About
Born in Caen in 1982, Morgane Guimbault is a training architect and a self-taught artist. She is a graduate of the Ecole Boulle and the Paris La Villette School of Architecture. Very early she cultivated a soul of traveler with many trips in Scotland and Spain. After graduating as an architect, she lived for a year in London in the neighborhood of Brick Lane with many art galleries and artists' studios. She will discover the frenzy and energy of London's creation. She then moved to Shanghai, one of the largest cities in Asia, for five years. She will feed on the meticulous work of local artists who, despite the censorship of the Chinese government, claim an emerging and politicized art.
Back in France, she chose to sign her first works under the pseudonym "TataMo". Behind this childish consonance, she questions real societal problems in a simple and direct way like a child. For her, creating is an essential process for re-energizing, giving meaning to life and expressing her vision of the world in perpetual lag. These works are shared between common sense, the gaze towards others and an ecological sensitivity.
She has worked on several series dealing with different themes that sometimes complement each other, or the opposite:
- Endangered species (2016-2017): Disappearance and Entomology.
- Precious quotations (2015-2016)
- Micro-macro (2014-2015)
Matter is the basis of his work. She uses acrylic, cotton and cardboard, with techniques such as collage, embroidery, work of volumes ... These different supports give a different reading to each of these works.
She cultivates the art of repetition, a non-mechanical or generic repetition, but rather a compulsive, obsessive, and systematic repetition that expresses a desire for perfection of the gesture, which gives meaning to her works and sheds light on the global message of her artistic series.
Sometimes abstract and sometimes figurative, these works always carry a message or question, and in both cases they offer a double reading: one is childish and graphic, accessible to the youngest or the uninitiated, and the other is more percussive and sensitive.
TataMo does not claim any movement or artistic current. The use of the various mediums for her works is the fruit of personal affinity, encounters and sometimes the chance of life.
Each of her series is the fruit of a long reflection with the primary objective of asking society in the simplest way possible with tools accessible and comprehensible to all without abuses of style and without falling into the too minimal.
She is a resolutely contemporary artist whose inspiration comes from the world around her, from the topicality of everyday life, the mechanization / dematerialization of society and the too much information that we have received since the explosion of the Internet.
