Elongated Figures and Emotions: Sacha Grandemange's Artistic Journey

The Captivating World of Sacha Grandemange: Obsessive Paintings Unveiled through Time and Patience

Sacha Grandemange tells us about his work: 

I’m a painter and I think in colors, how I depict an emotion is the question that I’m asking myself everyday.

The paintings that I make obsess me, they reveal themselves to me through time and they require patience.

My practice allows me to ask questions and depict some feelings that are buried inside myself, they are creating a space between my inner world and an audience. I

’m concerned about the situation of the world and how to deal with modern existence.

At the moment I’m focused on painting elongated figures that are human like, they evolve in surroundings that are sometimes landscapes similar to untouched nature and sometimes city like.

The figures are very dynamic and represent a constant movement they are interacting with the surrounding and each other, they represent personal experiences and questions that are active in my mind at the moment where I’m painting.

Sometimes i see myself in the figures and they make me realize how I’m acting as a human, i hope they do it to the audience as well.
