We’re proud to share the striking project Les Herbes folles du vieux logis by Joël Andrianomearisoa, featured at Art Basel Paris' Public Program in Paris
Joël Andrianomearisoa works across several mediums including textiles, drawing, sculpture, and installation. In his textile works, he underscores the cultural significance of fiber arts in Madagascar, which hold a symbolic role tied to history, memory, and ritual. With vivid colours and dense textures evoking the abundance of the natural world, this monumental work opens onto an imaginary landscape.
Its title is borrowed from a poetry collection by Maurice Ramarozaka (1931–2010), a Malagasy writer and diplomat who viewed poetry as a way of being and living across multiple geographies.
The work belongs to an ongoing series that includes three works now held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Andrianomearisoa's work will be displayed in in the courtyard of the Hôtel de la Marin (2 Place de la Concorde, Paris) from October 10th until November 2nd, 2025.
