One must realize that Pierre Argo is the painter of today and tomorrow. For if one must look to see, it is by seeing that one sees.

René NOYAU 1974

The exhibition as a whole is of undeniable quality and confirms what we generally know: of the painters of the younger generation, Pierre Argo is one of those whose talent has the most consistency and the most solidity.

André DECOTTER 1975

Each of Pierre's works is a fight. A fight against himself. I won't say that he is always victorious, but there are enough victories for me to dare to say that his exhibition will remain an unforgettable memory, a highlight of the Mauritian artistic life.

Yvan MARTIAL 1980

The fact remains that Pierre Argo's vision, when it is at its highest point, transcends borders, which is what gives the artist an international dimension

Jean Claude D’AVOINE 1980

The exhibition as a whole is of undeniable quality and confirms what we generally know: of the painters of the younger generation, Pierre Argo is one of those whose talent has the most consistency and the most solidity.

Lucien MASSON 1981

Pierre Argo talks with colors and forms more than he fixes them in the simple convention of a painting. He seems, each time, at the crossroads of the streets and paths of his native island, but also at some crossroads of the many countries he has crossed, to engage in conversation with the other. With me. With you. Very rarely with himself. The dialogue is established in volutes and lines, in a choreography of tones and tonalities. The whole on a fortunately undefined bottom, not to dam up the universal.

Edouard MAUNICK 1993

How not to vibrate to the sounds of the jubilant lexical gestures of Pierre Argo? A tactile enjoyment woven of materials, colors, signs has the appearance of symbols. Testimonies of a fidelity to his Ilian land, invitations to the journey of a man who has tasted all the lands. Writing of a deeply human soul.

Express 1999

Argo takes us into this imagined and dreamed space-time.
