Toulouse. Cazaux: Hats off to the artist!
Character attached and especially immediately identifiable with his top hat, Pierre Cazaux D’Artagnan strolls on his bike in the Saint-Cyprien district in Toulouse always full of projects and ideas. This native Gersois with a strong character, is well known in the Pink City for his eccentric outfits, his Salvador Dali-style mustache, his small paintings of Toulouse, his portraits and his caricatures. “I regret the lack of recognition and sensitivity to the culture of my contemporaries” he regrets however.
“Cazaux” as his friends and neighbors like to call him likes to indicate through his paintings “the violence against women” or “the brutality of capitalism towards the Third World”.
Passionate about history and humanist culture, he transmits in his works his spiritual questions that can be found in paintings such as “the Angelics, the Diabolical, the Tortured and the Ostriches”. We can also admire them during his exhibition at the start of the school year in September. A good part of his paintings can be consulted on Youtube through video animations in song or on his website.
where he invites you to follow “his hectic adventures of a colorful artist’s life and rich in a unique experience”. Finally, through his rants he very often questions the place of artists and the singularity of each within the city. He defines himself as a “free and cultured painter” and makes it a point of honor to exercise his art with “passion and seriousness”. All of his adventures can be read in his autobiographical books divided into 4 volumes where he tells, among other stories, twenty years of adventures around the world and in Toulouse.
