BIOGRAPHY

Mallorca, 1987. Based in Bordeaux

Franco-American artist Gabriela Meunié started her career as a painter, following her art studies in Mallorca and Barcelona. Over time, she has increasingly adopted new materials, such as plaster and fabrics, as well as created sculptures and installations.

Influenced by north-American artists like Suzanne McClelland and Joan Mitchell, Gabriela explores the limits of painting as regards to its ability to reflect complex concepts, in the same way that poetry explores the limits of language.

She explores abstraction using different painting materials in large format works and her painting is part of the Abstract Expressionism current where the spontaneous gesture is highlighted.

Through her creations, Meunié also reflects on social issues like gender, class and generational clashes: “My artistic search centers on the key ongoing changes that will define the future of our civilization.”
