Axel Sanson

Axel Sanson has established himself as a notable figure in contemporary art, primarily known for his paintings. Sanson's works, often large in size, are conceived as variations on a theme, showcasing his skill in storytelling through visual art.

His paintings are typically sourced from photographs or cinema stills, which he masterfully reinterprets, creating a blend of space and temporality that is both fluctuating and sometimes contradictory. This approach imbues his paintings with a poetic quality, derived from these stark contrasts.

Axel Sanson's work reflects a deep interest in historical subjects. He collaborated with art historian Jerôme Delaplanche on the book "Peindre la guerre" (Painting the War), highlighting his passion for history and its influence on his art. His paintings have paid tribute to iconic actresses like Bulle Ogier, Silvana Mangano, and Dorothy Stratten, among others.

In 2018, Axel Sanson was selected for an art project where he painted two in-situ frescoes in the car park of the Royal Hamilius in Luxembourg city, a building designed by the renowned architect Sir Norman Foster. This project, alongside other notable artists, showcased his versatility and ability to engage with public art spaces.

Axel Sanson has been featured in several solo and group exhibitions, including shows in Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Paris, Strasbourg, and Munich. His exhibitions often present a narrative journey, inviting the viewer to delve into his imaginative re-creations of historical and cinematic scenes.
