Centaure géante avec arc (2023) Sculpture by Vanessa Renoux

Vanessa Renoux is a contemporary French artist. She seeks purity and perfect lines in its imperfections. Vanessa Renoux wants to provoke a feeling of harmony and serenity in the viewer. She sees her sculptures as objects of contemplation. The lines are soft and voluptuous, the couples are fusional and loving. She explores the attitudes of dance and movement. The animal sculptures are feline, refined and stylized.

Vanessa Renoux creates mixed media sculptures, combining steel rods and composite materials. The textured surface, painted and patinated for a long time, takes on the appearance of bronze.

The artist invites you to travel in a poetic and aerial universe, where line and movement are masters of space. Her sculptures, of great finesse and rare elegance, explore the notions of fragility and transformation, inviting the public to find their own balance, soothed and serene. Vanessa Renoux's sculptures also trigger joy, the simple happiness of childhood in front of swings and moving sculptures. Just like the animals represented which are both sensual and mischievous. Her studies in Greece and her visit to the Chauvet Cave are triggering and inspiring elements.

A trip to New York gave her the desire to paint the city in watercolor. She likes to superimpose layers of paint, washes, to give relief and depth, mix colors, create blurs, reflect cloudy atmospheres... Vanessa Renoux also paints the landscapes that surround her (Annecy, its lake, the countryside) and the cities she visits. Recently, her work inspired by Japanese Prints has been very successful.

Vanessa Renoux was born in 1973, in Drôme, France.
