About the artist

Adele Renault

Adele Renault is an artist with a deft touch for that which most might find commonplace. From pigeons to people, she focuses her artistry on realistic depictions of ordinary city residents, on canvas as well as massive murals. Her interest in people and pigeons stems from the commonality that no matter the city, each can be found in abundance. With meticulous care and attention to detail, she renders an old woman’s face and a pigeon’s with the same precision. The ever-changing colors of the pigeon’s feathers are just as significant as the wrinkles in an old woman’s face. Renault was raised on a farm in the Belgian Ardennes where her musical family encouraged her to travel and experience the world on her own. She graduated in 2010 from the Academie Royale des Beaux Arts in Brussels, lived and worked in Amsterdam until 2017 and is now based in Los Angeles.
