Steeve Grangier is a Swiss self-taught contemporary artist whose work explores the tension between body, matter, and organic transformation. His practice integrates uprooted vine wood into oil-painted surfaces, creating hybrid works that exist between painting and sculpture. By embedding natural vine forms into textured panels, Grangier transforms raw organic material into expressive presences that evoke movement, resistance, and inner force. His work investigates the body not as a literal representation, but as a site of tension, weight, and emergence. Through layered material, dense gestures, and earthy palettes, he constructs compositions where matter itself becomes language. Based in Switzerland, Grangier develops series that push painting beyond the flat surface, merging physical relief and pictorial space to explore vulnerability, strength, and elemental energy.
