Poetry on the skin, Alexandre Imbert expresses his emotions through words, colors, and sounds. We met this artist, as discreet as he is enigmatic, during his latest exhibition, “the aerial space between your heart and mine is blue.”
“They often say you must look ahead to move forward, but for me, it’s drawing from my memories and stories that helps me stay alive,” says Alexandre Imbert, a polymorphic artist whose understated yet magnetic presence recalls both Jean-Louis Murat and Kurt Cobain. Reflecting on his journey, he takes us back to his first artistic experiences and his career as a creative in various advertising agencies and as an independent artist—all while art remained his constant backdrop.
His creative journey spans multiple disciplines: sculpture, theater, and music. Notably, he ran a theater space for six years on Rue d’Italie called Le Métronome with Céline Guepratte. Music (both piano and guitar) has also played a vital role in his life, with three albums to his name. Lately, however, Imbert has focused on blending painting and poetry, exploring his emotions through brushstrokes rather than sound.
His work merges imagery of coastal landscapes and the Loire River, painting the sky, sea, rivers, and reflections with a deeper emotional intention. His words emphasize this philosophy: “I tell a story to touch the heart and give it a color… perhaps blue.”
This exploration reveals how his artistic path is both personal and meditative, focusing less on mere scenery and more on emotional resonance and narrative depth.
