Brisson, Pierre Marie

Born June 1955 in Orléans. Brisson is one of Europe’s most talented young contemporary artists. With simplified figures and extensive texturing, Brisson’s works have been compared to cave drawings. Their timeless appearances represent a kind of archeological dig for the artist: he cuts, scratches and pierces the multi-layered surfaces of his canvases to reveal his images from within the strata of these materials. Brisson’s original and graphic artworks have been the subject of numerous gallery and museum exhibitions throughout Western Europe, North America, and Japan. He now lives between San Francisco, Paris and Nîmes, near the Scamandre vines that he helped establish amongst the ranks of the great Rhone valley wines.
