Pierre Gimenez

Pierre Gimenez was born in Spain, studied Fine Arts and went on to master sculpture in wood, stone and metal. He is also a composer, author, performer, poet and actor, and he moves between the guitar and the canvas as though they were the same instrument. It shows in the work, which reads as poetry about nature, light and the warm colour of the south.

His subject is usually the Iberian landscape, and what he is after is its essence more than its detail. He builds relief generously and simply, with a refinement that manages to be delicate and forceful at the same time, and his landscapes always look as if the southern sun has just crossed them.

His work keeps moving towards firmer structure and a more defined style of his own. He has exhibited at La Bastille in Paris, Omnium Gallery in Barcelona, Playa de Aro, Arte Gallery in Alicante and Palma de Mallorca, and holds permanent exhibitions in Paris, Saint Tropez, Prague, Montreal, Kyiv, Megeve and Rome, including at the Peugeot Foundation in Paris.
