Cet été 2016, ai donc profité du beau temps pour peindre dehors plusieurs fois ce phare de la Pointe du Chat de l'Île de Groix. J'étais à Locmaria pendant 15 jours, ai travaillé en peintures dehors dans la cours du bar tabac Pop's Tavern. ( Lieu public simple, populaire pour les Groisillons.
On les surnomme les greks, en référence au breton qui signifie "cafetière". Parce qu'à Groix le café est une véritable institution. Ce café qui coule dans les cuisines et qui ravigote les pêcheurs, c'est aussi le café que l'on partage dans les troquets. Ici, ils sont de hauts lieux de convivialité et de vitalité culturelle.

Sur l’Ile de Groix, on peut aussi partir à la découverte d’un paysage d’une variété surprenante : côte sauvage,
vallons, criques, plages…
Le vrai nom des habitants, c’est groisillon. Mais on les surnomme les greks, en référence au breton qui signifie «
cafetière ». Parce qu’à Groix le café est une véritable institution. Ce café qui coule dans les cuisines et qui
ravigote les pêcheurs, c’est aussi le café que l’on partage dans les troquets. Ici, ils sont de hauts lieux de convivialité et de vitalité culturelle.

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.
