Emerich Meerson, a French painter born in Germany, spent his childhood in Bulgaria during the Second World War. He designed watches and jewellery collections under his own name, as well as for the most celebrated jewellers, such as Tiffany's, Elsa Perretti, Mikimoto, Van Cleef & Arpels. Recognised as one of the most talented designers of his generation, he continues to design and paint. The result today is an extraordinary body of work. He has been exhibiting for only about twelve years, first in private surroundings, then in individual or group shows. * * * * It's hard to classify Emerich Meerson in a particular school or trend, because of his abundant creativity and his constant pursuit of plastic expression. His Individuality is strong and recognisable in all his work, which is, first and always, full of emotion. To look at one of his drawings, one of his paintings, one of his sculptures, always inspires questions, feelings, and reflection. Emmerich Meerson's work is never demonstrative; it's evocative. That's because the artist -- inspired by childhood, the family, love, faith -- always looks for the truth hidden behind the visible world. Sometimes profusely, sometimes sparsely, he transmutes the vibrations of the material, the coexistence of order and disorder, the movement toward becoming rather than an image stuck in the present. His work is rich and enriching. "(....) a kind of dreamy goodliness which transforms (his) violence into meditative energy and movement.... Having been a watch designer has surely given him the taste for dense mechanisms, where the combined elements come together in the interior of compact forms, resulting in the ability (or the predisposition) to compose signs of space-time. The formats can vary; that changes nothing in this ability to accumulate miniature calligraphies which his brush applies to paper that has been treated with India ink. The rhyhms breathe, imitating a version of nature that has been reorganised by Emmerich Meerson. This is definitely concrete "abstraction". Each vision corresponds to a response from the outside to the inside, from the heart of man to the soul of the world. (....) Everything here is contained in the gesture, the writing, and the silence. Curling, dancing, shapes, territories, stained glass, a labyrinth-tree rising and extending to the surface, behind which I invite you to look at the shivering rainbow of nights-days-water and fire."
