In Alexandra Duprez's drawings, paintings and collages, the human form is sensitively interpreted using a balance of abstraction and symbolic gesture. Shaped from her early encounters with Aboriginal art, Duprez silhouettes the human form and intermingles mystical elements of various orders: limbs, snakes, and waves of energy. These concurrences of iconography point us toward a spiritual energy entangled with the unconscious.
Since 1995, Alexandra has dedicated herself exclusively to drawing and painting from the top of her house where her studio lies, in Douarnenez, France. The artist is represented by Galerie DYS in Brussels, HAGD Contemporary in Denmark, and C.O.A. Galerie in Montreal. She has also collaborated with publishing houses including Esperluète in Belgium and Chose Commune in France.
