Alexandre Moliéra

Alexandre Moliéra delved into the theoretical dimension of the theme "From the cinema of the lights of the city." He first turned to theorists, notably Paul Virilio, who stated: "The city was no longer an agora, a living theater, but had become the cinema of the lights of the city." Virilio also explains how artificial lights have profoundly transformed our environment, thus raising the question: "What is reality?"

The artist also became interested in poets, writers, and other artists. In his research, he evokes:

"In the carousels of the City that smile at me…
When the lights cluster together…
I lose myself in the painted streets…"

Another favored theme for Alexandre Moliéra is that of the interiors of the Second Empire, in red and gold, focused on ornamentation, from a very postmodern perspective. Politics, history, motifs, ornamentation, memory… so many notions that he explores to enrich his work.
