Adele Renault looks when most people tend to ignore. Like an urban ornithologist she scans the streets of the world. And what she brings back are portraits of pigeons. The scruffy birds that no one pays attention to. Adele captures them. Not in cages but in paintings. These portraits are both detailed like a Charles Darwin illustration and expressive like a Marlene Dumas painting.
For art is just a four letter word she presents a huge series of oil paintings in various sizes. Most of them will be on display for the first time. And by the way, pigeon voyageur is a French term for someone who travels a lot.
Enjoy a different type of street art!
