Profile

The principle of illusion is at the heart of the art of decor, and Matthieu Lemarié excels in this field. He practices painting in very varied forms, relating to both decorative arts and crafts: monumental frescoes, delicate illuminations, enameled ceramic tiles, painted canvases for the Opera, striking trompe-l'oeil, or even faithful reproductions for the cinema. His unique know-how leads him to collaborate with prestigious clients such as renowned museums, famous directors, and leading institutions.

He contributes to the development of the sets of many operas in emblematic places such as the Paris Opera, Versailles or Rouen. His talents are also sought after by figures of the artistic scene such as Ariane Mnouchkine, Zingaro or the Cirque du Soleil, for whom he designs spectacular sets.

Cinema was his first playground after graduating, where he participated in the creation of frescoes for the film "Vatel". Subsequently, he collaborated with directors such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Roman Polanski, Alain Chabat, Éric Rohmer and Woody Allen, for whom he notably painted a fake Picasso.

Recognized for his expertise in the arts and crafts, Matthieu Lemarié also works in museum scenography and window design. Since 2019, the GGSV design agency has called on him for various large-scale projects, notably at the Villa Medici, where his art and know-how continue to fascinate.
