French artist Pierre Marie Brisson creates richly layered paintings where ancient motifs, modernist influences, and contemporary sensibility converge through bold color, texture, and movement. Incorporating paper cut-outs in the tradition of Henri Matisse, Brisson builds compositions that feel both spontaneous and deeply considered, balancing abstraction with references to the natural world, classical imagery, and art history. His paintings unfold through a continual process of layering, scraping, and reinvention, resulting in surfaces that feel simultaneously excavated and alive.
