© Pierre Marquès 2022

Pierre Marquès (Béziers, 1970) has lived in Barcelona since 1998. His work spans painting, stenciling, classical drawing, visual poems, photography, installation, street art, and video. He explores historical memory through landscapes. In October 2013, he exhibited TOUT SERA OUBLIÉ at the ARTS SANTA MÒNICA contemporary art center in Barcelona. Since 2007, he has been working on a significant series of paintings titled “Mon manège à moi”, which was partially presented at the Scrawitch Gallery in Paris in 2012. He also showcased this work in the form of a lecture in April 2014 at the BPI of the Centre Georges Pompidou. Through portraits of historical figures, he reinterprets history, giving rise to his “Anonymes” series, where the superimposition of these figures creates new narratives. In May 2015, the Espace Dominique Bagouet in Montpellier hosted his exhibition “Créer c’est résister”, featuring a series of large-format portraits of anonymous authors, alongside a sound installation titled “Echo-système”. The exhibition “Jardins chimériques” was displayed in Barcelona on the walls of Espai d’Art Casa Capella, where he presented a new pictorial project and a video installation paying tribute to the victims of the August 17–18, 2017, terrorist attacks in Catalonia. In June 2018, France’s Centre des monuments nationaux (CMN) hosted his land art installation “Les Jardins d’Ośain” in the ruins of the Oppidum d’Ensérune museum. Since then, his work in the streets of southern France and Barcelona has continued to grow. From his studio, he develops new pictorial projects that highlight his concerns about climate change, the environment, and life, while addressing the question: What can painting still do in the 21st century?
