Pierre le Riche, My Body Is Not Your Temple: Solo Exhibition
 PIERRE LE RICHE
SOLO EXHIBITION - MY BODY IS NOT YOUR TEMPLE

 


 

Exhibition dates:

• September 12 - October 30, 2025

 


 

Pierre le Riche (b. 1986, Gqeberha, South Africa) is a multidisciplinary artist working across modes of sculpture and installation, widely recognized for his use of textiles and thread. Identity is woven into and essential to his practice; much of his work has been aimed at confronting themes of colonialism and race, as well as challenging norms and associations around gender and sexuality. For his recent body of fiber-based work, le Riche creates vibrant and provocative figurative tapestries that center his queer identity while reflecting on the complexities of belonging in a contemporary world.
 
Le Riche holds a Master of Fine Arts with distinction from the University of Cape Town and has since worked as a full-time artist, curator, and potter. He has exhibited in solo and group shows across South Africa and abroad, participated in international art fairs, including 1-54 in London and AKAA in Paris, and created installations for global brands such as Daimler and Cartier. His large-scale thread installation Rainbow Rooms has been part of traveling exhibitions in the USA and China since 2018.
