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.

Planète VEXIN : Activités publiques d'arts (land-art, street-arts, sculptures, peintures, etc...) • 6 artworks

En mon métier d'artiste et souvent en participations d'associations, (Pact-en-Vexin, Pile Poil compagnie,[...]
En mon métier d'artiste et souvent en participations d'associations, (Pact-en-Vexin, Pile Poil compagnie, Atelier du Pommier, etc...) réalise de nombreuses activités publiques en arts, notamment donc des Land-Art. Des installations et des sculptures extérieures et mêmes simplement de grandes peintures extérieures décorant la nature et évoquant le patrimoine culturel local.
Je suis un créateur en amour sincère avec chaque clients que je rencontre, sa famille, son pays, son métier, le public qui passe etc...
Commencé aux USA et Russie aux années 1986-2000, actuellement je travaille le + souvent en arts public : Normandie et Île-de-France, Vexin normand, Vexin-Thelle, Vexin Val de Seine, PNR Vexin-Français et en étés travaille à l'Île-de-Groix, Mont Ventoux, et à La Ciotat Méditerranée.
Mes ateliers, en la vallée de l’Epte, de Gisors à la Roche-Guyon
Thématique générale de mes activités artistiques publiques (sculptures, land art, décors, événementiels ) et aussi de mes simples exercices de peintures sur motifs : ce circuit d'art suit le cours de l’Epte, ancienne frontière entre le royaume de France et le duché de Normandie, différents sites et châteaux fortifiés.
Actuellement réalise de grandes activités installations sculptures et Land Art avec de nombreux partenaires

Avant de me concentrer sur la création de toiles, créer des tableaux, (donc à partir des années 90 à Miami-Beach, Florida) et donc devenir un artiste normal, j'étais décorateur dés l'age de 20 ans, puis devenu international à 30 ans. Avec néanmoins mon concept déjà d'artiste : créer avec plaisir des peintures (géantes bien sur) exprimant certes les thèmes du client. Toujours donc en inspirations direct sous les plafonds, les murs, les façades de lieux publics, productions d'Art public !
Oui, je passe des centaines d'heures à étudier les éléments culturels, historiques, sociaux de chaque endroits à décorer utilement.
