Son of parents working abroad, pier, alias Pierre Sullice, spent his childhood and adolescence in Latin America. It was during his stay in Ecuador, thanks to his son‑in‑law’s friendship, that he discovered the work of Oswaldo Guayasamín and awakened to the plastic arts. Since that day, he has been passionate about painting, notably modern and contemporary. After studying modern literature and philosophy, pier joined the 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. Entitled « Les bois transparents », the screenplay is the winner of the Cent Premières œuvres, a competition established by France Télévisions. Pier himself makes the film which will be broadcast on France 3, RFO and TMC and awarded at numerous festivals. Without renouncing writing, reading and audiovisual animation, pier continues his exploration of the visual arts, creating numerous collages inspired by drawings by children. In 2023, after ending his career in audiovisual work, he settled in the Gard to devote himself exclusively to painting. Thriving in his Lecques studio, pier broadens his pictorial research by using supports on recycled paper or decorative canvases on frames 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 melding spontaneity and humor, he forges a personal path that leads to a flourish of characters both surprising and endearing.
