Alice Grenier Nebout is a French-Canadian painter who lives and works in Paris.
She graduated from Central Saint Martins in London in Fine Arts in 2017. Through her paintings, frescoes and drawings, she reinterprets the sensations that nature gives us.
Attentive to the wild world, to silent forests, passionate about mythology and biodiversity, she takes us into a hypnotic, sensual and colourful vision of a paradise not quite lost.
Between figuration and concept, representation and allusion, classicism and transgression, Alice Grenier Nebout creates an imaginary world full of symbolism and illusion.
Her paintings oscillate between romantic pictorial conventions and abstract flat colours. On the canvas, the planes of paint overlap and harmonise.
In the subject matter, memory, dream and desire seek each other. While the figures appear light and transparent, the sharp and marked lines respond to a polyphony of blues, blacks or flaming reds and to atmospheres of plant embroidery. Her works teem with details and chords abolishing time and space and allowing multiple references to exist simultaneously.
Captured by the infinite aesthetic possibilities of the materiality of the body, the surface of Alice Grenier-Nebout's paintings is sensual and tactile. From the painted bodies emanate a vital force. In her canvases, the paint, combined with the accumulation of oil pastel, offers us exuberant velvet atmospheres.
In between Madonnas and Venuses, it is the woman and her erotic and welcoming embrace that the artist often celebrates in a suggestive and immediate dance.
And finally, in this dance, we find the allegory of human life, made of a continuous movement, always turned towards the union with the other.
