One-of-a-kind edition

Immersed in nature, the artist draws her inspiration from her travels and her daily life. Vast landscapes, clear skies adorned with anamorphic clouds, the ripple of the wind across the fields, the fleeting touches of colorful flowers, the steep lines of a mountain range, the tall silhouette of a tree detached by the setting sun on the horizon. Hoon Moreau absorbs this living nature that she inhabits, that inhabits her, to become its artistic accomplice. As a contemporary sculptor of the twenty-first century, Hoon Moreau is part of the wave of artists whose concerns question behaviors and social relations in a world where the beauty of our planet needs to be appreciated and recognized more than ever. Our connections to nature, to others, to ourselves, and our hopes for the future are subject to the forces of gravity, the dynamics of the universe, and the complex and constant balance found everywhere. As evidenced by the works of Hoon Moreau and put into words by the French astrophysicist. Hubert Reeves, Reeves, “We are stardust,” stardust that has a tangible impact on the Earth.

Inspired by the world around us – stones like humans, landscapes or stories that relate in mirror – Hoon Moreau tries to transcribe them through her visual language in the furniture she creates. Poems, songs of joy, fairy tales or nostalgic reminiscences intermingle in an insane harmony in motion. It offers to the gaze, chests of drawers, tables, lamps or screens, in a set where delicate taut lines are linked, monochrome colored shades, dense presences which take flight. Time and dreams come together here. The secret movement of singular beauty appears and invites itself into our daily lives. His sculpted furniture marries poetic creativity and meticulous realization, shattering the barrier between art and life, beauty and utility. In search of a symbiosis, on the one hand between the quintessence of nature and the crystallization of sublime beauty, on the other hand between artistic creation and functionality, Hoon Moreau offers a new aesthetic adventure that becomes reality.
