Artistic approach

Emerich Meerson, designer and painter,  

né in Germany, lives and works abroad Paris.

It is difficult to attach Emerich Meerson to a school or at any trend, because its creativity abundant and his constant search for plastic expressions make him a very particular and unique artist.

His individuality is strong and recognizable in all her work, which is above all and always full of emotion.

Looking at one of his drawings, one of his paintings or one of his sculptures always inspires sensations, questions, and reflections.

Emerich Meerson, in his work, is never demonstrative;                      but still evocative.

The reason is that the artist, in his faith as well as in the meditations preceding his work, always seeks the truth of his work. hidden behind the visible world.

 

This truth which will lead us to a better, more peaceful, more fulfilled life.

Sometimes with profusion, sometimes with restraint,  Emerich Meerson transposes the vibration of materials, the coexistence of order and disorder, the movement towards becoming rather than the frozen image in the present.

His work is rich and enriching

The artist has no events planned at the moment. I add an event
The artist has not yet entered his path.
