Séances plusieurs semaines de peinture publique devant le Château Gaillard, du 27 avril au 18 juin 2011
acrylique sur toile, 81x 116 cm, peint donc en direct sur le motif.
En relation avec ma grande action Land Art Vexin-Vikings 911-2011 (faisant participer une centaine d'artistes amateurs, enfants, agriculteurs, municipalités etc... ) j'ai improvisé au dernier moment un ciel différent.
En juin, devant un groupe de touristes allemands regardant à côté de moi la Seine à partir du parking du Château Gaillards des Andelys, j'ai barbouillé en quelques minutes le ciel de mon tableau avec des voiles de drakkars vikings (bandes blanches et rouges)

Pierre Marcel SCHMIDT, also known as Applestrophe, is an international painter specializing in ecological art. Born 35 years ago, he became an “ambassador of France” through his works focused on love and apples. His artistic journey took him to Miami Beach, Florida, where he left his mark in the heart of the historic Art-Deco district.
During his career, Pierre Marcel Schmidt has maintained a close link with three French regions, where he creates daily: Île de France, Normandy and Picardy. In addition, he devoted each summer to the study of the South of France, in particular Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer.
His professional career is rich in notable achievements. In the 1970s and 1980s, he began his career as a screen printer, then became a decorator, running a business with up to ten employees. His work consisted of beautifying Parisian restaurants and cinemas while promoting environmental protection.
From 1986 to 2005, Pierre Marcel Schmidt became an international decorator under the name Pierre Marcel, working in the United States, in Miami, Florida, with the company "Subject to Change". He contributed to the preservation and renovation of the Art-Deco area of Miami Beach, decorating stores, private and public spaces, as well as commissioned municipal murals. For seven years, from 1991 to 1998, he traveled to Moscow as an official American expert to create the scenery for the first tourist attractions and the new Moscow City Hall, while helping to train Russian students in trades of official decorators.
In 2001, Pierre Marcel Schmidt returned to France, this time as an ecological painter. He lives in Guerny, in Eure, where he works publicly to promote the Vexin Français Regional Natural Park. Since 2003, he has created daily artistic works in public art at the Salle du Prieuré in Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, a village linked to the history of the creation of Normandy during the peace treaty of 911 with the Vikings.
From 2013 to 2016, he also directed a workshop-gallery located in La Roche Guyon. Throughout his career, Pierre Marcel Schmidt, aka Applestrophe, has used art as a means of raising awareness of ecology and promoting French history and culture.
