Galerie Meubles et Lumières is delighted to announce its second exhibition dedicated to the ceramic artist Mireille Moser. Following the success of her first show in 2016, the artist was given carte blanche and now returns with twenty-five new sculptures, all created specifically for this exhibition.

From her studio in Rochebaudin, in the heart of the Drôme and surrounded by a breathtaking panorama of mountains, Moser once again draws inspiration from the landscape around her, as well as from the megaliths she discovered nearby in Ardèche, whose physical properties fascinate her. She continues her research into volume, driven by the obsession that it should appear almost excessively light, even in motion. “Each piece opens a new path for me,” she explains. Each work, indeed, is unique.

Moser plays with perception: here a cube shifts off-axis and breaks apart into oblique planes; there a form softens, as if collapsing or deflating. Once again, the artist balances volumes and explores equilibrium.

She also engages with materials. Using the same chamotte and iron-rich stoneware, she sometimes accentuates roughness by scoring the surface of her pieces, or emphasizes rusticity by leaving visible the imprint of her fingers.

Her glaze palette is deliberately restrained, favoring muted tones: matte basalt blacks, a few cobalt blues, yellows, and greens. For Moser, the essence lies in the structuring of her volumes, which color serves only to highlight.
