ABOUT MYRIAM:
Born in Le Havre, graduated from the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, she joined the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel in 1983 where she signed the artistic direction of the very first French films made by computer, becoming a pioneer of French computer-generated imagery. But soon the constraints of audiovisual production weighed on his need for creative freedom. In 86, a striking dream made her give up a career as a director to devote herself exclusively to painting. She soon moved to Yport, a small coastal village in Normandy where she still lives. His paintings were quickly noticed and exhibited at the Terre Nuevas Museum in Fécamp for his first solo exhibition in 1990. From museums to cultural venues, her work is now recognized and praised throughout Europe: in Italy where she exhibits regularly (Villa Carlotta on Lake Como, Palazzo Reale in Genoa), in England, in Belgium in Spain, in Switzerland (Palais des Nations in Geneva), to Vietnam, invited by the Museum of Fine Arts of Ho Chi Minh City. A member of the Comparaison group, present every year at the Grand Palais in Paris, as well as the Havre women’s collective Échelle, her works are available online via the Singulart, Saatchi Art, and Critic Art galleries. Feuilloley’s work was born from the dream, whose springs and the wonderful she exploits. It represents the human, free of superficiality (hairstyle, clothes, various ornaments) which then becomes a substance laid bare, which the artist models or distorts at leisure. Its objective is above all the search for pure, clear, luminous emotion… This emotion unfolds beyond materiality, beyond form, beyond the veil of appearances. The result is a painting from elsewhere, characterized by a disturbing realism that has its roots in Flemish painting of the fifteenth century. Throughout the paintings, Myriam Feuilloley draws a bridge between the possible and the impossible, the visible and the invisible. She invites us into a magical world where common laws are to be reinvented, where poetry and humor transport us from pain to sweetness.
