Jean Pierre Serrier
(1934 - 1989)
(1934 - 1989)
Jean Pierre Serrier was a French painter known for surrealism and absurdist art.
After graduating in 1955, he was drafted for military service, spent time in Germany and Morocco, and was sent to the front lines of the Algerian War. Thus he experienced war both as a child and as a young soldier, and returned
psychologically traumatized by the war in Algeria. This moral wound expressed itself in nightmares…The apocalyptic side of his [later] paintings would reflect his uneasiness and his unresolved traumas.
