Adele Renault Explained

Adele Renault
Nationality:Belgian
Education:Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts
Known For:Visual Art, Murals

Adele Renault[1] was born in Liège, Belgium. She is a visual artist and muralist, known for her hyper- and photo-realistic paintings from smaller works on canvas and large-scale public pieces. Renault’s work is a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques. With her skills she captures the characteristic beauty of everyday life with precise and detailed craftsmanship.[2] [3]

Career

Renault was raised in the Belgian Ardennes and grew up in a musical and creative family. She is the daughter of composer and pianist Jean-Christophe Renault and composer and guitarist Véronique Gillet. Her sister is the singer and pianist Mathilde Renault.

Adele Renault lived and studied in different countries. Following her instinct and desire to paint she studied visual arts from classical oil painting to modern spray can graffiti, while experimenting with new media and graphic design. Renault graduated in 2010 from the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.

The diversity of humanity, avifauna and flora in American cities became the fertile ground for her pictorial aspirations. Her interest in people, plants and pigeons stems from the commonality that no matter the city, each can be found in abundance.

Through her series, Gutter Paradise, started in 2016, Adele has pushed her practice towards a meticulous study of a detail that has in itself become the subject of her work. She forcefully alters an element that might seem banal to make it the main focus of her research.[4] [5] [1] [6]
