Tania Mouraud
Tania Mouraud
Born in 1942 in Paris, France
Lives and works in Colombiers, France
“Through my work, I show that philosophy and art should and could merge to advance us on the path to knowledge.
A key figure on the French art scene and an unclassifiable artist, Tania Mouraud refuses to be associated with any particular movement or dogma. Since the late 1960s, Tania Mouraud’s work has been part of a practice that questions the relationship between art and social ties, using a variety of media: painting, installation, photography, sound, video, performance and more.
In 2015, the Centre Pompidou Metz devoted a retrospective monographic exhibition to him.
In 2024, Tania Mouraud was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in the painting section.
