Biography
Born in Paris in 1973, Maud Merouze is a French painter.
From childhood, she finds refuge in painting, a growing passion and an escape from a reality that displeases her. At the age of 16, she discovered cubism and its geometric shapes which constitute the very foundation of her work. In her painting, she finds a new way of representing the world and begins to paint her own conception of modernity. Conformity turns her off, she creates her own interpretation of the world. On canvas or on wood, she transcribes her moods and injustices. Perfectly self-taught, she works on her technique. In 2000, she exhibited for the Lucien Barrière group with a new series on Casino games, in 2004 the Galerie La Bohème in Deauville opened its doors to her. Exhibitions, collective fairs and public sales will follow, notably in Fontainebleau and Honfleur. In 2010, a new "ALL IN" series to inaugurate French Roulette. She interprets the closed atmosphere of the addiction of games by adding her colors and her rigorous and dark lines.
In 2015 she presented "Chaines de Vie" at Art Dalia in the Marais. The confinement that she conditions and from which she implodes at this period of her life gives birth to larger formats in which intertwine, intersect and s 'suffocate chains of all sizes. Exploded or encrusted in an oak stump, they spring up in a perfect balance of graphics, color and freedom. The symbolism is strong. "We are all a slave to someone or something"; hierarchical superior, spouse, family, political system or religion "which prevents us from being oneself, from being the essence of oneself. In 2016 she works in collaboration with Galerie Signatures in Cannes to promote other artists. The series" STRIP ", of which she shapes and prepares each piece of cardboard, is a visual of a daily addiction to screens, applications, love, the recording of a flow of information, such as memory strips on lines to be respected Playing with juxtaposition, collages or sanded, smoothed or lacquered cardboard, each of her works is shaped from a part of herself.
