Scripting

About Scripting

Calligraphic lines visible, almost forensically, through a burnished pool of layered bronze-orange acrylic continue in a secretive glyphic at the foot of the square canvas. The whole floats on a ground of pale lilac and is underlined by a strip of lime green at the bottom edge of the canvas.

They form an indecipherable but deliberate communication that Teichert refers to as visual poetry: "The notation of language has always held more fascination for me than the verbal or auditory expression of it. Reading and absorbing the images of many manuscripts, sheets of music or pages of scripted writing throughout my life has always led me to that curious space between perception and interpretation.'

Alice Teichert, RCA, was born in Paris, France, in 1959. She studied music, philosophy and visual arts in Belgium and France. Since 1989, she has built an international career with over 40 solo exhibitions in Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany and Australia.
The recipient of numerous awards, in 2024, she was inducted into the prestigious Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA) in recognition of her exceptional contribution to the visual arts. Alice Teichert’s paintings are held in many private, corporate and public collections worldwide.
