Artist of the Collection

Petra Mrzyk

Born in 1973 at Nuremberg, Allemagne

Together, Petra Mrzyk and Jean-François Moriceau create dreamlike drawings that unfold in imaginary and psychedelic worlds midway between dream and reality. Their playful and exuberant strokes find their inspiration in today’s world: television icons, advertisements, science fiction images, the world of childhood. The two artists were quick to move beyond the sheet of paper and increasingly work on the scale of the mural or in animated film. They have created music videos for Air, Justice, and Sébastien Tellier.

Petra Mrzyk, born in 1973 in Nuremberg, and Jean-François Morceau, born in 1974 in Saint-Nazaire, have been working together since they met at the École des Beaux-arts de Quimper in 1999. They live and work in Montjean-sur-Loire.
