COUPLES
\nAlexis “Bust” Stephens<\/h3>\n

Alexis \u2018Bust\u2019 Stephens inspires. The energy captured in his works is palpable for every viewer. With his dynamic, performative painting technique, he captures the moment, the power of the moment. His theme is dance.
\nAlexis Bust Stephens performed as a dancer in hip-hop and breakdance formations on international stages at an early age. At the same time, he found his way into the Parisian urban art scene as a painter. Today, these two forms of expression – dance and painting – merge in a unique way in his artistic work. <\/h4>\n

\"Alexis<\/p>\n

Sometimes you dance alone. But often in pairs. A dialogue through joint movement. Leading and being led. Dominating and surrendering. An exchange of emotion and tension. In Alexis’ new exhibition at the Pretty Portal gallery, he mainly shows couples in dance. <\/p>\n

His paintings mostly show dynamic, floating or rotating bodies, captured in a style inspired by the energy of Abstract Expressionism. In his work, movement, rhythm and physical expression become a gestural, pulsating visual language – full of intensity and life. <\/p>\n

\"Alexis<\/p>\n

Alexis’ works are currently being shown in a large solo presentation in the art museum of the city of Bietigheim Bissingen,<\/a> recently in Espace Saint-Pierre des Minimes<\/a>, a church converted into a museum in Compiegne (France), and are hanging in the Olympia Museum in Lausanne.<\/p>\n
