Alice in Wonderland
What if Wonderland wasn't quite as innocent as we remembered? In Alice in Wonderland, the beloved childhood character finds herself surrounded by a psychedelic explosion of colorful mushrooms, capsules, and playful contradictions. Bright colors and bold black outlines create a seemingly cheerful universe, while the presence of pills introduces a more provocative interpretation of the familiar fairy tale. Blending Pop Art, nostalgia, and dark humor, the painting reimagines Wonderland as a place where fantasy meets contemporary culture, and innocence takes an unexpected turn. Inspired by the work of contemporary Pop artist Greg Guillemin, the painting plays with the boundaries between childhood imagination and adult reality. Because sometimes, Wonderland comes with side effects.
Muriel Elmaleh
Muriel Elmaleh is a contemporary artist whose practice moves between expressive abstraction, Pop Art, and figurative painting. Working with acrylic on canvas, she explores emotion, movement, and identity through distinct visual languages. Her abstract works translate emotion into movement through layered marks, drips, and sweeping gestures, creating compositions driven by rhythm, tension, and physical energy. In her Pop Art paintings, she draws on familiar characters, popular culture, and contemporary imagery, combining bold colors, playful compositions, and dark humor to explore the contradictions of modern life. Beyond abstraction and Pop Art, some of Elmaleh's figurative works draw from personal memory and her childhood in Ivory Coast, exploring themes of motherhood, resilience, and cultural heritage. Self-taught and instinct-driven, Elmaleh approaches painting through both intuition and experimentation. Whether abstract or figurative, her work moves between spontaneity and control, with emotion remaining at the center of her artistic practice.
