Presentation

Jean-Pierre Pietri was born in 1980 in Ajaccio. Passionate about art history and literature since childhood, he studied literature and was interested during his studies in semiology, anthropology and philosophy. The torn color: His artistic approach leads him to let emerge from urban chaos the colored nuances hidden in the layers of paper. By exploiting the advertising, political and union posters abounding on the walls, the artist takes the side of color by bringing to the fore the extraordinary palette offered by this medium. Like an archaeologist, the colors he discovers in his urban excavations, until now stifled under thick layers of paper, rediscover natural light. This archaeological search for color has pushed the artist to dig, to tear, by subtraction of matter, unlike painting until discovering raw tones, real pleasure for the eye; The poster then intervenes with its shimmering nuances like a marvelous bloom. This artistic approach is good to prove that by going to seek what is best in humanity, by digging until we find the foundations of our soul, by lacerating all prejudices, color will open the doors to us. poetry, optimism and tolerance. "the color is in us" Goethe, treaty of colors
