Armchair by Erik de Saint-Pierre

"The Armchair in the Seine was inspired by a series on "La belle époque". A painting full of nostalgia and novels from the beginning of the century, but also on the material that transforms and corrodes. The "Georges V" is purely imaginary. It existed but does not resemble in any way the one I painted."

Erik de Saint Pierre was born in Paris in 1958. He shared his youth between the Paris region and Normandy. He created his first communication agency in Jersey at the age of 16. After his baccalaureate, he joined the Met workshop at Penninghen and then the École Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques (Paris VI). After working as a layout artist at the Éditorial agency, art director at Lire and then creative director at the LG group, he created his own communications agencies (Lanscape, Graph'M, Vif Argent and Pégase) while maintaining his activities as creative director and multimedia designer.
In 2010, Erik leaves the Paris region to devote himself to painting in Normandy. Member of several associations of Norman painters, it is in 2013 that he creates La p'tite galerie in Honfleur. Since 2015 he leads a painting workshop in Gonneville-sur-Honfleur.
Since June 2016, Erik has joined the dictionary of artists alongside the Hotel Drouot.
