About Alëxone:

Alëxone It is above all an easily recognizable style from the first glance. Games of colors, material, atypical characters, word games, gap ... The young thirties oscillates between urban poetry and shy majesty. His surrealist characters are staged in a colorful and crazy world where a sweet madness reigns. Horned penguins, fire spitters, and other barred eyes make up a wacky and chaotic bestiary. These animals are real graphic elements that mutate and whose meaning varies from one canvas to another.

If we examine the talent ofAlëxone Under the microscope, we will find in his works the influence of graffiti, pop culture, comics or even Byzantine art and illustration. Far from the indefinite tribute, Alëxone summons as much the icons of everyday life as the great paintings, all with a touch of humor and irony that we find in the title of his works. Humor is a way for the public to enter the table and it is a way for Alëxone to play with the spectator and thus create a proximity. This second rare and precious degree, allows Alëxone to maintain lightness in the most serious work.

The detailed universe Alëxone requires observing and examining your paintings to analyze them. However, there is no specific entry, everything is allowed, several readings are possible. In addition to playing with superposition, transparency and volumes Alëxone Had fun with the supports. He works as well with bourgeois fabric as with photographs ...

This mixture of genres is also found in its more original collaborations than each other. They are an integral part of his artistic work. Be where it does not expect ... Alëxone Surprise and innovates over his meetings. We can thus find it in the fashion world with printed t-shirts and children's slippers; or collaborating with Yomek For bronze sculptures. or with The star chef Christian Sinicropi, which offers the à la carte of its restaurant "La Palme d'Or", a langoustine dish served under a penguin bell in ceramic ...

To quote Oxmo Puccino, Alëxone is a "big of this world", a rare and precious character, and bet that his crazy universe will make more than a wise varnish crack.
