Piotre (1988-)

Piotre, or Pierre Ygouf’s alias, is a french artist, born in Caen and trained in design at Paris. Initially struck and shaped by street art and « Throw up », his graphic experiments lead him under Keith Harring’s, Speddy’s and André’s figurative influences. Partly applying Bauhaus’s codes, his work is taking shape of a more abstract approach on colours, following Di Rosa’s, JonOne’s or Cop2 tracks.
Prolific Painter, multiplying supports and crossed collaborations, he is developing his vision as well in the proliferation of black and white patterns, composed artworks halfway between comics strip and Jeröme Bosch’s paintings, as in more abstract researches on the confrontation of primary colours, creating graphic chimeras who inhabit his world.  
On his canvases, which set on an endless universe in expansion, or on walls that he approaches as creations fully integrated in their environment, he questions incessantly the frontiers of our daily routine, inviting the spectators to extend his own experience.
