Born June 1955 in Orléans. Brisson is one of Europe's most talented young contemporary artists. With simplified figures and extensive texturing, Brisson's works have been compared to cave drawings. Their timeless appearances represent a kind of archeological dig for the artist: he cuts, scratches and pierces the multi-layered surfaces of his canvases to reveal his images from within the strata of these materials. Brisson's original and graphic artworks have been the subject of numerous gallery and museum exhibitions throughout Western Europe, North America, and Japan.
He makes the acquaintance of the painter Bernard Saby who encourages him.1975. First exhibition at the Charles Péguy museum in Orléans, his hometown..1978. First exhibition at the Lucette Herzog gallery in Orléans.1979. Works on his first etchings in the Pasnic atelier, Paris.1980. First exhibition in New York organized by the publisher BrunoRoulland.From 1981 to 2006. Regular exhibitions in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden and the United States of America where he is recognised as a major artist and is present in a number of collections, both public (Fine Arts Museums, Achenbach Foundation, San Francisco, Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale …) and private (Mr. Pier Luigi Loro Piana, Société Générale, …). He now lives between San Francisco, Paris and Nîmes, near the Scamandre vines that he helped establish amongst the ranks of the great Rhone valley wines.
