About the Artwork

This work, "Memories of Alice," showcases the fantastical color expression that Jean-Michel Folon was known for. While the title evokes the dreamlike world of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Folon does not directly depict the story, but rather expresses fragments of its memories and sensory echoes in an abstract and poetic manner.

In this piece, Folon does not merely juxtapose colors, but overlaps them so they melt into each other and respond in harmony. The delicate undulation of colors brings a sense of buoyancy to the entire image, creating a space where the boundaries between reality and dream become blurred.

The quiet rhythm woven by the overlapping soft tones invites the viewer into an internal world of imagination, evoking a sense of both nostalgia and elusiveness. Condensed with Folon's unique sense of color and poetic sentiment, this work is an enchanting piece that quietly speaks to each viewer's memories and imagination.
