Pierre Lamblin

Art Collect - Pierre-Lamblin

Born in 1973, Pierre Lamblin is a visual artist from Cannes. After a successful professional career, he chose, at the age of forty, to follow his artistic vocation. He set up his gallery–studio on the old port of Cannes, just a few steps from the Palais des Festivals, and opened a showroom in Monaco. His works quickly found their way into contemporary art collections around the world. His cosmopolitan and discerning clientele includes numerous personalities and private collectors.

Creator of a singular style he calls MultiLayers, Pierre Lamblin builds immersive pieces by superimposing 3 to 4 plates to create striking depth effects. He uses epoxy resin to encapsulate his creations, like present-day fossils frozen for eternity. His themes are varied yet coherent — consumer society, climate, social networks, childhood, and wildlife. He aims for his works to be accessible, readable and inspiring. Through his art, he conveys joy, a call for reflection, and a sharp perspective on our time.

Inventor of a singular style called MultiLayers, Pierre Lamblin creates immersive artworks by superimposing several hand-cut and hand-painted plates in a quest for visual and narrative depth. Through this approach, he recreates volumes, strata and abysses — layers of meaning and sensation. The entire composition is then encapsulated in a thick coat of epoxy resin, freezing the scene like a contemporary relic. The artwork becomes at once image, sculpture and object, halfway between installation and painting. The viewer is invited to dive in, to literally immerse themselves, like a diver discovering a shipwreck or a buried dream.

His favourite themes reflect a sharp gaze on the contemporary world: consumer society, technological excess, environment, collective memory, childhood and popular icons. Pierre Lamblin rejects conceptual hermeticism. He wants his works to captivate, amuse, sometimes unsettle — but always speak. Thus, figures like Mickey Mouse, wild animals or ecological references coexist with urban codes or digital symbols. Together, they form a visual language that is pop and critical, joyful and clear-eyed.

Deeply attached to his city, he also invests public space in the manner of a street artist. He places his works in parks, on roundabouts or on walls — without warning, without labels. Among his most striking interventions are his wire ant sculptures, sometimes giant, scattered across Cannes like artistic nods to resilience, community and ecological threat. Some have disappeared, stolen or taken by unscrupulous admirers; others continue to joyfully haunt public gardens.

An experimenter at heart, Lamblin fiercely claims his creative freedom. He allows himself to work with metal, resin, drawing, collage and even scenography. For him, art must step out of the gallery, speak to everyone, provoke an immediate emotion. He quotes Oscar Wilde and rejects any façade of modesty: “Humility is the quality of hypocrites… The duty of the artist is self-affirmation.” A statement embodied in every piece, every gesture, every poetic provocation.

In this free and committed approach, Pierre Lamblin dreams of turning Cannes into an open-air gallery. He continues to scatter his works as others scatter seeds. He hopes that one day, artists will no longer have to wait to be invited to exhibit. They will exhibit where they live, where they love, where they believe art can change the way we see the world.
