Alexandre Kazar

Alexandre Kazar, settled in Rouen and recently returned from London, made a wish for simplicity. In order to represent scenes that seem to have reached their peak of intensity, he plays with the contrast provided by the use of black and white, and sometimes a touch of red disturbs the composition by adding a note of violence to the composition. 'artwork. After making his debut with stencils, he developed his own and unique "surgeon's technique", by cutting adhesive tapes directly on canvas with a scalpel, a technique which allows him rare precision. The contrast of colors and light brought to the composition by this technique allows the viewer to benefit from a modular optical effect. Indeed, the more the spectator is in front of the work but also the further he moves away from it, the more the composition will appear clear and detailed, as if Kazar wanted to accentuate the distance between the historical scenes that he represents through his works. and the ordinary spectators that we are. His recent "surgical" works offer a reinterpretation of classic works: from Renaissance paintings to modern photographs. After participating in the Tour Paris 13 project in 2013, for which he painted an open-air fresco, Alexandre exhibited his works in Paris and London and it is with undisguised pleasure that he joins the artists today.
