Faced with Joël Andrianomearisoa's drawings and cut fabrics, I cannot quite decide if they should be considered an art work, an architect's draft, or a machine of enigmatic function. The geometry of the angle, this founding principle "In the beginning, there was the squarer" ? and not formlessness or the big bang burst ? is spread out black on white. Without being lost. i am seduced by this textile, some time paper, image at the saine time hot and cold. Far from being indifferent to it, I am irritated by this impossible final frontier of the object.

 

Joël plays with the crossing of genres and styles : he wants to be neither designer, architect, nor artist ; and yet, he takes on the work of the designer, the architect, or the artist. Throughout his intuition appears this basic motion that crosshatches the artistic expression of our time ? to work where one to work.
