About Cépé
My name is Cédric Pierre-Bez and I was born in Marseille in 1984. I now live and work in Montpellier. After graduating as a graphic designer from the Kedge School of Design, I decided to devote myself to illustration, which I do on a freelance basis under the name CÉPÉ. Having grown up in Marseilles, my work captures the light and colours of the south of France. It's my main source of inspiration and where I draw my creative energy. My creations draw on the graphic influences that have had the greatest impact on me, mainly the major artistic movements of the 20th century, such as Cubism and Expressionism.In my compositions, I like to destructure space, bodies and faces to imagine a distorted and naive world. I like to sublimate the imperfections of my characters and highlight them because I find them beautiful. My favourite subjects are scenes from everyday life and nudes.
