Roman Moriceau

After completing his studies at the Beaux-Arts of Angers (Fr) and a brief stay in London, Roman spent several years working in the fashion industry, with Martin Margiela in particular. This experience in fashion clarified the relationship he has always maintained with the world and objects, fine-tuning his ability to consider forms within a social, cultural and political context.

Roman Moriceau's artistic practice questions the place of Man in his environment. Portraying the world with a tender irony, he entices us to see things in a new light. The concept of Time is also central to his work as a force of change and alteration. When choosing amongst various media he considers their nature, properties and symbolism. He plays with appearances, working on objects' materiality. Roman Moriceau helps us contemplate nature in its fragile and ephemeral condition, making it poetical and precious.

Moriceau has shown his work in solo exhibitions : Traumneustartversuch at Naked Soul in Hamburg (Ger), In heaven everything is fine at the Derouillon gallery (Paris), Smog at Kunsthaus Jetesberg (Ger), Corrélation at the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers (Fr), Roman Moriceau at the Maison Martin Margiela of Tokyo (Jp). He has taken part of various group exhibitions including: Forms follows information at the Biennale Internationale Design of Saint-Etienne (Fr), Salon Montrouge (Fr), Courtes joies at Jean-Baptiste Bouvet studio in Berlin (Ger). The Museum of Angers published a catalogue of his works.
