About Alexandre Renoir:
Alexandre Renoir was born in Cagnes Sur Mer, in the south of France, where his great-grandfather spent the last twelve years of his life. The family moved to Canada when Alexandre was young, and there he grew up surrounded by art and artists. While the Renoir family includes many cinematic greats (Jean Renoir, a notable film director; Pierre Renoir, a renowned actor; Claude Renoir Jr., a pre-eminent director of photography and his daughter Sophie, a talented actress), Alexandre is the first descendant to pursue the fine arts.
“Art is a journey, with no final destination, and this is a wonderful stop on my travels,” said Alexandre Renoir. “It’s an honor to display my drawings, etchings and paintings along with the work of my great-grandfather and his contemporaries.”
