[6][7] Joël Andrianomearisoa was born and grew up in Antananarivo, and lived through the period of socialist revolution led by Commander Didier Ratsiraka, also known as "the Red Admiral".
In 2005, he graduated as an architect, presenting an entirely graphic and textile project, far from the classical architectural approach and encouraged by his research director, Odile Decq.
[3] Since his graduation from architecture school, Joël Andrianomearisoa's works have been exhibited in many prestigious international cultural institutions such as the MAXXI in Rome, the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the Smithsonian in Washington, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Cape Town) or the Maccal (Marrakech).
[4] Several works by the artist are characterized by their monumental and poetic character as the Labyrinth of passion, a diptych composed of a large piece of white and black silk paper for which Joël Andrianomarisoa became the first non-Spanish artist to receive in 2016 the Arco Madrid Audemars Piguet prize or I Have Forgotten the Night for the Pavilion of Madagascar at the Venice Biennale.
[9] For several months, a giant neon designed by the artist overlaid its message "Here we carry the dreams of the world" the front of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
[3] In 2022 in Milan and at the Château de Chaumont, with Les herbes folles du vieux logis, Joël Andrianomearisoa makes a nod to the Malagasy poet Maurice Ramarozaka, from whom he borrows the title of a collection of poems for a series of pastel drawings, large textile paintings and smaller designs based on the assembly of gold silk thread.
[14] In the continuity of their exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Joël Andrianomearisoa was invited to participate in Dior's first exhibition in the Middle East, at the M7 in Doha (Qatar), "Christian Dior : Designer of Dreams", by realizing paintings of scarves of the house cut out and sewn on a wall of 20 meters x 10 meters by using as raw material scarves of the house.
