Pierre is an English born artist who learned his craft training with the
notorious painter and swordsman Lorenzo Gandini.

Brought up a strict Roman Catholic, Pierre’s early experiences of authority
and religion deeply influence his art. Having been turned away from university
because of his dyslexia, he began producing art for the club scene painting
backdrops for raves across the country.

By the time he was 21 he was also working for the church conserving, restoring
and renovating for one of the ministers of the Church of England. Painting 
traditionally in oil and gold leaf he brought the two together and created 
his painting The Gallery Woman which became the iconic face of Gallery Night
at Turnmills. Struck by the spiritual aspects appropriable to both club 
and church he went on to paint DJs Judge Jules, Seb Fontaine, Tall Paul, 
Sister Bliss, Brandon Block and Alex P as saints for World DJ Day. Judge Jules
now hangs his portrait, Julius Maximus in his home study. 

Leading a varied life, Pierre soon crossed paths with retired celebrity gangster
Dave Courtney. His portrait of Dave which features real gold and diamond jewellery
depicts him as an angel, playing again, with increasing interest, in life’s
ambiguities and contradictions.

Pierre then went on to paint the late Diana Princess of Wales, raising funds for 
the Terence Higgins Trust and exhibiting as part of Think Pink.

In May last year Pierre was invited to lecture at Central St Martin’s in London.
Speaking to students about his process of creation he said: "The inspiration for 
my work comes from what I see and the people I meet; my research is the way I live
my life."
