Alice SAUVAGE

Alice / ALSo introduction

A reborn passion

Originally from Toulouse, Alice Sauvage has always had a passion for mosaics. From the age of 20, she expressed her creativity by creating her own designs for furniture. However, her professional career took her to London, where she became marketing director for a pharmaceutical group.

A new lease of life

It was during her confinement in 2020 that the mosaic flame was rekindled within her. This period gave her the opportunity to reconnect with her passion and devote herself fully to it. Determined to explore this art, she joined the London School of Mosaic in September 2021.

Learning and growing

Under the guidance of Catherine Parkinson, a renowned mosaicist, Alice is refining her practice and discovering new techniques. In particular, she took part in the London Bridge Mosaic project, a monumental 57-metre wall created for Transport for London and Network Rail. This enriching experience enabled her to put her skills to work on a large-scale collective creation.

A new start in Lyon

In July 2023, Alice moved to Lyon and took up residence at the Alcôve gallery-workshop, located on the slopes of the Croix Rousse. In this inspiring new environment, she continues her artistic exploration and brings her own unique mosaics to life.

 

HER WORLD AND ARTISTIC REFERENCES

A mosaic artist who turns codes on their head

Far from bathrooms and kitchen credenzas, ALSo invites mosaics to take their place in a vibrant and daring universe. Inspired by modern art, street art and pop culture, she creates unique paintings that celebrate colour, materials and recycling.

POP MOSAIC: an explosive style

Like a kaleidoscope, ALSO’s “POP MOSAIC” style bursts with vitality. Inspired by artists such as Keith Haring, Basquiat, Kobra and Bordalo II, she weaves mosaics of collage, pattern, texture and vivid colour. Her raw material? Unearthed treasures: scraps of tiles, objects doomed to oblivion, natural finds… Each element tells a story and is integrated into the work to give it a unique soul.

A committed approach

Driven by an ecological conscience, ALSo gives a second life to materials destined for destruction. By exploring flea markets, unsold stocks and natural landscapes, she draws her inspiration and gives life to a sustainable and meaningful mosaic.

An art accessible to all

As well as technique and aesthetics, Alice Sauvage wants to share her passion and make mosaics accessible to everyone. She runs workshops, exhibits her work in a variety of venues and invites the public to discover the beauty and diversity of this ancient art.
