Author, painter, illustrator, Pierre Cornuel was born in 1952 in France. Awarded a diploma by the college of the modern arts of Paris, he published about fifty albums for youth, mainly with the publisher Grasset. His work as an illustrator and a meditative painter is worth to him an international recognition and numerous prizes.
Biography
Son of a sales representative, Pierre Cornuel discovers painting and drawing thanks to the works of Fautrier, Rothko, but also the weekly Spirou, to which he is subscribed from his youngest age.
The variety of its sources of inspiration, in which it is again necessary to add the Jazz, the dodecaphonic music, or Jimi Hendrix, makes a polymorphic and unclassifiable artist.
So, Pierre Cornuel collaborates, in youth publishing, with Henriette Bichonnier or Lydia Devos.His meditative, but also carnal painting, and crossed with distortions, is well known and exposed in several countries.
Pierre Cornuel is also an illustrator in press, advertising, alive arts and the record industry.
He collaborates in the creation of cartoon movies (such “The Santa Claus and the Magician”, in 1994).
In 2007, he founded, with other artists stemming from the painting, literature, or theater, the collective Lena Gallery.
