About the Item
Pierre Marie Brisson is a French painter known for his Iconographic style. His work appropriates the forms, concepts, and imagery of art history. Spanning from prehistoric art to Rococo and Modernism, his work blur the lines of authorship and reference. This piece is a pertinent example of his abstract series where he incorporates mixed media and oils to unearth textures that mimic a historic time telling a story through gestural lines and bold choices of color. Comes displayed in a modern light gold metal frame and is signed on lower right and verso.
Art measures 39 x 32 inches
Frame measures 40 x 33 inches
Pierre Marie was born in 1955 in Orléans, France and knew by the age of 14 that he was an artist. Although he never had formal art school training, he did have a teacher who encouraged him to follow his dreams. As a young man, he was inspired by, and worked with, several artists including Bernard Saby, Bram Van Velde and James Coignard, essentially learning his craft as an apprentice.
As a painter, Brisson integrates French decorative aestheticism – evident from Manet to Matisse – into modernist Primitivism. Using a collage technique, Brisson combines various elements in his compositions, imitating the rough surface of an ancient wall, the craquelure of old paint, the decorative pattern of wallpaper and woven fabric. Brisson’s art is avant-garde and ingenious, yet timeworn and antique. It is skillfully crafted with the best materials, yet part of its success rests with the fact that his works are fashioned from the discarded fragments of our disposable civilization, rescued and revitalized by the hand of an artist.
He uses several subjects and motifs repeatedly. Art historian Jennifer Katanic observed: “His work unravels the mystery of art through a careful reflection on familiar motifs. Matisse is recognized through his palm fronds and dancers, Degas by his ballerinas, the masters of Ancient Greece in a trio of athletes and the feminine graces. Each motif is transformed through process and materiality into a living picture. Jasper Johns accomplished something similar in his use of the American flag; immediate recognition of something known freed the viewer to experience the making of art more directly. And that in turn, allowed the viewer to figure out more readily what exactly the artist was accomplishing through his choices.”
Brisson has an extensive exhibition history, primarily in Europe and his work can be found in the permanent collections of institutions throughout the world. He has a studio in Paris as well as one in the ancient city of Aigues Morte in the south of France. He spends most of his time painting in the south and can often be found working on his boat as it drifts down the Rhône River in the warm summer months.
PROVENANCE: Estate of a Private collection Dania Beach, Florida; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

Pierre Marie Brisson
Pierre Marie Brisson, a contemporary artist with a studio in the South of France, was born in Orleans, France in 1955. He began to show an interest in painting around the age of 14. Though he worked in a variety of non-art related positions, eventually he acquiesced to his passion and devoted his life to creative endeavors. He met and studied with painter Bernard Saby during his teenage years, and then settled in Paris in 1979 to study James Coignard, Antoni Clave, Joan Miro, and Antoni Tapies. Brisson’s works have often been compared to cave drawings. The simplicity of the images used is intended to contrast with the textured elements in his work, to give the impression of being both timeless as well as chic and current. Brisson’s work is displayed in the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, San Francisco Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale Jewish Museum, New York George Page Museum, Los Angeles Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris Musee de la Poste, Paris Pushkin Museum, Moscow Musee Faure, haute couture Paris Groupe Cartier, and the Argentina Musee de L’Hospice Saint-Roch, among many others.
