Here's a new section about French artists (drawer, painter or photographer) for who Marilyn has been
an inspiration.
Bruno
If you have looked through Marilyn's dedicated websites, you must have seen the wonderful and very touching Bruno's drawings.
Pierre Alivon
Artistic
photographer, Pierre lives in Paris. His favourite subject matter is urban lifestyles and people.
He has travelled to the four
corners of the globe in search of the photographs that best capture the
zeitgeist and show people at their most authentic. Thanks to his
discreet nature and discerning eye, Pierre blends effortlessly into
diverse environments, and shines a light on details which both
captivate and transport the observer. His singular approach has enabled
him to create a photographic record of lifestyles throughout the
world. He has explored some sixty countries to date, including Bhutan,
Colombia, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Russia, Burma, Japan, China and South
Africa.
He recently completed a project entitled "Memories of the Present" (www.1900paris.fr) which builds a bridge between Paris during the Belle Epoque and its current population. This is the fruit of an unlikely union between his own photographs and those of a fashion photographer taken in 1900. He has since extended this work with a series entitled "Interpreting the Nude" which couples the erotic photography of 1900 with present-day codes, focusing especially on tattoos.
In Fall 2014, he was exhibited during the "Journées du Patrimoine" at the Train Bleu in Gare de Lyon, Paris, and also in Compiègne, for a contemporary vision of Marilyn Monroe.
Bruno Lelièvre
Bruno is a current artist, who lives in Quimper (Brittany).
Multi-facets artist, he doesn't use only one approach : he's always searching innovation, the approaches he uses and shows to the public through exhibitions, cultural evets...under several alias, allowing him to have a rich and original creation ability.
