An unexpected moment depicting the grounded foundations of a pontoon located on the American West Coast. The deep shades of turquoise blue and white, playing with shadows and light, give the scene a mysterious aura. About Pierre Pierre Riollet graduated from the École d’Art Auguste Renoir in Paris in 1983. After 20 years in advertising as an Art Director, he decided to devote himself exclusively to painting. Following a trip to the United States in 1987, he began work on the theme of New York façades and their cast shadows, inspired by American hyperrealists. Always captivated by light, his work took a new direction a few years later, on the theme of passages. The contrast between shadow and light induced by this subject is the hallmark of this period. The dark frame magnifies the outer brightness and directs the gaze toward a dazzling opening, letting the imagination drift toward the light. Beyond the pictorial aspect, it is also the symbolism of the force of transition that is expressed in these passages. Having long declined all types of backlighting in cafés, urban atmospheres, night and snowy landscapes, portraits… his painting now leans toward reflections, notably of the sea. Always with the same care given to chromatic accuracy, Pierre is now passionate about the decomposition of light and its interaction. Through the use of brushstrokes close to abstraction when the eye zooms in on details, his canvases—most of the time large formats—emanate a vibrational energy of great intensity. Pierre Riollet regularly exhibits in numerous galleries and contemporary art fairs. His works are now part of numerous private collections. His journey is a little like a progressive zoom that, from one canvas to the next, traversing all these passages, advances toward light.
