LÉOPOLDINE ROUX
Born in the south of France, Léopoldine Roux has lived and worked in Brussels for around twenty years. A painter and educator, she has devoted nearly twenty-five years to an artistic practice entirely focused on colour and its many possibilities of expression. Her frequent travels in search of vibrant natural landscapes inform a practice deeply inspired by nature, its contrasts, its joys and its melancholies.
At the heart of her artistic approach, colour becomes a language in its own right. Through a primarily gestural practice, Léopoldine Roux explores the possibilities offered by a wide variety of mediums and techniques. From oil paint and gouache to lacquer, nail polish and even more unexpected elements such as chewing gum, she pursues a continuous exploration of colour. Her work reflects a fascination with the richness of the chromatic spectrum and the countless forms of expression it offers.
A graduate of the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Rennes in 2002 and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Brussels in 2003, Léopoldine Roux currently teaches multidisciplinary art at the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Gilles in Brussels. She is also a member of the Alumni College of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Belgium.
