Alexandre Guillaume's artwork is about tension and relief.

In his work, Guillaume incorporates the speed, brutality and impatience we experience in daily life to create paintings that ultimately leave the viewer in peace.

Thick, carefully placed large brush stroke interrupts a solid ground to end in light, airy splashes of thin lines, alleviating an omnipresent tension.

His palette ranges from a monochromatic grey, to a swath of black paint on a bright orange, yellow, blue or red ground.
