About this artwork
Wagner is part of the series "The Musicians," a set of six canvases dedicated to great composers—Mozart (two portraits), Bach, Brahms, Wagner, and Chopin—treated as expressionist portraits. The six works share the same background, the same palette, like a common sorrow that runs through the entire series, while each face is constructed to convey the unique character of the man behind the music.
Wagner appears theatrical and imperious, wearing a… large beret whose thick, heavy shape dominates the canvas. His gaze, set at an angle, almost haughty, immediately captures the viewer's attention, drawn by the contrast between the blue-grey of his eyes and the ochre yellow of his face. The broad, sculptural gesture in the headdress narrows into fine, nervous strokes to depict the wrinkles and tension of his face—a way of conveying, through the very medium of the painting, the character's outsized ego and dramatic power.
This painting is part of an ongoing series dedicated to Mozart, Ba

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).
