PIGEON FEATHERS
by Adele Renault
Adele Renault grew up in a musical family on a farm in the Belgian Ardennes. Traveling independently from age 14 she spent time in Venezuela and in Brighton, England before receiving a degree in graphic design in Brussels. Renault has studied and practiced a range of art styles and mediums, from classical oil painting to aerosol graffiti and now travels, paints, and runs Amsterdam’s @UnrulyGallery with partner Niels Shoe Meulman. While Renault frequently paints portraits of people, often the elderly or homeless, it’s her paintings of pigeons that she is increasingly recognized for. In November, 2017 she spent more than a week painting these pigeon feathers at Ocean and E Forsyth Streets for Art RePublic in Jacksonville, Florida. @adelerenault @artrepublicglobal
