About this artwork
Janus explores the duality of human beings, this permanent coexistence between two opposing faces.
One expresses tension, harshness, almost inner violence; the other suggests a softer, ambiguous facade, close to a mask.
Through raw materials and an instinctive gesture, the work highlights this tension between who we are and what we show to the world.
Janus thus becomes the symbol of a fragmented identity, oscillating between truth and illusion.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Steeve Grangier is a self-taught Swiss painter and sculptor who has been painting outside of academic circles since 1983. His practice explores oil painting, impasto applied with a palette knife, and the integration of raw organic elements—such as the vine roots incorporated into the Noctis Corpus series.
His technique is characterized by a raw and figurative neo-expressionism, where the expressive distortion of the body and face, as well as spontaneous gestures, convey the instability of being. He seeks to capture the energy and constant mutation of identity, transmitting an intense inner tension through each canvas.
