Galerie Le Container

When you look at a Fred Alione painting, the first thing you notice is an interior scene in an apartment, a loft, a café, an artist's studio, with its sometimes designer, sometimes picturesque decor. Secondly, we notice the view, both charming and sensational, overlooking the rooftops of Paris, the bay of Miami, New York City...

Once the frame is in place, our eyes begin to focus on the details: works of art hanging on the wall or carelessly placed in a corner. But isn't this a masterpiece of Art History?

By recognizing a Gauguin, a Roy Lichtenstein or a Warhol, we have the impression of holding the key to reading Alione's work. All the details become winks, interlocking to tell us a story... or to let us imagine one. The painting becomes playful, and like a detective, our eyes are riveted to it to take our minds on a journey.
