Georges Meurdra

Georges Meurdra (born February 12, 1960, in Strasbourg) is a French abstract expressionist sculptor.

Life
Since he graduated from the Valence Art School (École régionale des beaux-arts de Valence, (Drôme), in 1983, Georges Meurdra has mainly devoted himself to metal sculpture. Since his encounter with American sculptor Mark di Suvero, in 1988, he has consistently cooperated with La Vie des Formes for the execution of monumental sculptures, notably in France and in New York. His technique, characterized by a strong determination to work without constraints, has led Meurdra to recommend the use of recycled materials. Georges Meurdra currently lives and works in France in Beaumont-lès-Valence.
