Biography
Pierre Lamalattie is a painter and writer. He is graduated from the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grigon and he worked as an engineering for fifteen years, working for the Ministry of Culture, as mediator in industrial restructuring and as human resources teacher.
Taking inspiration from his professional experience, Lamalattie paints the disillusionment of today's world, more particularly work and debt, the world of managers and excutives and the trials and tribulations of sexuality. In 2009, he begins a series of imaginary portraits with text, using the genre of the curriculum vitae to reduce an entire life to the essential, in one look. This series of about 150 portraits constitutes a large overview of our time, reflecting a feeling of alienation at work and perpetuation of clichés, corporate jargons and new moralism.
The naturalist qualities of his work reveal a bitter sense of humor tinged, a kind of detachment not deprived of compassion. In 2011 and 2013, he published two novels in which he continues his dissection of today's society.
