Background

Andre-Pierre Arnal was born on December 16, 1939 Nimes, France.

Education

Andre-Pierre Arnal studied Literature and History of Art at the University of Montpellier, France. But in the 1960s, he mainly conducted his research on his own.

Career

Andre-Pierre Arnal made his first personal exhibition in Montpellier in 1962. Moreover, he began exploring the monotype technique in the 1970s using a very origami like technique, the paper hen, as a springboard for a series of folds on canvas.

As the years roll by, Arnal continued exploring a wide range of media, from cotton canvas to old-fashioned classroom slates, and techniques, including imprints, crumpling, creasing, stenciling, and ripping.

Arnal has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Galerie Dutko, Ile Saint Louis. He is influenced by his discovery of Matisse, American abstract artists, but, most importantly, Paul Klee. Currently, he continues to live and work today in his Paris studio.
