Artist Bio

Roman Moriceau
1976, France - Lives in Paris

After completing his studies at the Beaux-Arts of Angers and a brief stay in London, Roman
spent several years working in the fashion industry, with Martin Margiela in particular. This
experience in fashion clarified the relationship he has always maintained with the world and
abjects, fine-tuning his ability to consider forms within a social, cultural and political context.
Roman Moriceau's artistic practice questions the place of Man in his environment. Portraying the
world with a tender irony, he entices us to see things in a new light. The concept of Time is also
central to his work as a force of change and alteration. When choosing amongst various media
he considers their nature, properties and symbolism. He plays with appearances, working on
abjects' materiality. Roman Moriceau helps us contemplate nature in its fragile and ephemeral
condition, making it poetical and precious.
