"The
works of Pierre CHERBIT, this great master of French contemporary
painting, take us wonderfully into another dimension of life ".
Sachiko YAMAMURA

"The
flames of the face, the praise of the woman, the n-dimensions
color - this is the glitter of the universe which tears
Pierre Cherbit's painting"
Jean-Pierre FAYE
Philosopher and writer
Professor of philosophy at Sorbonne University
Research officer at CNRS (Philosophy)
President of the European University
for research
(Paris, France)
"The plentiful
works of Pierre Cherbit display the sacred forces
of the universe as much as his love of life.
I am fascinated by the spiritual power of his
portraits which transfigure the human condition into
the nobility of the sacred.
I am very moved also by the translucency
which draws near the smoothness of fruits that he glorifies
like embodiments of nature.
I furthermore notice that his vision of cracklings and
the glare of the fire in one of his paintings
(Feu) overwhelms that of Turner: a fire appears to me as
destructive with Turner wherease with Cherbit it symbolizes
for me the eternal joy of living.
At last, vibrations and blazings of his divinatory colors
(Prussian blue, eastern red, fruty yellow, holy purple...)
are a delight for the soul."

art theorist(Antony, France).

"The works
of Pierre CHERBIT root us into reality and brings one to what is the
most human inside us."

In
a letter dated 26th of November 2001, Mr President of France Jacques Chirac,
put the stress on the strength and the originality of the works
of Pierre Cherbit".
In
a new message dated 18th September 2003, President
Chirac renewed the expression of his interest
for the process of creation of Pierre Cherbit which gives: "an unrivalled
expression strength to the color".
In his letter of 11th of december
2003 Mr Christophe Girard, deputy mayor of Paris in charge
of culture had sent his congratulations to Mr Pierre Cherbit
for his silver medal awarded by 'Société d'encouragement
au Progrès' and paid hommage to his great artistic talent.".
"With
Picasso, Miró, Dali, Chagall, color is used
as a material ornemental medium, whereas
with Cherbit it is expressed as life itself
. That is why Cherbit always revolts against
everything that is ordinary and artificial in so-called
"art" which has been offending the horizons of the world
for almost a century, thus creating the complete confusion between art in
true meaning, caracterized by its sacred and unfailing verb : to give,
and the handycraft of which pertains the verb to make that
can be used by everyone ...
One day, Cherbit did confess to me with assurance : "The life
of art goes through the harmonious life of colors and words !"
