Son of parents working abroad, Pier, also known as Pierre Sullice, spent his childhood and adolescence in Latin America. It was during his stay in Ecuador, thanks to the friendship of his son-in-law, that he discovered the work of Oswaldo Guayasamín and awakened to the visual arts. Since that day, he has been passionately devoted to painting, particularly modern and contemporary. After studying modern literature and philosophy, Pier joined La Fémis before writing his first fiction screenplay, the story of a painter exiled in the Cévennes who discovers a materialist approach to painting thanks to a person with Down syndrome. Titled “The Transparent Woods,” the screenplay won the Cent Premières œuvres, a competition organized by France Télévisions. Pier himself made the film, which was broadcast on France 3, RFO and TMC and awarded at numerous festivals. Without renouncing writing, reading and audiovisual animation, Pier continues exploring the visual arts, creating numerous collages inspired by drawings by children. In 2023, after ending his career in audiovisual, he settled in the Gard to devote himself exclusively to painting. Thriving in his Lecques studio, Pier broadens his pictorial research by using recycled paper supports or decorative canvases on stretchers through acrylic painting, marker, or pastel. In doing so, he openly aligns with an Art Brut and Cobra current that owes as much to Chaissac as to Karel Appel, Alechinsky, or Lindström. By blending spontaneity and humor, he forges a personal path that leads to a florilegium of characters both surprising and endearing.
