About the Artwork

This work, "Memories of Alice," stands out for Jean-Michel Folon's signature fantastical use of color. While the title evokes the dreamlike world of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Folon doesn't directly depict the story, but rather expresses fragments of its memories and sensory impressions in an abstract and poetic way.

In this piece, Folon doesn't simply place colors side by side; he layers them so they blend and respond to each other. The delicate undulation of colors brings a sense of buoyancy to the entire canvas, creating a space where the boundaries between reality and dreams become ambiguous.

The quiet rhythm woven by the overlapping soft tones invites viewers into an inner world of imagination, evoking a sense of nostalgia that is both familiar and elusive. This work, a distillation of Folon's unique sense of color and poetic sensibility, is a captivating piece that quietly speaks to each viewer's memories and imagination.
