Biography
Born in 1992, graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in Paris in 2016, the visual artist Alexandre Lenoir works between Paris and Casablanca from his own photos. Equipped with an overhead projector, he projects them onto his canvas and paints over them with a singular approach. Each part of the image is thus masked by large strips of adhesive tape placed at random, then painted and repainted, taped again.
"As I work, the canvas thickens, gets darker and darker and heavier and heavier." It was then that Alexandre Lenoir decided to remove these superimpositions, leaving the operation to chance and the painting to decide: "Painting makes itself," he says.
