Alexandre Charriol was born in Hawaii. He studied alternately at the Parson School of Design (2001-2003), Tufts University (1999-2001), the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Northeastern University (1998-1999), before creating his own studio in New York. Since 1999, he has participated in many national and international exhibitions, including the Yoshii Gallery in Paris, the Ayala Museum in Manila and the Kee Club and Art Statements Gallery in Hong Kong. His paintings are stories, bright colors with flattened perspectives, created in acrylic and pastel painting, mixing patterns both familiar and strange. His inspiration comes from everyday events, his travels and experiences filtered by his own subconsciousness. He is also very inspired by movies and storyboards.
