Works by Alexandre Balan
It is after a career in decoration for musical events, graffiti or
the creation of logos and drawings that I begin my activity as a painter. Installed
since 2012 in the redonnaise region I am gradually transforming my workshop
carpenter in the field of pictorial expression.
Abstract and psychedelic style, my universe is impregnated with graffiti by its side
punchy, modern and colorful, but also glitch aesthetics with its optical effects
vibrations and intuitive writing. Whether on canvas, wood or street furniture, I
reuses graffiti tools (spray paint, stencils, projections and tag) and diversifies
my materials (acrylic paint and markers) to create my abstract universe sometimes
poetic always colorful.
From my first series I try to create effects of reliefs and depths in
using geometric shapes with colorful and contrasting tones with my stencils.
Then gradually the paint becomes drips, splashes, smears and stains, the
more intuitive gesture creates expressionist compositions that welcome a writing
stylized impulsive using the tag codes. The repetitions and superpositions of
paintings fill the frame and create vibrating optical effects, a painting
explosive, an often raw and visually catchy rendering in order to offer an art
immersive, a sensory journey.
