Pierre Marie Brisson
Pierre-Marie Brisson is a French painter of the Colorist movement, born in Orléans on June 11, 1955. His studio, located in Aigues-Mortes in the Gard department, allows him to stay close to his main inspiration: the Mediterranean.
He is interested in art through archaeology and prehistory. A painter from the age of 14, he developed his craft under the guidance of Bernard Saby. He took fine art classes at the age of 20, in 1975, and organized his first exhibition at the Charles Peguy Museum in Orléans. In 1976, he decided to leave his job at Robert Laffont Publishing.
From then on, he focused on "being in real life, receiving, sharing, traveling" to fuel his urge to paint. This primacy of freedom is evident in his earliest works, warm-colored engravings depicting letters and figures. He never ceases to experiment, in constant dialogue with the medium. He explores primitive arts, prehistory, and archaeology.
In 1979, Pierre Marie Brisson began engraving at the Pasnic workshop in the 20th arrondissement of Paris with the Herzog family.
In 1994, he decided to settle in the Camargue, in Aigues-Mortes. He took the opportunity to regularly exhibit in the Gard region. Some of his works are available at the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris. His presence is growing in public and private collections.
