Tania Mouraud. A retrospective

Tania Mouraud is a unique artist in a class of her own. Her work has continued to evolve since she started creating in the 1960s, alternatively exploring multiple media including painting, installation, photography, performance, video and sound. One thing has remained constant, her works have always explored the relationship between art and social connections. With this in mind, she suggested integrating meditation rooms in standard homes (1968). She plastered her discontentment with society, with materialism taking precedent over man, on 4 x 3 meter billboards (1977). She has also reflected upon the aesthetic relationship between art and war, and through the act of writing, has examined the limits of perception by creating “words of form”* (1989). Since 1998, she has intertwined photography, video and sound with painting to examine the different aspects of history and the living.
