Alexandre Kasproviez

Born in 1995, Alexandre Kasproviez grew up on the French island of Réunion, in the Indian Ocean, in a richly multicultural environment.
This upbringing, rooted in multiple origins and marked by frequent movement, deeply infuses his work.

He took his first artistic steps under the guidance of American artist Ross Bleckner, who introduced him to oil painting-a medium that would become central to his practice. Known for his large-scale landscapes and blurred portraits, Kasproviez's immediately recognizable style blends a fluid palette with compositions in which forms seem to emerge and then vanish.

Light plays a fundamental role in his compositions-veiled, diffuse, almost liquid-sliding across the canvas like an elusive reflection. Using a reductive technique, Kasproviez begins by applying thick, heavy layers of oil paint across the entire surface, then carefully wipes them away, moving from one small area to the next.
This creative process introduces a distance between the viewer and the subject, suggesting both vulnerability and proximity, while preserving a certain protection of the represented figure.
Kasproviez does not seek to capture a frozen moment. Rather, he reveals its echoes - inviting the viewer to contemplate what escapes, what lingers, and what remains unsaid.
