Pierre Picot was a Franco American artist who spent his childhood in Paris and his adolescence and adulthood in Los Angeles. As an immigrant, having experienced this dramatic shift in cultures and environments at a formative age, he often described his working process as a way of seeking home. A Flaneur by nature, his spiritual home was always in his work, whether he worked at his dining room table, in a sprawling studio, on his travels, or walking in the forest.
