Nico Pearleyes (b. 1989). I am a French contemporary painter based in Paris. I have spent significant time between South Korea and the French Alps, near the Swiss border. The intense and cosmopolitan energy of Seoul and the wilderness and majestic nature of the Alps have informed my art practice and my taste for painting landscapes. In my work I explore the boundary between reality and imagination through a visual language drawing on influences such as Renaissance painting, traditional Korean art, skateboard culture, Post-Impressionism, and Surrealism.
