About this artwork
Through The Idol, I wanted to explore the transformation of a public figure into an almost ghostly presence. The face seems to emerge and then dissolve into matter, as if consumed by its own image and by the collective gaze. Between light and erasure, the icon becomes a human trace.
This oil painting was created using an instinctive, neo-expressionist approach, where the material plays an essential role. Successive layers, impasto, scratches, and… reworkings were applied gradually to create a tension between embodiment and decomposition.
My work is part of a neo-expressionist exploration where the portrait becomes a trace of time.

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.
Member represented by the Circle Foundation for the Arts, which awarded him the Creative Excellence Prize (2026) for The Bottle Man. Candidate for the Arte Laguna Prize 2026 (Arsenale Nord, Venice).
