Steeve Grangier - Les Ames perdues

Stève Grangier is a Swiss artist whose pictorial work is part of a contemporary neo-expressionist approach, centered on the body, matter, and memory. His painting explores zones of tension between flesh and shadow, appearance and disappearance, through a dense and committed material.

Alongside his work as a painter, he develops a body of writing—essays and narrative texts—that directly nourishes his visual practice. This dual approach endows his paintings with a strong conceptual dimension, where each work is part of a coherent whole rather than an isolated object.

His recent works, notably the triptych Noctis Corpus (steevegrangier.ch), question the place of humans in the darkness of the contemporary world, by confronting the permanence of matter with the ephemerality of human constructions. His work does not seek decorative effect, but a presence, a resistance, a trace.
