About the Artist
Born in France. Iris de Moüy is an artist who draws, paints and writes. Mostly working on paper, de Moüy’s open and spontaneous style expresses an array of emotions with ink, gouache and oil painting. She often tells stories with short animated films, bringing her whimsical drawings to life. Through her work, she creates a distinctive world of her own, informed by both the mundane and the magical which has attracted clients such as Air France, Colette, Hermès, Monoprix, Penguin Books and Samaritaine Paris. She has published multiple books of her work (Chose Commune, 0fr) and currently displays works in galleries (Mayaro) and art bookstores (Yvon Lambert). In 2015 she was artist in residence at Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto, Japan). She lives and works in Paris.

Books
Mayaro Gallery
2020
The publication ‘Boucles étranges’ gathers a series of drawings almost identical. If one flips through the publication, a character comes to life and spins round in an optical illusion. The person holding the book can endlessly repeat this loop, in one way and then the other way around.
Chose Commune
2019
With her open and spontaneous line, Iris de Moüy draws emotion. In “Horses Are Blue” she creates a world filled with mysterious creatures and extraordinary people. These whimsical figures encounter, dare and embrace across the pages, inspiring a letting go.
Be-Poles

0fr. Publication
2016
With a seemingly offhand attitude, several girls perform gestures of daily life – like a dance. They’re all connected and they all need each other to keep the balance. This catalogue was published on the occasion of Iris’ “Petite conne” exhibition at 0fr. Paris.
