If at first glance, due to its style, the work of Nadia Merzoug hints at the influences of abstract expressionists, a second glance allows us to measure how much the artist has made the very particular techniques of this movement her own.
At the crossroads of abstract composition and the figurative world, Nadia Merzoug's canvases strongly demonstrate both the legacy of Hans Hofmann and his empirical theory of color, as well as her control of colored layers, this structure of fields of artists from the Colourfield Painting movement such as Clyfford Still and Mark Rothko.
But the quality and originality of Nadia Merzoug's canvases are only revealed at the third glance, that of Woman. Like in Helen Frankenthaler's infinite shades of colors, in the lively gestures and power of Joan Mitchell's canvases, in the torments of those of Ethel Schwabacher, or even those of Anita de Caro.
Nadia Merzoug's message: the political one, that of the place of the woman artist in our society. A militant message for more representation, visibility, and equality. Nadia Merzoug, through her synthesis of the best of abstract expressionists, men and women, thus presents a strong and contemporary message in her canvases to anyone aspiring to autonomy, freedom, and independence.
Her work is today rightly rewarded with numerous exhibitions and engagements in Switzerland.
