Painter, photographer, filmmaker and novelist, Pierre Maraval is an eclectic artist and traveler. He lived in Paris, New York, Lisbon and Havana and lived in Canada for his latest exhibition 'Thousand women Montreal' and 'Thousand women Toronto'.
Self-taught artist, his early works are figurative paintings on the theme of violence on television, displayed at a gallery in Manhattan in 1982. Then come many solo exhibitions, figurative exercises based on the multiple ways of representing the human body.
In 1993, with the exhibition 'Thousand women', Pierre Maraval initiates a new mode of representation, this time aimed to show social networks. Each exhibition gives rise to a monumental installation gathering portraits of the thousand people linked by a common situation in society. This is the series 'Portraits X 1000'.
