Yellow energy node (2021) Textile Art by Piotre

Piotre is a contemporary French artist. Piotre is a prominent member of the new generation of graffiti artists, steadily ascending in recognition and acclaim. While many artists claim a lifelong ion for art, Piotre's case seems tailor-made. Even in kindergarten, the young Caennais confidently declared his ambition to become a painter or draftsman, and he eagerly sought out books on Picasso. His artistic journey continued to flourish as he later enrolled in the high school of applied arts, La Ruche, and subsequently graduated from Strate College, an esteemed art and design school in Paris. Accumulating a diverse range of influences, Piotre fearlessly blends styles, achieving a remarkable fusion of pop art and street art.

The adjective frequently associated with Piotre is "hyperactive," a testament to his constant drive to embrace new challenges and push the boundaries of media and techniques. He effortlessly transitions from canvas work in his studio to creating street murals. Piotre has also collaborated with prominent brands seeking a youthful and playful image, such as the watchmaker Louis Pion. Cities have also sought Piotre's artistic prowess for large-scale projects, with notable locations including Lyon, Lisbon, Marrakech, and Miami.

Piotre's work bears significant and often explicit influence from late twentieth-century masters such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring, to name a few. Finally, one cannot overlook the profound influence of American advertising from the 1950s and the world of comics on Piotre's artistic oeuvre.
