THE ARTIST: THIERRY DE CORDIER
Thierry De Cordier is a philosopher, visual artist, writer and poet. As a young artist, he lived a nomadic existence that led him to think about architecture as a model for social relations. For a long time, his garden was a substitute and a metaphor for the world. Later, he turned his back on the world to look at the sea.
The grey skies and inky black seas in his paintings evoke melancholy, with the most dramatic scenes being those in which waves and mountainous cliffs merge to embody the forces of nature in a single primal image.
