Le Closier   New & remarkable Artists

Mixing Pop Art and Street Art, Le Closier began painting on the walls of his Montparnasse neighborhood in Paris. In the 50s, this location was famous for being the gathering point of writers and painters including Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Modigliani, and more.

Later, Le Closier made official portraits for tennis players Serena Williams, Kei Nishikori, Gustavo "Guga" Kuerten, Bryan Brothers, David Goffin, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, and Jeremy Chardy; as well as American golf players Cristie Kerr and Paris-Saint-Germain's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and many several others.

In May 2016, he was asked by France Pavilion to paint a portrait of Chief Justice Stephen Breyer for the French/American business week at the French Embassy in Washington, DC.

Le Closier creates colorful compositions inspired by celebrities, arts, comics, advertising, and fashion. He often mixes people, brands, and symbols on different supports like canvas, laser-cut shapes, statues, and more.

His works have been seen in galleries and public places. From Paris to Los Angeles, Dubai to Melbourne, and Washington to Miami, Le Closier has undoubtedly achieved international recognition.
