EMERICH MEERSON
Emerich Meerson, a French painter born in Germany, spent his childhood in Bulgaria. He lives and works in Paris. He designed watches and Jewelry collections under his own name, as well as for the most celebrated jewelers, such as Tiffany’s, Elsa Perretti, Mikimoto, Van Cleef & Arpels.
Recognized as one of the most talented designers of his generation, he always continued to draw and paint.
Since 1992 painting is his sole profession. The result today is an extraordinary body of work. He has been exhibiting, first in private surroundings, then in individual or group shows.
It’s hard to classify Emerich Meerson in a particular school or trend, because of his abundant creativity and his constant pursuit of plastic expression.
His Individuality is strong and recognizable in all his work, which is, first and always, full of emotion. To look at one of his drawings, one of his paintings, one of his sculptures, always inspires questions, feelings, and reflection. That’s because the artist always looks for the truth hidden behind the visible world. Sometimes profusely, sometimes sparsely, he transmutes the vibrations of the material, the coexistence of order and disorder, and the movement toward becoming rather than an image stuck in the present. His work is rich and enriching.
INSPIRATION
The rhythms breathe, imitating a version of nature that has been reorganized by Emerich MEERSON. This is definitely concrete “abstraction”.
“Each vision corresponds to a response from the outside to the inside, from the heart of man to the soul of the world. (….) Everything here is contained in the gesture, the writing, and the silence. Curling, dancing, shapes, territories, stained glass, a labyrinth-tree rising and extending to the surface, behind which I invite you to look at the shivering rainbow of nights-days-water and fire.”
