Biography
Joël Andrianomearisoa portrait“It is neither a painting, a sculpture nor an architectural assemblage...it is an installation that has different elements that refer to architecture, painting and sculpture but also to love, desire, loss, despair, hope.”
- Joël A.
Born in 1977 in Antananarivo, Madagascar, Joël Andrianomearisoa is an artist living and working between Paris, Antananarivo and Magnat-l'Étrange.Andrianomearisoa's work encompasses different mediums and materials, seeking to give form to non-explicit, often abstract, narrations. His mixed-media approach - encompassing sculpture, installation, craft, textile, and through unprecedented collaborations - is informed by his Madagascan roots, itself a country of diverse cultural influences. Imbued with complex emotional experiences, his delicate, often ambiguous works are considered an ongoing series of ever-evolving exercises, which consider the aesthetic and architecture of feelings that all perceive, yet cannot put a name to.Although fabric is considered his main choice, he has never let this become a comfort zone, expanding his artistic elaboration through the use of different materials, all chosen with a precise study and purpose. Andrianomearisoa is a poet of the material, the compositions with which he designs and constructs his works are wisely studied in such a way as to be able to convey an emotion, a feeling, whether hopeful or dramatic, through the compositional arrangement of his creations.
"It is neither a painting, a sculpture nor an architectural assemblage... it is an installation that has different elements that refer to architecture, painting and sculpture but also to love, desire, loss, despair, hope"
- Joël Andrianomearisoa
The material becomes the aesthetic medium of his creed, the composer of his ideas, the communicator of a subtle and suave message. Many of his works are driven by an aesthetic credo, something that is animated by elegance, refinement, but also by the power of a subtle communication, conveying his philosophical facets without externalizing them immediately, but almost whispering softly and harmoniously to the viewer his allegory.
In 2019, Andrianomearisoa represented Madagascar at the 58th Biennale di Venezia, and his work has been exhibited in leading global institutions including MAXXI, Rome (2018); Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2010); the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, Washington DC (2015) and the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2005) and more recently at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2021). In 2022, beside OUR LAND JUST LIKE A DREAM at the MACAAL (Marocco), Joël Andrianomearisoa also has a solo exhibition on the continent. Therefore THE FIVE CONTINENTS OF ALL OUR DESIRES overlooked in the Zeitz MOCAA's atrium (Cape-Town, South Africa). Joël Andrianomearisoa also launched two public sculptures in Antananarivo in October 2021, supported by the Fonds Yavarhoussen. Later in 2024 Andrianomerisoa Inaugurated a new 2000 sq. meters space for his foundation, Hakanto Contemporary. Dedicated to the promotion of contemporary Malagasy art, the independent non-profit space Hakanto Contemporary was co-founded in Antananarivo in 2020 by artist Joël Andrianomearisoa, who also serves as its artistic director, and entrepreneur and patron Hasnaine Yavarhoussen. A project by artists for artists. -
