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 the work of Oswaldo Guayasamín and awakened to the visual arts. Since that day, he has continuously become passionate about painting, notably modern and contemporary.
After studying modern literature and philosophy, pier joined La Fémis before writing his first fiction screenplay, the tale of a painter exiled in the Cévennes who discovers a materialist approach to painting thanks to a triphthalmic? (the original says a trisomique, which translates to a person with Down syndrome; I will translate carefully) a person with Down syndrome. Titled “The Transparent Woods,” the screenplay won the Cent Premières œuvres, a competition set up by France Télévisions. Pier produced the film himself, which was broadcast on France 3, RFO and TMC and awarded at many festivals.
Without renouncing writing, reading and audiovisual animation, pier continues exploring the visual arts, creating numerous collages inspired by drawings from children. In 2023, after ending his journey in audiovisual, he settled in the Gard to devote himself exclusively to painting.
Thriving in his studio in Lecques, pier widens his pictorial research by utilizing recycled paper supports or decorative canvases on frames through acrylic painting, markers, or pastels. In doing so, he openly aligns himself with an Art Brut and Cobra current 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 rich array of characters both surprising and endearing.
