Pierre le Riche is a conceptual artist with a practice spanning many mediums and techniques, widely recognised for his dynamic use of string and textiles. He uses thread as structural element – both a connection point, an unravelling, and a space demarcation – and evokes a complex set of ready-made associations through material and colour use: exploring permeable gender roles and liminal identities.
Le Riche holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Cape Town’s Michaelis School of Fine Art.He has participated in many projects and exhibitions in South Africa and abroad, and has worked with the likes of Cartier, Daimler, Power Play, and Trenery. He has recently showed adaptations of his Rainbow Room installation in the USA and China; both part of traveling exhibitions.
