Miryan Klein
Lyons-born Miryan, claims herself an epicurean as regarding art and life. She shares her time between her Normandy residence and Nice, where she works in a studio quietly nested in the Mont Boron. We have met her. At first sight, the artist seems both shy and extrovert, cheerful and mysterious. However, she happens to be an approachable and generous person.
The artists who still have their studio in the Mont Boron are few. Miryan is aware it is a privilege and she talks about hers with fondness and attachment. No visitors are allowed in the place dedicated to privacy and absolute freedom. Gently untidy, the studio is tinged with Miryan’s personality and real-life experience.
A committed artist, she reports our society’s faults and sublimates them at the same time; in doing so, she unveils her pity for mankind. Strength and subtlety structure her work. The diversity of process and materials supports the variety of themes examined from points of view often unexpected. She delights in using neon, a poor material. In her “no painting” pieces, light replaces pigment.
She intends to witness. Coming from absolute need to tell her own truth, her involvement is sincere. All is crucial in her work : the techniques she uses, issued from desire to touch, to show, contribute to create a means of expression personal as well as reflecting the period. And Miryan Klein in a manner of her own revisits Manet’s Déjeuner sur l’Herbe.
She successfully switches from sculpting to painting, a passage she loves to explore freely regardless of codes. Her sculpture named The Crowd exposes over population, racism and the loss of identity inherent to contemporary society. She does not judge, she only points out facts. Hers is a woman’s, an artist’s and a world citizen’s statement. With her canvas referring to Man Ray’s Violon d’Ingres, she faces contemporary aesthetics codes, beyond illness, in a frank and frontal confrontation with our times.
In a very relaxed frame of mind, Miryan Klein assumes today’s values and way of life along with her opinions and her feminine characteristics. A committed woman, she intends to help the world at large and the art world go better.
Her creation is funded on the overall coherence of her report and her work displays that she acts with complete freedom in the art world.
