A Celebration of Curves
Pierre Louis Riché was born into a family of farmers in Cap Haitien on October 19, 1954. He began to paint when he was twenty years old in the atelier of the grandmaster of the North, Philome Obin. Riché painted historic subjects for almost twenty years before turning to his presently preferred subject matter "Les Grosses Patates", referring to the big potatoes, or big people. He says that it cheers him to see people who are large, though he himself prefers to stay " thin and sexy". He claims also to have never in his life seen a painting by Botero, whom he is sometimes accused of imitating.
