Digital portfolio
Marc Pierrard is an allround artist, creating not only figurative and abstract paintings, sculptures and prints, but also large installations and great multimedia projects which are presented ih the digital portfolio on his website called "INTERNET HEADQUARTER".
Eat your Picasso (the reminiscence of '68), Modern Conspiracy (a media "performance"), The Schoolyard, Etat des Lieux, Tannhäuser in Paris, Buffet Autricho-Americain, The Comfort of being Afraid, To reduce the choir to one solist, ... are some of the titles of his works realized or planned. Marc Pierrard mixes all available techniques and materials to create his artworks.
Most of the characters in his figurative compositions are taken from the HISTORY of ART, more or less known paintings, that touched the artist in a way or another. He mostly works by "clin d'oeil" or reference, ...knowing the original artworks and the context in which they were created.
The stories around them or the life of the artist(s), is definitly a PLUS in the reading of his work, but not fundamental.
