Pierre Sorlier (born 1957)

With great technical virtuosity and a keen eye for detail, Pierre Sorlier constructs a hyper-realistic body of work in which he expresses his fascination with the painter’s craft. The tools essential to creation are recurrent in his work, not only brushes but also his omnipresent easel, not forgetting the painting within the painting or the work within the work, a form of mise en abyme and the artist’s reflection on the act of creation.
