Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary textile artwork features a blend of natural and synthetic materials, creating a striking and textured composition. The piece is dominated by a warm, earthy color palette, with prominent use of beige, brown, and black hues. The overall shape is irregular and asymmetrical, with a fringed border that adds depth and movement. The subject matter combines abstract geometric patterns, organic shapes, and found objects. There are woven and embroidered elements, as well as appliquéd pieces, indicating a range of techniques employed by the artist. The artwork has a sense of layering and collage, suggesting a process of accumulation and exploration. The style is experimental and expressive, blending traditional craft methods with a contemporary sensibility. The artist's intention may have been to create a tactile, sensory experience that challenges the viewer's perception of textiles and their role in art. ...

Artist

Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien

1990 , French

Born in 1990 to an Ivorian father and a Guadeloupean mother, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien grew up between Abidjan and Paris. She lives and works in Paris. Trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Cergy, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien has developed an ambitious, sensitive and polymorphous personal practice. Creator of new forms, explorer of materials and signs, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien defines herself as a storyteller of poems. Like labyrinths or rebus, her works compose new topographies around the themes of femininity, identity and the body, at the crossroads of her Caribbean and West African heritage. The artist’s works, on the border of sculpture, weaving and installation, offer us the possibility of navigating the meanders of their poetic narratives, of losing the landmarks that have been bequeathed to us in order to perhaps better redraw a path of life that is our own. ...

They are observers of the world they live in, critics of society, and committed to their positions living within complex histories. In turn, they ask us to reconsider our own relation to the world. ...
