Pierre Celice was born in 1932 in Paris first studied law but quickly turned to drawing and painting. He had his first successes between 1950 and 1960 with exhibitions in particular at the Simone Badinier gallery. In the early 1970s, Pierre Célice worked in Peter Bramsen's lithography studio, which brought together the international artists of Cobra. He became familiar with the work of Bram Van Velde, Pierre Alechinsky, Asger Jorn, Karel Appel etc.
During Celice's evolution as an artist, he destroyed several years of painting as he was dissatisfied with his work and only found himself in alignment with his aesthetic towards the end of the 70s. In 1982, he moved back to Paris and took part in several group exhibitions. Since then, many exhibitions have been organized around his work in France and abroad.
Pierre Célice died on April 5, 2019 in Paris.
