Alice Janne
°1985 (B), lives and works in Brussels
The emergent practice of Alice Janne (1985) encompasses minimal sculptures, works on paper, and virtual 3D-animations. Her work is often described as ‘scientifc pop art’ or ‘an archaeology of the present’. At its base are the collecting and archiving of miniscule 'objets-trouvés' and little bits of paper she fnds in the street. The found items are categorized in a database according to form, colour, and time, devoid of any possible narrative context. Starting from their pared-down essence in form, Janne enlarges the small objects into sculptures and acrylic on paper. She works in pigmented plaster, concrete and other materials. In the exhibition space, the sculptures and paintings on paper are distributed anew, as colourful installations.
Alice Janne graduated in 2012 from ERG art school (Brussels, BE) and holds a master’s degree in visual arts. In 2012 she received the Audience Award at the “Concours Médiatine Art Libre”. In 2014 she was selected for the “Prix de la Jeune sculpture” of the Federation Wallonia-Brussels. Her work figures in the renowned art collection of Alain Servais. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and abroad, among others, at Supermarket/Stockholm” Independent Art Fair (SE, 2013), Centrale/lab, Brussels (B,2016), Urban Art Contest, Brussels (B, 2021), Le Delta, Namur (B, 2022), Centre Wallonie Bruxelles, Paris (FR,2022), Art Rotterdam 2023.
