MEEDEA MURIOTI

ARTIST STATEMENT

Medeea Murioti is a Romanian artist based in the North-West of England. Her painted drawings, assembled to create a collective narrative, explore mortality and the cyclicity of life through the use of rhythm, repetition of difference, abstraction and figuration. The human is situated between primordial states, alluding to creation myths through the natural elements introduced. The body transmutes into fuel for the consumption of non-human life, reintegrating it in the ecosystem of death and rebirth.

The works are characterised by the use of monochromatic colour and a flattening of form, the stripping of distinct features points to the loss of individuality and uniformization. Concealment is sought through simplification, putting up a barrier meant to contrast the inward pull of the work in its physical ensemble. There is both unification and fragmentation, emphasizing the altering process demanded by living, of going through space-time as clusters of matter we are for a short time we are on this earth.
