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.

La vallée de l’Epte, de Gisors à la Roche-Guyon
Mon circuit en la vallée de l’Epte, de Gisors à la Roche-Guyon
Thématique générale de mes activités artistiques publiques (sculptures, land art, décors, évenementiels ) 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.
L’Epte prend sa source dans le pays de Bray (Seine-Maritime) à 192 m d’altitude et rejoint la Seine près de Giverny (Eure) à 19 m d’altitude. Longue de 113 kilomètres, elle a un débit régulier et assez calme. Le fond de la vallée étant souvent marécageux et inondable, les villages se sont groupés sur le piémont des coteaux, au débouché des affluents de l’Epte. Large de 2 kilomètres environ, la vallée a permis la culture du peuplier et d’arbres fruitiers. Les coteaux raides sont boisés ou en friches, les coteaux plus doux sont cultivés. A dominante rurale, la vallée connaît néanmoins une urbanisation liée à l’expansion démographique de l’Ile-de-France. Ce lien, c'est justement ce qui m'interresse à pratiquer en art public, je ne suis pas frontièriste !
Mon atelier 2017 est maintenant au Prieuré, 3 place Rollon 95770 Saint Clair sur Epte. (2013-2016 j'étais à La Roche-Guyon, en bas du château, 1 place de l'Ecu)
Depuis le traité de Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, signé en 911 par Charles III le Simple, roi de France, et Rollon, « jarl » viking, l’Epte est avant tout la frontière historique entre la Normandie et la France. Devenu comte de Rouen, Rollon s’engageait à protéger la province des incursions des « hommes du Nord ». Ce traité est considéré comme l’acte de naissance du futur duché de Normandie.
