Marielle Paul

Calepin, the title of Marielle Paul’s first exhibition at the Galerie Maria Lund, refers to calepinage – a layout sketch developed to prepare and catalogue the cutting and laying of stones, a coating, or even the joints to be drawn. The title therefore refers to the structure and integration of different elements, but also to a small personal notebook, the calepin, in which to write anything and everything, higgledy-piggledy and without hierarchy.

Marielle, the mother, paints in Paris while
Maud, the daughter, designs furniture in Maastricht.

Millepatte -Tusindben is their mother-daughter conversation, nourished by a shared taste for play and a common fascination for the vitality of nature: shapes and colors abound and vibrate with humor.

Marielle’s restless Mosaïques make their way along the wall, while Maud’s Millipede sofa takes a few steps on the floor. […]

Conceived by the artists Alexis Nivelle and Vincent Herlemont in partnership with the Galerie Jean Fournier, the exhibition Abstraction-Mutations seeks to put forward certain dynamics of contemporary creation that take the history of abstraction into account. A history that condenses genealogies and what may seem as contradictory attitudes.

To celebrate the release of ALLEZ ZOU, a series of 6 original lithographs that came to exist in a collaboration between the graphic designer and typographer Pierre di Sciullo and the painter Marielle Paul, the workshop Atelier Michael Woolworth has brought together new artworks from their respective practices, from drawn poems and typographic experimentations to watercolor and gouache paperworks.

Thirty-five years of work deserved to be brought together for an exceptional solo-exhibition in her native
region. This will be an opportunity for the viewer to follow the unique development of her rhizomatous and radicating lines recently mentioned by Karim Ghaddab following the acquisition of Fleurs (2017) by the FRAC Auvergne. Lines that seem more connected to Nature itself than to hardcore abstraction.
