About the artwork

This canvas features a series of blue strokes sliding vertically in clusters, forming the feathers of a pigeon. Exhibited in October 2020 at the PDP Gallery in Paris as part of the exhibition Un détail devenu sujet, this work highlights the often overlooked beauty of these urban birds through the meticulous detail of their feathers. Through these details, this series contributes to Adèle Renault's move towards abstract art. Attracted to depicting the neglected subjects of the street, she has gradually made pigeons and the homeless the theme of her work. As a street artist, these birds, which she had the opportunity to study closely while creating her urban graffiti, became a means of representing urban life on canvas and in galleries. Identifying herself as a "carrier pigeon", she fuses urban and abstract art in this canvas.

Expert opinion

Participating in the artist's transition to abstraction, this small canvas captures the full breadth of his work in urban space, using his characteristic pigeon feather details.

About the artist

Adèle Renault (born 1988 in Belgium) is a painter living and working across five continents. She studied graphic arts, painting, urban art, design, and new media before graduating from the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 2010. Her first solo exhibition was at White Walls in San Francisco, which initiated a series of exhibitions in galleries worldwide, including Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Miami, and Paris. As a street artist, her work extends to public spaces, with notable frescoes created at the BNP Paribas Real Estates headquarters in Paris in 2018, in the Lodi Art District in New Delhi in 2019, and more recently in Ghent, Belgium, in 2022.

“If you look closely, you'll notice that the pigeons come in a variety of colors. [...] I'd been dreaming of doing abstract art for a long time, but I didn't know how to go about it.”
