France Télévisions. Pier also produced the film himself, which was broadcast on France 3, RFO and TMC and awarded at numerous festivals.

Not giving up writing, reading and audiovisual animation, pier continues his exploration of the visual arts, creating many collages inspired by drawings by children. In 2023, after ending his career in audiovisual, he settled in the Gard to devote himself exclusively to painting.

Thriving in his Lecques studio, pier broadens his pictorial research by using recycled paper or decorative canvases on stretchers through acrylic paint, felt-tip pen or pastel. In doing so, he openly aligns himself with an Art Brut and Cobra movement that owes as much to Chaissac as to Karel Appel, Alechinsky or Lindström. By blending spontaneity and humor, he forges a personal path that leads to a gallery of characters both surprising and endearing.
