Mimosa Echard (born 1986 in Alès, France, lives and works in Paris) is graduated from the
École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Her practice covers a wide range of processes. The artist carries out a work of collection and gleaning, both of natural materials and manufactured elements. She brings them together to make them dialogue, proceeding by contamination, associating the living and the non-living in a hedonic relationship, thus exploring the intermediate stages between the natural and artificial worlds. The resulting creations suggest both their own destruction and their development towards a new stage of evolution.
Mimosa Echard has enjoyed solo exhibitions at ACCA (Melbourne, 2020), Dortmunder Kunstverein (Dortmund, 2019), École municipale des beaux-arts (Gennevilliers, 2019) and Cell Project Space (London, 2017), among others. She has also participated in several group exhibitions. Her works have been acquired by numerous collections, including: CNAP – Centre national des arts plastiques (Paris), Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, Fondation d'entreprise Galeries Lafayette (Paris), Samdani Art Foundation (Dhaka), Ettore Fico Foundation (Turin),
IAC (Villeurbanne). Mimosa Echard was awarded the 2022 Marcel Duchamp Prize.
