Expand your fine art collection with this original oil painting by Michel Pellus.
About the Artist
With an artistic career spanning more than 40 years, Michel Pellus has a long-established reputation as a realist painter and printmaker. Working almost exclusively in oils, Pellus creates larger-than-life images of contemporary urban culture and fashionable women, with virtuosic technique and a highly modern photographic look.
Born in Montreal in 1945, Pellus descends from a long line of artists originating in Reims, France. His grandfather restored France’s stained glass after the First World War; both his mother and father studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal before lifelong careers teaching and making art. Pellus is self taught as an artist. In the late 1970s, he lived in New York City’s SoHo before moving to remote Elizabeth Island in the Bahamas. In the late 1980s, he settled in South Florida where he worked and exhibited his work in private galleries until 2018. Michel Pellus’ paintings have been exhibited widely and can be found in many private and public collections, including the Musée d’art Contemporain de Montréal and the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec. His work has been featured in several distinguished design and architectural publications, including Architectural Digest, Florida Design Magazine, and Florida Decor Magazine, where his work has been recognized for its sophistication, visual depth, and enduring appeal within beautifully curated interior spaces.
