Mocquet\u2019s is a world of animated objects and anthropomorphic animals: birds, volca noes and beasts bleed into her raw surfaces. A rising art star, Mocquet\u2019s paintings sold out in one day at her most recent Paris gallery show. This is the first book on her work.<br \/>\nMocquet\u2019s painting is striking for its singularity, spontaneity, and freedom. Drawing on art history \u2014 from Symbolism to Surrealism to Expressionism and action painting \u2014 as well as on more contemporary images from the world of manga and cartoons, her explosive painting, populated with animals, monsters, and anthropomorphic objects, leads viewers into a dreamlike and enigmatic universe.<br \/>\nSince her first solo exhibitions in 2007 at Freight + Volume in New York and Galerie Alain Gutharc in Paris, Mocquet has worked in a style of faux naivet\u00e9. Like someone who appears to stumble but who always recovers her balance, Mocquet uses technical accidents as the mainspring for her bizarre and often grotesque narrative.<br \/>\nThis volume, published in association with Mocquet\u2019s first museum exhibition, at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, France, in spring 2009, presents more than 100 paintings by this newly celebrated artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thierry Raspail<\/strong> is Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon and Artistic Director of the Biennale of Contemporary Art of Lyon.<br \/>\n<strong>Herv\u00e9 Percebois<\/strong> is a curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon<br \/>\n<strong>Hugues Jacquet<\/strong> is an art historian and critic.
