Joël Andrianomearisoa
Joël Andrianomearisoa is an artist born in 1977 in Antananarivo, Madagascar, a country he represented at the 2019 Venice Biennale. The artist creates abstract narrative forms using various materials, which lead him to employ writing, sewing, sculpture, and craft. Rooted in emotion, his works evoke his Malagasy roots and reflect their plural nature as well as their perpetually evolving state. In motion, his work attempts to capture the ineffable to develop a more universally readable grammar that plays precisely on the difficulty and ambiguity of the notion of understanding.
Joël Andrianomearisoa lives between Paris, Antananarivo, and Magnat-l’Étrange, and has exhibited at the Centre Pompidou and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MAXXI in Rome, the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington.
