Anne-Lise Coste’s paintings and drawings have the immediacy of graffiti. Having made spray painting her favourite tool, spontaneity and speed of gesture are at the heart of her practice. Influenced by the Dada movement and its art of revolt, her work combines personal emotions and public criticism of society. Her highly varied work conveys a subjective perception of the world, open to the collective, which materialises the contemporary anxieties of our daily lives.

Born in 1973 in Marseille, Anne-Lise Coste was trained at the École des Beaux-arts de Marseille and at the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst in Zurich. Her work has been exhibited worldwide, notably in France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. Anne-Lise Coste lives and works in Orthoux in Southern France
