Description
Solo show. With her extremely sharp pen, Mad Meg analyses and points out all the mishaps of our times. The crimes of the mighty and powerful, the vileness of money business, the sanitary crisis are some of the subjects she treats in her daring drawings. Ancient artworks come as an underlining, and stress with their own vocabulary the critical message of the artist. Solidly grounded in feminist thought, her approach of old works of art allows us to rediscover Grandville’s scathing qualities and Callot’s vividness. Mad Meg gets along old masters in order to « digest » their lessons. Thus she builds an activist art history that keeps fueling rebellion. Exhibition curated by the artist and Anne Richard, curator and founder of Hey ! Modern art & pop culture art magazine, with the collaboration of Michèle Leinen, head of Graphic Arts Cabinet, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy. Biography Mad Meg was born in 1976, and since 2001, she draws an autobiographical and politically radical body of work. Using her pen and black ink drawings, she analyses and criticizes the world’s current affairs. She lays claim to Hieronymus Bosch affiliation, and feels her drawing indebted with his fantastic and swarming universe. In each one of her drawings, a thoroughly referenced thought expresses itself in accurate and minute pictorial realization.
