Presentation

Born and raised in the Haut-Savoyard mountains, Mademoiselle Maurice is a French artist. After studying Architecture in Lyon, it was in Geneva and Marseille that she put down her bags, before going to live a year in Japan. Following this year in the land of the rising sun, and following the tragic events of March 11, 2011 (Earthquakes, tsunami and the explosion of the Fukushima nuclear power plant) while she was living in Tokyo, she decided to start composing his plastic and urban works related to these facts. It is based on the legend of the 1000 cranes and on the story of Sadako, a little girl who lived through the tragedy of Hiroshima. Now living between Paris and Marseille, Mademoiselle Maurice develops and then creates in her workshop countless colorful works, bearing the fruits of a journey rich in influences and lessons. Via paper, paint, metal or even other mixed and “recycling” techniques, she gives birth to works in direct contact with her daily life. Her favorite materials being paper and yarn, she likes to shape noble and natural materials in a complex way. Emerging from the grayness of Paris, a nebula of works is born, breaking with urban monotony. A real punctuation of the city as of her life, the work of this young artist overflowing with imagination is radically displayed outside the walls of her workspace. From these openly positive, ultra-colorful and demanding creations emanates a carousel of emotion where everyone finds an echo to their own sensitivity. Light in appearance, Mademoiselle Maurice's work questions and raises many questions about human nature and the interactions that man and his environment maintain. Breath of freshness but true evolutionary reflection, Mademoiselle Maurice's artistic approach opens up, by paving the duality of a reality as attractive as it is repulsive, large spaces of abstractions in the city. Some countries where color and paper have been deployed: France (Paris, Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Carhaix, Nantes, Lyon, Reims ... etc), Italy (Sicily, San Potito), Germany (Berlin), Holland, Sweden (Malmo) , Norway (Bodo), China (Haikou), Vietnam (Hue), Australia (Sydney), USA (New York and San Francisco), Singapore, Mexico (Mexico), Slovakia (Kosice), Singapore, Portugal (Lisboa), Japan (Tokyo), Saudi Arabia (Sharjah), England (London), Belgium (Brussels), Greece (Athens), Brazil (Natal, Canto Verde, Rio)… The only permanent walls are in Saint-Quentin in Picardy, at the station Maryland in London and in San Potito in Italy: (Walls with faience installation) and in Sète (K-Live), in MAUSA (Jura) and in Berlin (Germany): (Walls with metal origami).
