Article : l'Echo le Régional Vendredi 12 août 2011 par Robert Démard
Aventure Land et la commune de Saint-Clair-sur-Epte participaient aussi à cette manifestation d'envergure, animé par le peintre Pierre Marcel (Applestrophe) et son atelier du Pommier. Il a été aidé dans ce travail par Romain et de nombreux bénévoles, les agriculteurs, bref tout le monde a mis la main... à la paille !
Les jeunes de Montreuil sur Epte expérimentent un perfectionnement graphique pour les balles de pailles habillées des couleurs du logo de la Caisse locale du Crédit Agricole, notre sponsor culturel principal (avec Aventureland et la mairie de Saint Clair sur Epte)
sont article, Vexin Saint-Clair-sur-Epte :
LE VEXIN aux couleurs vikings
Manifestation contemporaine : des ballots de paille ont été habillés de tissus rayés. Une idée originale et éphémère pour un retour dans le passé lointain.
Dans le cadre de la célébration du mille centième anniversaire du traité de paix entre les Vikings et les Francs et en cette période de moissons, les champs ont été mis en couleurs des explorateurs nordiques et de la Caisse régionale de crédit agricole de Magny-en-Vexin.
C'est ainsi que troismille mètres de tissus ont habillé les gros ballots de paille, le long de la D14, entre Buhy et les Thilliers-en-Vexin, réunissant ainsi l'Ïle-de-France et la Normandie. La caisse

régionale du Crédit agricole a sponsorisé cette action d'art contemporain mettant en valeur notre monde agricole vexinois.
La famille Boyer et leurs amis de Montreuil sur Epte ont participés souvent, au pied levé et avec énergie à monter les tissus, enveloper les balles de paille, les rouler, les maintenir. Bonne humeur, Montreuil sur Epte est un village dynamique !

Applestrophe

France

Pierre Marcel SCHMIDT, also known as Applestrophe, is an international painter specializing in ecological art. Born 35 years ago, he became an “ambassador of France” through his works focused on love and apples. His artistic journey took him to Miami Beach, Florida, where he left his mark in the heart of the historic Art-Deco district.

During his career, Pierre Marcel Schmidt has maintained a close link with three French regions, where he creates daily: Île de France, Normandy and Picardy. In addition, he devoted each summer to the study of the South of France, in particular Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer.

His professional career is rich in notable achievements. In the 1970s and 1980s, he began his career as a screen printer, then became a decorator, running a business with up to ten employees. His work consisted of beautifying Parisian restaurants and cinemas while promoting environmental protection.

From 1986 to 2005, Pierre Marcel Schmidt became an international decorator under the name Pierre Marcel, working in the United States, in Miami, Florida, with the company "Subject to Change". He contributed to the preservation and renovation of the Art-Deco area of Miami Beach, decorating stores, private and public spaces, as well as commissioned municipal murals. For seven years, from 1991 to 1998, he traveled to Moscow as an official American expert to create the scenery for the first tourist attractions and the new Moscow City Hall, while helping to train Russian students in trades of official decorators.

In 2001, Pierre Marcel Schmidt returned to France, this time as an ecological painter. He lives in Guerny, in Eure, where he works publicly to promote the Vexin Français Regional Natural Park. Since 2003, he has created daily artistic works in public art at the Salle du Prieuré in Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, a village linked to the history of the creation of Normandy during the peace treaty of 911 with the Vikings.

From 2013 to 2016, he also directed a workshop-gallery located in La Roche Guyon. Throughout his career, Pierre Marcel Schmidt, aka Applestrophe, has used art as a means of raising awareness of ecology and promoting French history and culture.
