Lavoir Vasserot exhibition -Mouss

Mouss has won numerous awards at competitions and shows in France and abroad, and has been exhibiting internationally for over 30 years.

Self-taught, multidisciplinary artist Moustapha Maiga, known as MOUSS, will be presenting some sixty unique works - ranging from figurative to abstract - at the Lavoir Vasserot in St Tropez.

Through his canvases and dyes, Mouss recounts his observations and his deep sense of life - the visible and the invisible. He paints sound. He seeks to "tame matter - magma" and "capture light". Favoring noble materials - working mainly with pigments, natural textile supports and plant preparations - he paints with his fingers, sometimes with both left and right hands, sometimes holding several brushes simultaneously...

With a career in art spanning over 30 years, Mouss never ceases to surprise. He's always on the lookout for new sensations, approaches and techniques to communicate beyond words. The harmony of colors, shades and shapes, skilfully fused with his intriguing and evocative compositions - sometimes arouses unexpected emotions and sensations in the viewer. Some say that Mouss has six or even seven senses, so multi-sensory is his work. Faced with his canvases, you can't help but feel the artist's warm, communicative spirit.
