Michel Macréau (1935-1995) was a French artist known for his raw style, often associated with outsider art and free figuration. Created on various media, his works instinctively blend human forms and symbols. Michel Macréau explored profound themes such as suffering and sexuality in a style reminiscent of graffiti. Largely unknown during his lifetime, his work has since gained recognition in contemporary art.

"As a passionate advocate for the singular work of painter Michel Macréau, I initiated, in close collaboration with his wife, the creation of the Michel Macréau Committee. Our mission is to promote his work, create a comprehensive inventory of his production for the development of a catalog raisonné, and provide expert assessments."

By showcasing the rich spectrum of his creations, which explore themes like the human condition, suffering, and sexuality with raw graphic intensity, our goal is to assert Michel Macréau's influence in the history of art and to share his legacy with a wider audience, both in France and internationally.
