Marie-Jo Bourron is a French sculptor. Her friend François Soubeyran - one of the four members of the Jacques brothers - is a singer as well as a potter, and introduced her to working with clay.
Marie-Jo Bourron enrolled in evening classes at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 19684. She soon began working in clay, marble and bronze, and exhibited her work for the first time in 1974 at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris.
She exhibited almost every year in France, but also in the United States, Germany and Switzerland, both individually and in groups, notably in 1988 in Chicago as part of a duo at Galerie Jacques Baruch5 with photographer Lucien Clergue and painter Sacha Chimkevitch.
Drawing gesture and mastery from Rodin, Marie-Jo Bourron worked with a freedom and modernity of expression that gave her work a unique aspect.
She was a complete artist. Tackling classic materials such as bronze and marble, she renewed her repertoire by using original plasters that she patinated, cast or molded resins, other composites and, finally, clay. The latter is her preferred medium.
Marie-Jo Bourron is directly inspired by Camille Claudel. Like the latter, she is one of the few women to sculpt, and also pursues her quest for realism. Marie-Jo gives her nudes a similar touch, working on poses and patinas. She brings a bold newness to them.
Marie-Jo Bourron experiments with a wide range of techniques, from carving directly into marble to stamping into terracotta, using lost wax, casting, molding and assembling random objects. She can be compared to the sculptor César, a great innovator of twentieth-century sculpture techniques.
