- Catherine Meurisse once again draws upon her memories. Her stay in a far-off, strange-yet-familiar land, at the Japanese villa Kujoyama in 2018, provides the artist another opportunity to pursue her creative quest, this time where the West and Far East meet. In the manner of Lewis Carroll, the young artist lets characters out of legend lead her through pictorial landscapes. Imagination and dialogue are key to penetrating the secrets of this strange territory and discovering why the young explorer finds it so fascinating. This Alice daydreams and wonders, returning every now and then to reality and nature, that dynamic dictator of events and situations. After The Great Outdoors, Catherine Meurisse continues her pursuit of beauty in an unknown land, between mountain and sea, illustrating landscapes that reflect the seasons and the artist's progress. Truly splendid!
- Catherine Meurisse was born in 1980. After her initial studies in contemporary literature, she went to the Ecole Estienne followed by Arts Déco in Paris to specialize in design and the graphic arts. By 2005, she had joined the team at French satirical magazine "Charlie Hebdo," as well as illustrating for other publications such as "Libération," "Marianne," "Les Échos," and "L'Obs," and publishers like Bayard, Gallimard, Nathan, and Sarbacane. Over the years, she has also authored a number of graphic novels, including "Savoir-vivre ou mourir" (2010, Les Échapées), "Drôles de femmes" (2010, Dargaud), and "Moderne Olympia" (2014, Futuropolis). And in 2016, she published the remarkable "La Légèreté" (Dargaud; "Lightness," Europe Comics), the tale of her return to life and to art following the terrorist attack at Charlie Hebdo in January 2015. In 2018, she released the endearing and thought-provoking graphic novel "Les Grands Espaces" (Dargaud; "The Great Outdoors," Europe Comics). The year after, she published "Delacroix," a very personal graphic adaptation of the memoirs of Alexandre Dumas, a great friend of the painter Eugène Delacroix. In 2020, the year in which a major retrospective was dedicated to her at the Centre Pompidou Library, Catherine Meurisse become the first comic book author to be a member of the Académie des beaux-arts. Her latest album, "La jeune femme et la mer" (Dargaud; "The Young Woman and the Sea," Europe Comics) questions the place of Man in nature and the use of art to capture disappearing landscapes.
