Biography
Since childhood, Thierry Boitier has always drawn and "tinkered" with shapes and colors. Which, of course, led him as a teenager to join an art school and to study graphic arts and advertising more specifically.
Diploma in hand, he began to work in graphic design agencies but very quickly, he felt that this was not his place. He then turned to textile design and offered his creations to the big names in couture and furniture.
At the same time, he paints pictures but without finding a real orientation. It is the discovery of the work of the painter Richard Texier, more than 20 years ago, which will upset his pictorial codes and cause the spark at the origin of his rebirth as a painter. This discovery combined with his lifelong references (Paul Klee and especially the world of musician Brian Eno whose sound creations are for him comparable to pictorial works) will establish his perception of painting.
It was a gallery in Brussels that offered him his first major exhibition, which was followed by many others, notably in Paris, France, the Netherlands, California
Rather than a theme, Thierry Boitier prefers to speak of an evocation of space, travel and memory. He uses very matt pigments and binders on glued undercoats. And of course the integration of recycled materials (metals, old textiles, wood...).
