Marie Amédro

Rising from the current of geometric abstraction that she links to an ecological sensitivity, Marie Amédro draws her main source of inspiration from the Tree. It was a reading that sparked this curiosity about trees: The Secret Life of Trees, by Peter Wohlleben. From this reading were born the first geometric sketches. “The inner workings of the tree remind me of a flawless organization, which is why I like to play with shapes, symmetry and verticality to create. But shapes have little meaning without color. The combination of the two brings the final touch to the works: the idea of movement, energy and vitality. I also use collage to showcase the bark of the tree which protects the sap from the outside environment. "

For Marie Armédro the tree has a fragile, intelligent and mysterious side that breaks with the image of strength and vigor that sticks to its bark!

Painting, collage or drawing constitute his artistic universe. His intention is to bring his ideas to life by plastically transposing them onto wood, canvas, paper, cardboard ... His seemingly minimalist works carry a story full of meaning. “I like elegance in art. I like that the lines are perfectly straight, that the shapes are correctly identifiable and that the colors do not fight to find their place on the canvas. But I also need my works to not just look good. I need them to mirror an idea or a story and arouse the viewer's curiosity by inviting them to interpret. "
