A French contemporary voice at ONE ART Taipei 2026, and her hopes for Asia's young art scene

[Taipei] On the DE Global Art Agency podcast The Great Artist (EP29), we sincerely welcome French artist Karinne Grimaud, honorary board member of the French art association ALEA. In this episode, she leads listeners into her world of light and shadow, sharing the elegance and tension of French contemporary art, as well as her vision for advancing the deep connection between French and Asian art.

As a new member of the ALEA association, Karinne Grimaud fully displayed, on the stage of ONE ART Taipei 2026, the elegance and tension of French contemporary art. Her work has never been a mere accumulation of color, but a profound gaze upon nature and emotion. In her works, every touch of color and every stroke carries philosophical reflection and delicate feeling, inviting the viewer into a visual world at once sensuous and richly profound.

In her presentation at ONE ART Taipei 2026, Karinne Grimaud's work struck a powerful chord with Taiwanese collectors. Her works, which fuse French elegance with philosophical depth, crossed the barriers of language and culture to touch the hearts of Asian audiences. This cross-cultural resonance not only attests to the universal appeal of her work, but also bears witness to the power of art as a common language.

In this interview, DE Global Art Agency explored not only Karinne's striking performance at the fair, but also delved into how, since joining ALEA, she has devoted herself to advancing the deep connection between French and Asian art. As an honorary board member of ALEA, she holds sincere hopes for Asia's young art scene, wishing through the association's platform to build a bridge for French-Asian artistic exchange, so that more outstanding Asian creators may connect with the international art world.

"Art is a gaze that pierces the canvas, perceiving heritage, purity, and an international vision." Through this interview, Karinne Grimaud leads us to pierce the surface of the canvas and perceive those truths of art concerning heritage, purity, and an international vision. Her creative philosophy transcends mere formal aesthetics to touch art's most essential spiritual substance — reverence for nature, sincerity of feeling, and openness to international dialogue.

As an international association bearing the endorsement of the French authorities and belonging to the Asia-Europe academic alliance, ALEA joins hands with DE Global Art Agency, taking academic legitimacy as its foundation to build for Asian artists a bridge of international career leading to Europe, allowing local creation to connect with global vision and resources. Karinne Grimaud's participation infuses this vision of French-Asian connection with an elegant and solid strength.

The Great Artist EP29 is now available on Apple Podcasts, SoundOn, and other platforms, with a running time of about 27 minutes. We invite you to listen and enter Karinne Grimaud's philosophical world of light and shadow.
