Biography

Alice Teichert, RCA, is a highly regarded multidisciplinary artist whose impressive oeuvre spans decades and includes painting, text works, printmaking, and performance arts. In 2024, in recognition of her exceptional contribution to the visual arts, she was inducted into the prestigious Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA).

Inspired by medieval manuscripts and music, Teichert is perhaps best known for her ethereal, luminous abstract paintings, which display her masterful use of bold colours, layered translucent glazes and distinctive lettering. Her poetic visual language is designed to evoke emotion, provoke transformation, and invite the viewer into another world.

Teichert was born in Paris, France, in 1959 and later studied music, philosophy and visual arts in Belgium and France. She obtained a diploma in Fine Arts from the École des Beaux-Arts de Valence in France in 1984. Moving to Toronto in 1984, she continued her postgraduate studies focusing on colour field and minimalist works in both Toronto and New York City.

Since 1989, she has built an international career with over 40 solo exhibitions in commercial galleries and art museums in Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Australia. Teichert’s paintings are held in many private, corporate, and public collections worldwide, including the MacLaren Art Centre, Global Affairs Canada, the Musée de la Ville de Valence, France and the Museumsquartier of Lübeck, Germany.

An English-German edition of a monograph by Dagmar Täube, titled In)Formation - On the Philosophy and Art of Alice Teichert, has recently been published by Hirmer Publishers, Münich, Germany.
