marie-pierre brunel

Both winding and singular, Marie-Pierre Brunel's career never ceases to surprise with its evolution. Armed with a solid technical background after a double course at the École Européenne Supérieure de l'Image in Angoulême then at the Beaux-Arts school in Marseille, a long stay within Le Dernier Cri publisher and a job as assistant in the workshop of Damien Deroubaix, at 39 years old she asserts herself as one of the most accomplished artists.

First recognized for her work in small press and illustration, in recent years she has developed a strong pictorial production, which resonates with the concerns of the time.

Questioning the relationship between humans and nature, evoking the place of women in our society and childhood traumas, Marie-Pierre Brunel summons ancestral rituals and popular beliefs to instill a feeling of disturbing strangeness in her exhibitions.

Poetic and militant, imposing the sometimes difficult learning of sorority as a central theme, while offering a nuanced and inclusive vision of femininity and gender, the body of work assembled by Marie-Pierre Brunel reveals an artist on fire, resolutely contemporary.
