Artist Statement:
Pierre Davis-Dutreix is an
American painter living in
Nice, France. He is one of

started in the early 1980's in
Paris and whose awkward name
is a mix of two words: squat
and art.
The squart movement is
virtually unknown in the
States because it has been
branded a revolutionary
movement by conservatives
since it treads on private
property. Most of the artists
have been ostracized by
gallery owners for the same
reasons thus creating an
alternative network. The
necessity for studio space for
artists (painters, dancers,
actors etc.) is fundamental
and the incredibly high prices
for such accommodations make
it inaccessible for the
average artist. Therefore they
invest empty buildings, ready
to be torn down or sold, and
give them a second life by
turning them into studios.
Squarts represent a haven of
liberty and a symbol of
freedom. They form a
battlefield where the last
values are fought for, in a
society where everything is
conductive for the extinction
of independent creativity.
In many European countries
like Germany, Holland and
Switzerland, artistic squats
have been legalized since the
1990's and Davis-...

Artist Reviews:
There is nothing easy about a
painting by Davis-Dutreix. The
meanings are endless and
profound. Full of ambiguities,
resplendent with references to
other visual traditions and
literature, the mature work is
an invitation to the viewer to
partake in a complex and
difficult confrontation with a
unique version of ...
