After graduating from Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris with honors in 2016, Alexandre Lenoir moved to Casablanca in 2017 for a residency, where he practiced painting. Having encountered this medium before his studies at the Beaux-Arts, he worked on large-scale figurative works, which are systematically created in different territories, over a period that varies from a few days to seven months. Assuming the form of incarnation, everything becomes brushwork, and the presentation also has its significance. In 2016, he is awarded the Fondation Jean-François et Marie-Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre prize.
