Pierre-Emmanuel Lyet is a graduate from L’Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris and currently works between illustration, animation and artistic direction. Some of his short films such as Parade (2009), La Nuite américaine d’Angélique (2013) and a typographic adaptation of Pierre et le loup (2014) have received multiple awards. In 2018 he co-directed artist RONE’s music video Origami with the Klub Simon collective.

As an illustrator, he contributed to the collections The Parisianer (10/18, 2014) and The Parisianer – City 2050 (10/18, 2016). His first exhibition Let Go (2017) compiled a selection of spontaneous drawings made in New York’s streets which encouraged him to further develop his instinctive and swift technique, paired with rich colours. With Temps Retrouvés (SLOW Galerie – 2018), he explored more personal themes, navigating between summer-induced fantasies and a nostalgia for lost times.
